NullDC and Hyperspin - Games Launch but Black Screen and sound only

[delt31]

I know it's hyperspin b/c emu plays perfectly outside.  When I boot the game in hyperspin a popup window opens asking me to pick my game which I do and then the emu plays but I get only a black screen w/sound of the emu running and I must alt tab to get out.  

 

Seems like others have had this issue but due to the recent forums upgrade, none of the threads are accessible.  sweet.

 

I think this has something to do with the cfg file and the ahk I'm using.  anyone have any suggestions?

no one?  Seems like many had the same issue but unfortunately the old threads don't work anymore.

Why are you getting a popup menu to select a game?  Can you explain a bit further and also post your logs.

[delt31]

my nulldc config file is listed as defaultload of 0 meaning when I launch nulldc (even outside of hyperspin), the blue null dc program screen is there and a window pops up asking me to pick the game/image, putting my default or last image in the selection box but I need to confirm before it loads.

 

I can change the value to 1 in the cfg and that pop up won't happen so that's not really the issue.  It's when I load nulldc through hyperspin, I'm taken to a black screen where the audio will play but no video (or if default load is set to 0, black screen with the option to select the game and then when I do, audio no pic still black). Its like nulldc is plying in the background but b/c I opened it using hyperspin there is an overlap and I can't see the video.  If I play nulldc outside of hyperspin, the emu works np (even with nulldc .cfg set to 0 or 1).  no issue. I think something in my ahk needs to be updated. 

 

The answer is def out there I just can't see the posts from the other threads anymore.  Anyway to see those?

found the solution - these settings worked for me in the ahk (for those that need this going forward since these boards are F'd considering old topics aren't visible).

Thanks Delt31. This is just what I needed.
