Anyone getting just a black screen for Alcon after the last update that had slapfight and Tiger Heli? Alcon loaded fine until I updated this morning.

No black screen for me on HDMI 1080p but yesterday update was before Tiger Heli. I just noticed that the core and mras (except Alcon) have been updated 5 hours ago.
I will run update and report back.

Update done and Alcon gives a black screen but the sound is here. One thing to note is that Tiger Heli has been added, Slap Flight mra has been updated but Alcon mra has not been updated.

Slap fight gives me a missing file error, edit: same as alcon.

For me Slap Flight and Tiger Heli are OK but still with the top of the screen messed up.
How did you get your Alcon.zip?
I would delete it and run update all again.

Ok, i got it from update all, works for some folks and not others. Cant understand why that would be the case but it is.

Same for me, I just tested it as I hadn't updated yet. Alcon worked before the update (as well as Slapfight) and after the update just Slapfight works (but the graphic corruption at the top of the screen is gone). When launching Alcon I get a black screen and sound. It is no sync issue as I can pull up the core menu just fine.
Apart from the title screen are there any differences between Alcon and Slapfight? I only knew this game under Slapfight because of the 8-Bit computer conversions.

From Github: Alcon MRA (This is a simple ROM swap of the foreground characters).

Note: The core has been updated 2 hours ago but not Alcon.mra.
I cannot test at this time.

No guaranty, you get what you paid for.

I just updated the ALCON MRA. I included the colour ROMs as part of the MRA, so the old MRAs will display a black screen. This was needed as Tiger Heli uses a different color palette.

Alcon is just a swap of graphics used in the title screen sequence, it is otherwise identical.
