Final Fantasy V RPGe v1.10 Black Screen

[orbea]

When starting the Final Fantasy V RPGe v1.10 translation from romhacking.net the game fails to boot with a black screen.

The md5sum of the original Japanese rom and patched rom are.

ffb920c18410064993d9767c066d3dd7  Final Fantasy V (RPGe v1.10).sfc

And I have an older version of the patch which does work.

Can anyone check if this translation works on real hardware?

Released in 1998, huh? Fair chance it might not actually work.

Released in 1998, huh?

The page says it was last modified on 10 March 2016, is that when the v1.10 patch came out? The older version v1.1 does work on bsnes though, but I'm not sure when that one came out.

Edit: The readme.txt actually says.

ZSNES was only a year old by then. I stand by my first post.

I tested on a real Japanese SFC using the FXPAK PRO and confirmed the same behavior as in bsnes, the v1.1 rom works while the v1.10 rom just has a blackscreen. I guess its an issue in the patch or something went wrong when I patched it, I'll close this issue.
