nationals1 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I just got a windows vista laptop and for some reason when I open the GENS emu the screen cuts in half any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamKneely Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I'm running Vista and it doesn't happen to me. Did you try to re-download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smozoma Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 try renaming or moving or deleting gens.cfg (the config file) and running the emulator again... might fix it. You'll have to re-create your gamepad settings, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nationals1 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) To: Smoz... there isn't even a .cfg file for me so that is kinda weird Cam kneely did you mean re download vista or the gens emu... cuz I tried to reload the gens emu which didnt work this is what happens... I click run and the right half of the screen goes pitch black and the left half has every thing on in just colour distortion and reallly skinny It worked the first time I ever tried it but not now Edited September 7, 2009 by nationals1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrodimus Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Np Possible, I haven;t tried that tho-I just keep it old school till i'm done playin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaftman Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yeah I had/have the same deal with gens. IF you right click your gens.exe > properties > compatibility You can set it to run with XP settings. I did this to most of my games so i can keep the vista high resolution but play my games with out funky colours or compatibility issues. It works for most things.

don16086 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Ya, easy solution, take your laptop, stick in your XP CD and install XP. Or use linux. Vista blows, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
