Quoted from Dmod:DE/Sega controller boards have a minor difference in data signalling compared to later Stern boards. Rottendog's signal timing matches the earlier DE/Sega boards while the color ROMs for Stern Whitestar games expect the Stern timing.
The difference is not normally visible, but alters the tags computed by the ColorDMD such that they deviate from expected values. As a result frames are not recognized, and are displayed with the default color.
The same problem results if you use an original DE/Sega DMD controller in a Stern Whitestar game.
There is no compatibility problem when the Rottendog board is used in a DE/Sega game.
Here is the tread from a year ago that I was talking about. I guess my ColorDMD is newer (installed about 18 months ago) so it will work. Anyway to check the ROM version on the ColorDMD to be sure?
