Some really strange is happening for me. Almost all the time the core doesn't boot, hanging in a cyan screen and with a continous sound. Even reseting the core or reloading from the menu, continues the same problem.

The weird part is: after an off-on power cycle, sometimes (like 10% of time) it boots normal, I can play the games and still continues to work even after a reset, until another power cycle. (that it could lead to that cyan screen with countinous sound).

Looks like a ROM loading issue. Colecovision works perfectly?

Initial "ti994a.ROM"? I'm not sure, because I returned to Mist menu and try to re-load the core many times (I suppose the ROM is sent again each time). As I saw, if it doesn't work the first time, I need a power down to try again. Just returning to menu and reloading is not working. The fun fact is, If it loads, I can return to the Mist Menu and load again and it will work... It´s really weird.

Yes, Colecovision works without any problem with all the games.

Just an update, the new version still doesn't solve my issue. Almost all the time it turns on with a cyan screen and continuous beep but sometimes (rarely) it boots and works. No problem with the Colecovision or any other core.

Strange, now it has a different SDRAM controller.
Can you try it with an other SD Card?
If you load a cartridge via OSD when it's broken, is it still broken?

I notice the new SDRAM module, this is why I take a new shot on this.

No changes with another SD card. (Both are regular SD, 1gb and 2gb, no SDHC)

When I try to load a cartridge when hanged, still hanged, no change, even after I press reset button
