    Default Nestopia black screen when going fullscreen

    I don't know why but whenever I go fullscreen, the screen is black. This happens in all versions of Nestopia. This is my most favorite NES emulator and I can't imagine going to any other. Any idea why the screen goes black?

    Specs:

    ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo Motherboard
    Corsair 750 Watt Power Supply
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Processor 2.83GHz
    4 GB RAM
    Windows 10 Pro x64
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 555 [w/ Latest Gaming Drivers]
    ASUS Xonar DG PCI 5.1 Audio Card

    It could be colour bit setting and res settings preventing it from working

    Tried all that. I also tried everything under the Compatibility tab in Properties. Nothing seems to work.

    Are we talking about running in fullcreen or switching from windowed to full, the latter may have it's own issues

    There's an option as I recall for starting in fullscreen. Options-Preferences. Make sure autostart emulation is ticked too in the same menu area.

    Yup. Pretty much tried everything. Think it's a DirectX issue?

    are you using the original Nestopia or Nestopia UE (Undead Edition)?

    Give that a spin as see how it goes.
    THE BEST METHOD to run PSX games (and everything else for that matter) is via Retroarch - http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/
    If you have any questions on how to set it up on Windows please feel free to ask, its very easy.

    Nestopia UE does the same thing. I think the problem's my video card.

    Do you have the direct 9c update installed (It will fill in what is missing from newer versions of Direct X)

    It is also worth updating your display drivers
