When I run most public domain roms. I just get a black screen. I'm running windows XP and Magic Engine 0.99 beta 4. They worked a while ago, but now they don't.

Strange indeed.

I tested many ROMs - including FlipIt, HuCnoid, Jamanoid, Phantasy Star Demo and Tetris - without any problem.

Win2k + ME 0.99b4

I've had problems like this, too. Not just with PD roms, but also various commercial games.

The problems go away completely when the roms are unZIPped. Weird.

Oh ok, I see... you guys should have told me that ROMs were zipped. Smile I use my own unzip code in MagicEngine and it doesn't support all the compression methods yet, so yes some ZIP files may not be loadable in MagicEngine. Embarassed
