Hello, I seem to be having an issue with Sega genesis games in general, the sound plays normally, but no matter what I do the screen stays jet-black. I think it is an issue for only me, but I would really appreciate your help on this. The games I have tried so far are Phantasy Star III (id=16028) and Sonic Spinball (id=4841). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hopesword :   Try adjusting your screen resolution from 16 to 32 bit, do this by clicking the start button on your computer and type "screen resolution" in the little box, or you might change it a different way depending on your computer.

My monitor already seems to be in 32-bit, so that doesn't seem to be an issue. In addition, I can play game boy color/advance games just fine, the genesis is the first game system to black screen on me.

He was correct, he just had it backwards, lol. You'll have to set your monitor to 16 bit.

Thank you so much, it's kind of weird seeing my computer like this (it looks different 16-bit wise), but now I can see the game screen, thank you! Now I can play my old favorite game, and I can't repay you enough!
