Black screen of terribleness. (BSOT.)

[Flotonic]

I've finally got back into my whole tearing a N64 rom out of a GCN game thing. (I can spare everyone that story.) It came to my shock that when I tried to load Animal Crossing in Dolphin, I saw the red Nintendo logo, but from after that and onwards is just a black screen. The music still plays, so I'm assuming that the game is still running. I have tried all of the graphics plugins that come packaged with the emulator and I still have no luck. My graphics card is nVidia, if that isn't something to cause a huge problem.

Is there a topic available that shows recommended settings so as to avoid said problem (and other problems)? Thanks in advance for any support that I can get!

Custom robo gives a similar issue for me, but with lack of sound

Try revision 5016.

Also we can't help you until we know your os, settings, specs, and what revision you're using.

Ahh. In that case, then, I was running Revision 6818. 5016 gives me the same problem, though. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit (6.1, Built 7600) is what I have for my operating system. 3072 MB is for my ram. The settings that I'm using for the emulator are the default ones. I've tested this with a different file and it runs it without the black screen (even though accompanied by a slow frame-rate).

Update!

Upon closer inspection, the bottom row of pixels can be seen during emulation (seen in the left side of the image). I looked further into this and enabled wireframe mode (seen in the right side of the image) to find that the models can now be seen. This will still hinder a few things, so I continue to look for a fix for this. Here is said image:

As strange as it sounds, this is caused by the DSP. What are your dsp settings like? Tick all the boxes in either plugin and it should work fine.
p.s. - The options have to be enabled before boot, once it has booted, you can turn off those options if you really want.

With all DSP check-boxes checked or not, I still get this error.
