    Question Can't run Silver on nullDC.

    Hey yo, new guy here...
    So I was trying to run Silver on nullDC, it just ends with a black screen.
    All the other intros work, but when it comes to the Intro Movie of the game it's just a black screen... :/
    I have the latest stable version of nullDC (at least the one listed here in a sticky on Sega Systems)

    Sorry if this issue has allready been brought up... ^^'

    PAL scene release version fails (log window will repeat the same error over and over)
    NTSC version from the scene releases is not selfboot (I have had this selfbootable in the past, so i may be able to convert that again)
    I have yet to test the ReviveDC version as I don't have it

    P.S. sorry for the late reply I just had not the time to do any testing, I also don't emulate this system for playing anyway as I own a Dreamcast (Un-modded as you don't need to mod most Dreamcast models to be able to play from CD-R)

    I'd be surprised if the ReviveDC release doesn't work.
    Pretty sure they get tested on real hardware and emu'd I guess the worse case scenario would be the release works fine with hardware and there's a note in the NFO about it not being emu compatible.
    Virtually all NTSC releases, but I think they've being doing some PAL compatibility patching (or something) recently.

    I would be supprised if it does work this is a NullDC thread not a real hardware thread, it's far from perfect emulation though good for the most part

    The only reason i don't have this is because I'm missing a bunch of releases because I have yet to find a torrent with them in or a good server with them (between 20 ish and 90ish I'm missing possibly some of there newer releases)

    Yeah, that was a silly thing for me to say I guess should've said if any dump of this game has a chance of working in NullDC then the ReviveDC release is probably the best bet.

    Silly had to go advanced just to type

    Anyway tested the RDC version and that one boots all the way to the Press Start screen though I never actually started a game as I have a pad setup but not plugged in so couldn't start a new game anyway
