Only black screen in WinUAE 2.3.0

Predseda · 30 December 2010, 21:25

I start WinUAE and I only get black screen instead of kickstart screen. WinUAE 2.3.0. It wanted me to update DirectX runtime, which I did. I have Kickstart ROMs which work to my pal, also if I try to rescan ROMs, it says available for all Amiga types. But I get just a black screen and nothing else, even with ADF inserted or not inserted. It seems to boot, though, those track numbers at the bottom of the screen are changing after I insert any ADF. What I have set up wrong?

I remember same problem after connecting external/second monitor. Everything was ok after reinstalling display drivers.

Switch to 'DirectDraw' graphics API on the miscellaneous panel and see if the KS screen appears. Switch back to Direct3D and see if it's fixed. I think that it was already fixed in the beta, so using that should also fix the problem.

Yo! Thank you! It now displays the picture in DirectDraw mode. Switching back to Direct3D brings the black screen back. But it works, thank you.
