Daphne black screen

[stigt]

Hi all, been gone for a while, but I'm back toying with GameEx and emulators. I have a brand new lapop with Windows 7 x64, and it is a lot of fun to get all the emulators running again under GameEx.

I had Daphne running nicely under GameEx on my previous notebook with windows XP. I copied the settings to my new notebook, but I can't get Daphne to load. When I use Daphneloader there are no problems, every game works OK.

When I try to start Daphne with GameEx I hear all the sounds, but I get a black screen. Normally this points to an issue with "Show Desktop", but there is no such option with Daphne.

My current Daphne config is as follows:

[Daphne]

      UseDaphne=True
      DaphnePath=D:\Emulation\Daphne
      DaphneExe=Daphne.exe
      DaphneSnap=D:\Emulation\Daphne\Artwork\screenshot

I'm pretty sure I am overlooking a simple thing, does anybody have any idea what that might be?

You can try changing "DaphneOptions=vldp -fullscreen -x 640 -y 480 -nohwaccel"

To the same resolution as you are running your desktop at. Or remove the -nohwaccel

As I thought...an easily solved issue. Removing the -nohwaccell option cured it. Thanks Brian...

Aaah..it's good to be back

Greetings,
