So the fullscreen works, but now window (no border) well that's a bit unexpected. Can you describe the details please? Is the sound playing?

Also can you check your window.am file and see if the size matches the display resolution. If it does try changing it to smaller and try again

If this is what I think it is then it's easy to fix.
There are 2 issues that contribute to this problem with Window (no border) showing black screen:
1. When the values in window.am are position 0,0 and size (your display resolution) windows treats it as exclusive fullscreen, but AM still thinks it's windowed.
2. There is a bug that causes the window.am values being overridden by previously selected window mode (fullscreen and fillscreen) this should change only when you adjust in Window mode using a mouse.

I can push this final commit, after you confirm it works when you:
1. Set window mode to No Border.
2. Exit AM
3. Adjust size in window.am to be less than your display resolution
4. Relaunch AM and try playing game

Worked!

Window mode (no border) actually set the screen larger than my display but when I edited the window.am file to a smaller screen size it worked as it is meant to.

My screen size is set at 1280 x 768

Window mode (no border) sets it to 1282 x 770.
and the position changes from (position -0,-0) to (position -1,-1) in Window mode (no border)

Hope that all helps...

Yup I had a small miss configuration. After fixing it, everything works great now.

I can show my config files if that helps you out...

Tried a new emulator, PinballFx2. After several tests with rocketlauncher and bezel, with the old version black screen, with the new version all is ok

My god! My problems are all gone with new commit of you oomek. Thank you so much.

No hang or blackscreen. Finally in Fullscreen Mode, smooth animations work. Was very sloppy in windowed mode. Now i can use my Themes with Attractmode. Without that i didn't use AM at all.

- tested x64
- Win10
- integrated gfx.
