so my problem i cant take pic of my games with ovelays
there is something special i have to do ? the pic only take the game no with overlay 
RA does not capture the whole screen. If you enable āSettings->Video->GPU Screenshotā, it will also screenshot shader effects, and the part of the overlay that is directly on top of the game image, but the rest of the overlay will not be captured.
Thereās nothing you can do about it. Because of this, I use an external utility to take screenshots.
thanks what kind of utility ?
Iām on Linux with KDE and I use flameshot for this:
I have bound my PrintScr key to this command:
play /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga > /dev/null 2>&1 && flameshot screen --raw | convert - -quality 92 "$(xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS)/Screenshots/$(date +"%F-%H-%M-%S-%N").jpg"
which plays a short sound and then makes a JPG screenshot in the āScreenshotsā folder of my Documents folder.
I bound Ctrl+PrintScr to this command:
play /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga > /dev/null 2>&1 && flameshot screen --raw | convert - -quality 100 "$(xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS)/Screenshots/$(date +"%F-%H-%M-%S-%N").png"
which makes a PNG screenshot.
I did so in KDEās System Settings:
Workspace->Shortcuts->Custom Shortcuts
In Windows, regular olā printscreen should grab it.
Nope. It doesnāt work for stuff that use DirectX, OpenGL, etc, unless you run it in windowed mode.
Really? I was pretty sure Iād grabbed it that way in the past. does that apply with āfullscreen optimizationā? Maybe it was running borderlessā¦
It never worked for me in fullscreen. FSO or not. It only works with windowed and borderless windowed. Which makes sense, since it grabs the image data from DWM. In fullscreen, DWM isnāt doing anything and it just grabs black pixels.
thanks for the help
i use the old program fraps and works fine screenshot with overlay

You can also RTSS if you have that (comes with MSI Afterburner.) You can set a screen capture hotkey in the Afterburner settings.
I use print screen in windows all the time. You have to alt+tab away from RA and back again before you do.
I just used print screen to capture this. (An old install using overlays.)

I press F8 to take screenshots in RetroArch, alternatively I go to Quick Menu, then choose Take Screenshot. My other method is to press Alt-F1 to take a screenshot using Geforce Experience if I want to get the RetroArch menus included.
Windows print screen works when RetroArch is set to Windowed Fullscreen Mode (Settings-Video-Fullscreen Mode)
you can try by the screenshot by the keyboard?
