Rendering Ranger R2 Black Screen

It looks like Rendering Ranger R2 gets a black screen after the Virgin logo. Anyone know if this is a known issue or if there's a fix for it?

I can confirm the game is currently broken. I also tried playing on the previous core and while it did initially load it hung with a black screen while playing the first level. I’m not sure who owns the SNES core but this game needs a deep dive IMO

Same issues here; hopefully this can be fixed at some point!

Sadly yes. SNES core needs some love.

Btw, as a temp workaround, a patch for the rom itself has been suggested, that you can download from the Github ticket mentioned above in this thread:
It did the trick for me, I was able to go past the initial logo screen and play through the first level without any noticeable issue.

This game pushes the limits of the SNES hard, who knows what kind of tricks Trenz used in order to make it run like it does.

This game still doesn’t work on SNES Core in August 2023.
It’s a shame because it’s graphically one the best looking SNES games.

Well, it doesn’t work if you use an unpatched rom, but if you apply the patch linked further up in the thread on github then it works fine. It’s not ideal, but you can definitely play the game on the core.
