So I swapped out my dmd that had some lines out for a known good one. With the new one in, the game won’t boot, and it sounds like there is a faint “chirping” noise coming from the dmd itself. If I swap back to the old dmd, game fires right up.
Any ideas folks? The only difference is the old dmd is a vishay Dale and the new one is just labeled as vishay...
This dmd worked in another Baywatch last week, as far as I know (I just acquired it); could there be a bad cap or something on the dmd itself?
I’m pretty sure the game can’t make it out of initial check, hence the repeated “chirping” from the dmd upon power up.
Reseated all the roms, and nothing.
Swapping back to the old dmd, and everything is fine...
Definitely a head scratcher for me.
