Emulator problem

[Dragon_slayer]

Hi there

Iâ??ve been trying to set up this great front end the last two days, Iâ??ve been reading the posts on the forums and Iâ??ve got it working well. Mame is working perfectly, however Iâ??m having problem with the console emulators. So far I have two emulators set up in it zsnesw & VisualBoyAdvance. It was trial and error to get the frontend working with them but I finally did and now the front end starts up, when I go into the emulators part they are both there, as is box art, screenshots, etc. The problem Iâ??m having is that when I click on a game, the game starts up, I can hear the game music but the screen is black. If I use the emulator controls I can hear the game reacting to them (I can hear the game starting when I press enter, characters jumping when I press the jump button, etc.) I have this problem with both the emulators & with all the games Iâ??ve tried. I tested these emulators outside of the front end to make sure they were working & they work fine.

I would appreciate any help you can give me in this matter.

Thanks.

I think turning on show desktop in your gameex emulator config will make things work.

you can also try making sure the emulators are set to fullscreen, or at least launch to full screen upon loading a rom.
