Hello, sorry to resurrect an old topic but I find a solution to my issue, and I want to leave a post in case anyone else also have the problem with a black screen when using Utopia and NTSC-J games. (In my case it was Dead Or alive 2 and Guilty Gear X)

The issue was the VGA cable: I couldnt use because I wouldnt receive any image. I tried another VGA cable and experience the same. It worked fine with regular games but fi i used Utopia to load games from other regions, it wouldnt work. Now I switched to a new Scart I managed to finally get, and it worked just fine, no issues at all.

 

So thats the solution: use a Scart cable instead of a VGA when using Utopia to load games

Yes, I can modify stuff and look at the menu too. I was playing with some settings (and then return it to default) but can get an image

On the boot loader it appears

AV3_RGBHV 525-i

15.73kHz 59.94Hz

when I load Dead Or Alive 2 it changes to:

AV3_RGBHV 525-p

31.46kHz 59.94Hz

 

which is exactly the same stuff it shows when I’m playing other NTSC/U games

I first try it with my boot loader (Utopia) to bypass the region lock, that shows a black screen, then I loaded Dead or Alive 2 (legit btw) that keeps the black screen. Because DOA is not my only NTSC/J game I also tried Guilty Gear X (also a legit copy, to avoid any discussion about piracy) and it also give me a black screen.

Before I used my OSSC i didn’t have any problem with both games.
