Summary	04910: pce, tg16 [dslaylh, dslayedj]: No inputs and Black Screen
Description	After loading either the Japanese or USA version of: Dragon Slayer - Legend of Heroes ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Slayer:_The_Legend_of_Heroes ) Softlist shortnames: dslaylh (US) dslayedj (Japan) The game loads after the system card 3.0 (USA or Japanese works), and you can hear the games intro story play in audio but you only get a black screen, no inputs seem to be accepted and after the intro is done, all you get is a black screen and the emulator just hangs there indefinitely waiting for input after the dialog.
Steps To Reproduce	Since the default card is the Arcade Card - simply type the following to load from softlists: mess tg16 dslaylh or mess pce dslayedj
Additional Information	Although the actual game does not run, when using a System Card 2.0, the game does its normal "You must play this on system card 3.0" and has the graphics warning screen correct, but actual game when running a system card 3.0 does not work correctly.

Note to Original Poster - include short names from the softlists (located in your HASH folder per system) of any tested game when detailing what to do to start and/or duplicate the reported problem such as illustrated. Be concise but not overly wordy when describing the problem. Notice the Affected systems should only include the system/console that is involved, not the actual game which can be detailed in your description.
