Don't have that problem here, did you start it to a clean, nothing loaded, no startup-sequence shell?
I am testing it with 2MB and PRELOAD option and works just fine
(just shocked, what kinda game is this? No even the levels are like the original
)
There is indeed no intro music though, actually no music at all , only the punches sfx and stuff.
EDIT: I made it crash with garbage and black screen just like you described. Not sure what caused it though! It was working fine before. Weird.
