Emulator

if I remember right, someone in the forum said you have to switch the audio backend
to OpenAL for it to work...not sure though...and still worth an issue of course.

Hmm thanks, gonna try that (but still have to defeat Bowser all over =\ )

I just verified that even OpenAL gives black screen after defeating Bowser. Nothing
shows up, the only key working is HOME.

Try disabling Dual Core mode during the game. :)

OK, found a solution: Turn off HLE sound. When the credits start to roll, you can
turn it back on to hear the music.

Hmm, it didn`t work here.. Disabled HLE Sound and still froze at the black screen...

What settings r u using? DC? Idle Skipping? HLE the IPL? OGL? D3D? RE0 fix? EFB copy?

you have to disable HLE sound from the boot, that's all.

I have the same problem but AFTER the credits
