Title: Black screen in WinAPE 2.0b2
Post by: Christoph29 on 04:30, 18 March 17
Hi all,


I'm new to the forum, and new to WinApe. On my last laptop I used to Caprice32 to emulate the CPC464, but I can't seem to make it work on my new (Windows 10 Home) laptop.


I've downloaded WinApe, but whenever I open the program I'm just getting a black screen. Does anyone know of a fix for this? I've got to say, I'm hopeless with emulators, pretty much with computers in general, so you may need to really spell this out for me!  :o


Cheers,
Chris

Did you check your configuration? Are the ROMs all there?

It could be a graphics problem.
I've just tested it on a win10 VM and it works ok for me.
Try disabling 'Direct X stretch' in the display settings, also see if Full screen mode works (Press F10)

If your roms are in the wrong place, winape should be popping up an error message - As Gryzor said, that will give you a black screen, when you extracted the files, some of them should be in a ROM folder
