I waited about a minute just to be sure but it was just completely frozen. I then shut off the Dreamcast and put my CF card in my PC to see if it took the screenshot anyway but I noticed the card was showing up as "RAW" and unformatted. I tried a bunch of stuff to repair it but had no luck. Then I tried formatting it and it wouldn't even do that. It's apparently completely dead. I don't know how that could have possibly happened but it seems to have been caused by trying to take that screenshot. Any ideas @SWAT? Luckily it's a Sandisk card with a lifetime warranty so I'm getting a replacement but you might want to look into this. I've never had an issue taking screenshots before but I haven't tried since the 4.0 final release.

I'm going to test the same scenario with a cheap CF card I have and see what happens. I'll update with the results.

Edit: So I tried the same thing with another Sandisk card and couldn't replicate the issue. I first swapped out my GD-ROM drive IDE mod for a different one just to rule out any hardware issues and tried taking a screenshot in Agartha three times. The game still froze but didn't cause any issues with the CF card. Then I put the original mod back in and did another three tests and again, no issues. Very strange. Maybe it was just a coincidence that the card died while taking a screenshot. I can't explain it. lol

Apparently, your card simply died at the moment the screenshot was saved. To simplify, at the time of writing to card. The reason for this was hardware issues.
It is impossible to kill a hardware device programmatically, except for overheating, for which you still need to try very hard.
