Hi

When i try and run this in DOS i seem to get a kinda garbled screen! Well i see a little bit at the top and the rest of the screen is blank! When i try and launch a game i know its running cos i can hear the sound! But barely no video! Can anyone explain?! :-?

Regards

More details are required. What version of DOS are you using, and what sort of video hardware does the computer have? Are you using the last version of Genecyst?

(Of course Genecyst is entirely inferior to any number of other Genesis emulators currently available, but that's a separate point.)

Do you mean you're trying to run it while Windows 95 is running, or have you restarted in MS-DOS mode?

Oh. This is because it started in a video mode out of your monitor's bounds

I believe one of the function keys also change resolutions
