I had Gens on my brother's computer and it worked fine. I got it on my computer and this happens. The screenshot isn't exactly the same as when I'm using the emulator. The game is "moved" to the right and there is a black area on the left. I can't see some of the right side of the screen.

Right click on your desktop, and click "properties". in the 'settings' tab, what is the number of bits in the "color quality" menu bar?

Change the render mode to one that can be selected. I'm unsure if this was fixed in a later version, but selecting a 16-bit render mode then switching to 32-bit causes Gens to try and render using that 16-bit mode (or possibly vice-versa)

It was at "High (24 bit)". I changed it to 16 bit and it works fine now. Probelm solved.

Gens supports 16 and 32 bit modes. I thought 32-bit support would extend to 24-bits, but appearantly I was mistaken. At least now I know for sure.
