black screen with street fighter ex3

i've tried this on all three of my partitions (win 2k, win me, red hat linux) and when i start the CD it brings up a black screen that i have to esc out of.
the bios runs fine (mem card, cd player).
this is the only game i own and it runs fine on ps2.

here is my linux shell output:
[[email protected] epsxe]$ ./start-epsxe.ksh
* Running ePSXe emulator version 1.6.0.
* Memory handlers init.
* ePSXe: PSX BIOS loaded [/home/schneidz/epsxe/bios/scph1001.bin].
* Init internal cdrom ... ok
* First/Last track: 1 1
* Track 1: (DATA) - Start 0: (00,02,00)

* Init gpu[0][libgpuPeopsSoftX.so.1.0.16]
* Open gpu[0]
* Init spu[0][libspuEternal.so.1.41]
* Open spu[0]

what else should i post to track the problem?
