Please supply some more information about your setup, or else we can't help you. Are you running though HDMI or VGA? Are you using the scandoubler or other settings? Do you have sound?

I am on HDMI!
I have no sound
and I don't have access to the osd menu

my question actually is, if this game works for others?

I have the same issue.
I run through HDMI, and just end up getting a black screen when I try to load the core. Similarly unable to bring up the osd menu, and will have to do a hard reset to get back to the mister menu.

I'm gonna make a wild guess here, that both of you have "vsync_adjust=2" in your ini file.
Since the scramble core has a slightly weird refresh-rate, it's most likely not compatible with your TV/Monitor.

Please put this on the bottom of your ini file and reboot, and report back. This sets "vsync_adjust=1" just for scramble.

[scramble]
vsync_adjust=1

Also might be a good idea to test with "vsync_adjust=0" also, if "1" does not work.

Great :) Have a nice day!

As a final note on this issue, other titles from the same core may have similar behavior.

Example, if you look at the mra files here:
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Arcade- ... r/releases

Look for the "setname" value in the mra and make a new setting for each, like for scramble.
This value (in mra).

Code: Select all

 <setname>armorcar</setname>

yes I had this idea, but for the moment I preferred to set the vsync to 1 for all cores

That was the issue! Thanks for helping fix it!
