Winuae doesn't want to start sometimes

apachacha · 31 December 2011, 21:50

I've run across this odd issue of Winuae not realy wanting to work for a bit. I open the program, load a configuration, select a disk and start and the screen's just black and nothing happens. I get it to work after a while, but I have no idea why the hell it's doing this. Anyone ?

Sorry, despite the strange problems I had with WinUAE before, common with this kind of software, I never had problems of black screen, well at least until now, nobody knows...

Maybe someone more can help you...

I found out that running a game without loading a configuration works. After that I can load the configuration and pick any game like normal.

It's just weird that this happened. Could this be a result of leaving Winuae on while letting the computer go to standby ?

Can't help without log file. Tick logging checkbox in misc panel, start, wait few seconds after black screen, quit it. I assume F12 still works.

Yeah, it does. Anyways it seems to work with the method I described above. Not sure why but at least it works.

I can't understand why you would ask for help, then when Toni offers to help you, you turn him down? All you have to do is post your log file.

I'm not turning anyone down. Just that once the thing works I have to turn off my computer to get it not work again. And I was a bit pre-ocupied.
