Not sure what changed but I updated BizHawk and now N64 ROMs display a black screen while audio plays just fine. I've tried every core, every display method combo, nothing fixes it. Not sure what else to do besides post here

What version of Windows are you using? I've talked to a few people with issues on Windows 7. Double check the Rice plugin as that seemed to work for them. You could also try the latest dev build and check Glide64MK2 as that also fixed the issue for them. Glide64Mk2 has a bug where it'll result in Bizhawk crashing a few seconds after the core is closed and a new core is loaded (or when you quit Bizhawk) but I wasn't having any issues during actual usage.

Windows 7. Nothing crashes I just only have a black screen. ROFL what the Rice plug in fixed it okay nice. It didn't before but now it does okay. I'll just praise "Complaining about it and finally asking for help fixes it for no reason"

Yeah there seems to be issues with most of the plugins on Windows 7. I don't have a Windows 7 machine so I can't test it on real hardware, but I was able to verify it in a VMWare VM when I was talking to others with the issue. (Virtualbox was crashing. I'm assuming that was just because Virtualbox's 3D acceleration is pretty shoddy)
