          So I deleted the video loading screen I had installed and the text has now gone but in its place I’m left with a blinking cursor. Does anyone know how to remove it? I’m going to try a different loading video to see whether it just didn’t like the video I had.

          But first let’s deal with the blinking cursor

            @Eyeball_36 I get something similar sometimes with n64 games. I'm not sure what was causing it but I have suspected the resolution changing from my default settings to the rom defined settings when launching a rom has something to do with it.

            Are the videos forcing the resolution to change? Also have you tried enabling/disabling dismpmax?
