If it's a black screen with white dots on the side, then all you gotta do to start the game is press Space! Auren mentions there's a glitch where, if you begin the game with Enter instead of Space, it just stays there.
thanks! I think I was able to eventually get it to load. Might have been what you described but I can't remember. Thank you for explaining that though, makes more sense :)
Congrats on getting it to load, hahaha-- I don't think I EVER would've gotten it working if not for looking through these comments, so I just wanted to share. : )
