Smells fishy. I speculate your display problems were the result of you messing with a bootleg color display rig. The overly dramatic tone of your posts, a display problem, a bootleg chip..You lost me as soon as I read"no idea when they may get back to me" and you describing yourself as "feeling a little devastated at the moment". I hope you get your game going 100%, but I am sure glad I was not the distributor who sold it to you.
