Installed the unit with no issues and was playing CVS2/Spawn/Marvel 2 perfectly.
However after running Gauntlet Legends which is a non-VGA game, my tv began to flicker with black until I didn't have a signal any longer. After this incident, my video never displayed again. I tried multiple TVs and even went back to my VGA box and still nothing.
I attempted the L Trigger+Down+Start command but still nothing. Did I short something? I may have had force VGA on which is likely the cause of this issue.
Update 1 11/2: I tried multiple TVs and finally got it to work with a VGA box (Gekko) in composite mode. Signal was dirty/pinkish but I wasn't able to bring up the DCHDMI menu. Getting the composite signal to work is not consistent.
Update 2 11/2: Tested it with composite cables and only got sound. Black screen but audio was working. Tried L+R+Y+B+Start and nothing. Tried booting the console while hold up and down and nothing.
Update 3 11/3: Could not get it to work with my Gekko in RGB mode like before. Clearly the dreamcast is running as I see the GDEMU icon on my VMU and everything is booting. Possible that a fuse got blown? This is definitely more stressful than I hoped, maybe Gauntlet Legends really didn't want me to own a DCDigital.
Update 4 11/3: Tried the blind controller input to get back to 1080p mode from Dans video. Still no luck. Any reason my DCDigital menu would stop working when in RGB mode? I can still hear audio from composite cables but no picture. Starting to think I have a bridge someone on the SYNC side of the video IC.
Very disheartening. Especially after making a celebratory Twitter post when it was working. Added a picture below on when it was working before running Gauntlet.
