Sounds like the first big mistake (tm) that I made. In the GsSPRITE
struct, have you set the r,g and b values to anything? If they are 0,
then the brightness of the sprite is set to BLACK, so you won't get
anything! Make sure you initialize those values to 128. If that's not
it, reply again.

Good luck,
Craig
