Description
Currently, RetroArch's automatic screenshot capture upon earning an achievement doesn't capture anything but the game source itself.
However, if the screenshot button is pressed manually, RetroArch is able to capture any overlays on the screen.

Would it be possible to integrate this full screenshot capability to the automatic screenshot feature? Thanks!
