First-run gives a black screen

msayed1977 · 14 October 2010, 08:32

WinUAE 2.3 fails to start emulation (gives a black screen) for the first time of running. Then, starting from the second trial, it runs well afterwards.
I am sure about this bug.
PS:
I reported the same bug in WinUAE 2.3 Beta series thread, but I do not know why it was deleted.

It was probably deleted because it was completely useless report. I can only say "works fine here, buy a new pc".

Logs (winuaebootlog.txt and winuaelog.txt) from both non-working and working session needed.

Update your display drivers if you use D3D mode and have Nvidia card.

EDIT: if "second run" means completely shutting down and restarting winuae: it is not winuae problem, it is most likely display driver issue. Update it or re-enable directdraw mode.

I remember I saw only black screen when I forgot about Kickstart image.

Oke I have the same problem when i start the emulator on a different pc with a different vga card/sound card and different resolution.
I assume that your config is correct with the kickstart and harddisk.
I go to the display settings and set it to primary video card and i do the same with the audio(primary audio).
save the config and quit the amiga emulator.
I have the emulator installed on every computer i have(6) and it works fine!!!!!.
