Describe the issue.

Perhaps I did something wrong, but flashing my 3-Alter with the latest update (13.1) results in a black screen. The Arduino still lights up, but otherwise, the device is unresponsive to the point of receiving no feedback from the serial monitor. If this issue is more appropriate for the discussions forum, let me know and I'll move it there.

What options did you change in Config.h?

[DrAzathoth]

I set it to HW3 and commented out the NES and SMS cores that were automatically enabled.

I can attach that file for reference if you want.

Did you enable the clock generator or RTC (if you have them)? I know if you enable RTC and don't have it the display will remain blank.

I did not enable either because it said it would automatically be enabled for HW3. Just in case, I tried enabling both right now and the screen is still black.

I resolved the issue. By default, a sample sketch was loaded by the program rather than the OSCR sketch. By loading the correct sketch I was able to flash the update without issue.
