so far i recall the screen shots were jpg type and i was able to see the screen shots i have taken, but lately it seems that the screen shots i was taking ended up differntly, it was not jpg, but something else. [i forgot the file type name, my apologies].

Same, basically you need some program to read or convert from TGA to whatever format you want to (JPG, PNG, etc.)

I believe ifran requires some sort of plugin.

In the description, just skip step 2 since it isn't the same game.
