Emulator Issues #10101

Screenshot feature doesn't work properly in certain situations

Description
I was playing Burnout and I wanted to take a screenshot of the load screen that appears when you start the game. Here it is:
(screenshot taken from a print screen)
But whenever I try to do it with Dolphin's screenshot feature, I get a completely black image. It works perfectly fine in-game, though.

Does the FPS but not the VPS drop to 0 while this is happening? Does enabling XFB fix it?

I've now noticed that the screenshot does get taken, regardless of whether XFB is enabled or not. The thing that was throwing me off was that the screenshot doesn't actually get saved until the load screen starts fading out.

Dolphin doesn't actually save the screenshot until the next frame renders... is this a wontfix or should we accept it?

Something I've realised about when I said
I get a completely black image
That was me pausing emulation, taking a screenshot (while paused) and then ending emulation. When I started emulation again, a completely black screenshot was produced.

- Status changed from New to Working as intended
The game isn't rendering during the loading screen; it actually stops. That's why you get a black screen.
Using RealXFB should fix this, but, honestly, it's working as the current screenshot functionality is intended.
