I have a similar problem in that I have the latest version of Fargo 
and am unable to get a rom dump to work with Tiger.

My file starts with $00004400 and ends in lots of FF's and is 1meg in 
size. It works great when I load it in the emu92 emulator, but when I 
load it into Tiger it comes up and looks the same as the calculator 
does when I reset it. Hey no problem. Maybe the contrast is just turned 
up too high. I read the doc that accompanies tiger and it says that 
that diamond - would be the same as ctrl -. I have tried every 
combination of ctrl - I can think of (right and left ctrl, keypad and 
keyboard -, and with num lock on and off ) and still the contrast 
does not go down. I am pretty sure my rom dump is okay, since it 
works great with emu92. Why won't it work with tiger?

Tiger seems to be working to some degree, I am able to drop into the 
command mode and into the debugger. I just can't see the screen.

Any ideas?
