It's where the arrow points to in this image; and also in all identical locations of the border all along that side. It pops out and back in continually during the animation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetboot Jack Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Annoyed me every time I played from the day I bought my original cart! I find it funny how something so visible to me is invisible to others - I guess we all have slightly different wiring in our brains 😛 And now it is gone 🙂 sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the load finishes, you just get a silent black screen. The only explanation is that XEX support is very basic. Did you test it using an ATR with menu for example? According to what I see in the emulator it should work without problems.

ACML Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 The SDRIVE loader has been around awhile and is pretty robust, so I feel there has to be something different about this XEX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the test I told you about to see if it loads from an ATR to rule things out. Some chargers have problems when an XEX uses 02E2-02E3 one or more than one for example. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SDRIVE has no problem loading previous XEX versions of Joust, so the issue is with this XEX file, not the SDRIVE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuel Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 On 2/1/2024 at 12:37 PM, ACML said: Any idea why this won't load with SDRIVE? It works fine with SIO2SD and Fujinet, but the XEX on SDRIVE will not execute. It loads, but goes to black screen and never starts. Can you try this XEX? It uses a simpler load sequence: joust.xex 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works great now on a SDRIVE loader. Thank you very much, again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
