Installed GDEMU but now I'm not getting a signal

NTSC V1 dreamcast with power converter worked with disc drive.
Followed this guide: https://retrogamesultra.com/2019/02/17/ ... and-setup/

Didn't get a signal with the gdemu (flashes red) and placed disc drive inside, also no picture.
Put the Ggdemu back in, and sometimes got the logo, but went back to no signal after logo.
I have used two different av cables.The disc drive says 3.3v
Cleaned the prongs of the power supply, no success.

I heard that you will still get a signal without a disc drive or gdemu installed. So it must be a video output problem right now? How do i proceed?

I don't know if it should affect the GDEMU from working or not, but I assume if it is incompatible with your version of the DC, the DC should work again if you put the disc drive back in. Perhaps test that. If the signal still doesn't appear when you put the disc drive back in then you know the problem is on the signal end and not the drive
