I'm doing something wrong with background tiles

I've tried this in both Mesen and FCEUX.

If I open up the nametable viewer in either of those emulators, it's filled in with the default background tile (a starfield). The actual background in the game is appearing as plain black for some reason.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Enable the BG bit in your writes to PPUMASK ($2001).
