I'm not even loading a rom - Im just booting the application. I expect to see the default blue screen that others show in the screenshots, but nothing is showing up - is this normal? Do I have to load something after opening up the app? I was going to just start messing with the assembler and running code through that.
have tried unchecking and checking Direct X Stretch, it made no difference.
I tried running in compatibility mode under different windows versions, but none made any difference, just loads with grey screen.
I tried using the previous 2.0 Beta 1 as well, but no dice. I am not sure what would be different, but I would like to just boot up the Amstrad OS and then use Show Assembler to start off some tutorials. Is there anything I am required to do in order to get to the OS? Why would I just boot up with a flat grey box?
EDIT:
It seems like this is isolated to my VM - I can get it running on a native windows install on a laptop, but not here on my Mac through VM. I tried changing the Graphics from non 3D Accelerated and to Graphics Controller: VMSVGA and this worked! No other settings changes required. Very odd!
Looks like I was able to further narrow it down to the 3d acceleration setting - toggle that off and it shows up properly. Fantastic!
