So I went to play some Sonic just a minute ago, so I open up Gens, load the rom, and this is what I'm greeted by: Doubled, side-by-side, incorrect palette. I first deleted the config file and opened it again, setting my preferred video settings, and nothing changed. Then I downloaded the program again, deleted the old Gens exe and config files, started up the new one, and... the same. I'm baffled. Any ideas?

The most previous time I used Gens this was not the case. And I haven't changed my display settings since I got this machine

On my computer, my screen flashes a bit before and after I open/close the program. I think what it does is change the graphics to 16-bit colour, so maybe your graphics card doesn't allow either the bit depth or the automatic switch.
I like my "thank you"s in monetary form.

Try setting your monitor to 16-bit manually before running Gens and see if that fixes it, or maybe to 32-bit if it's not already at that depth. (Also, if your monitor has 24-bit or 15-bit modes that might be confusing it depending on how aware of those modes Gens is.)

Did you drag the window size out your self by grabbing the corners of the window or something? I wonder because this happend to me on my girlfriends computer when doing that. When I came to a certein size it sort of flipped and got a double screen like that. It was resetted when I closed it down however. I was able to redo it over and over. Now I haven't checked for a while though. Perhaps I should do that so that I can bug report it?

:\ Yeah, for some reason, Gens wasn't resetting the color depth itself, like it used to. Setting it to 16 bit fixed the problem. Thanks everyone. But I gotta wonder why it started doing that when it never had this problem before.
