Road Rash Sega CD Blue Screen Of Death!

LOL I couldn't believe it when it happened. I booted up Road Rash for the Sega CD and got a blue screen of death!

It was just a blue screen with the word "placeholder".

Well it didn't take too long of tinkering to figure out it was a backup ram issue. I deleted some files and it booted fine. I surfed the web and apparently it's a well known design flaw. The game won't boot unless you have sufficient free space in your backup ram. Luckily I have a back-up ram cart.

Huh, you'd think that would have been caught during certification testing.
