Working on an Exidy Venture PCB (version 5 set 1 or 2). No boot up error messages. Game plays fine. All sounds play fine. I'm having some color problems and I don't know where to start on this one. You don't even need to play the game, you can see the issue in attract mode. When you are in the main screen, and then go into one of rooms, the main screen goes away and the room you just entered expands on the screen and now you are viewing just the individual room (that has been expanded). My issue is if you look at MAME when you do this, the walls around you on the expanded room are purple. In my game the walls are yellow. I thought I was missing the color blue, but that is not the case. When you are looking at the text screens in attract mode in MAME, the words are generally white, with some words having a blue highlight. When the game is booting up, it says "stand by version 5". In MAME this is a light blue. On my game, it's white, and all the text is white, which is why I thought I was missing blue.
You can see a video of the issue here:

Also, very likely a main board issue as I have a second sound board doing the exact same thing.
Anyone have any ideas?
