Summary	05896: HLSL screenshot split in 4
Description	taking a rendered with HLSL screenshot splits the image in 4 split corner picture files.
Steps To Reproduce	run mame with hlsl on, take rendered screenshot. => 4 files representing each corner of the original picture, instead of one single file
Additional Information	At least, it's trivial to auto-merge with ImageMagick: convert ( %1_0.png %1_1.png +append ) ( %1_2.png %1_3.png +append ) -append %1-merged.png
