Questions about Sega Naomi Universal Cab

Post by OldFoo »

Hi there,



i am new here and new in Sega Naomi.. i want to buy a Naomi Cab.. so i have a few Questions. Hope you can help here...



I want to buy a cab with the parts as you see on the pic below. I think it is a Sega TriForce with a GD Rom Drive



Is it possible to buy this cab and buy only a Naomi Mainboard and put it in the cab? Will the Naomi 1 work with this GD Rom Drive?



Regards

yes just would need to unplug the triforce out of the cab and then take the dimm out of it and fit it to a standard naomi mother board. only thing you would need to do is make sure that the naomi bios supports gd-rom as the early bios's dident.



i have a naomi universal cab and i run triforce naomi 1 and 2 and even namco system 246 as there all jvs systems.



you can also run chihiro and Taito type X2 as well as there also jvs systems.



the cabs are one of the nicest cabs i think to own as there are still parts avalible for them from sega and plenty of spares around.

Thanks for your Quick answer.. so the Power supply and all the other cables are pluged in the triforce are fitting in the Naomi?



So there is no need of a I/O Board or something? Its just all in my cab?

the IO board is fitted to the cab and is jvs standard which means under the control panel you have plugs for digital input with most games support and anolog as well for games like virtua striker 4, monkey ball, zombies revenge and baseball.



the power supply will be a standard 110v sun power supplie same as naomi.



all other cables will just plug in. hence why its called a univeral cab.



you can convert them to upright driver cab and shooting cab with the addition on the right control panels and bases ie a gun tower for shooters with sencor bezel and driver would need driving base and driving controls.



hope this helps feel free to ask.

Yes,



this helps a lot.. :)



So i only need the Naomi 1 Mainboard.



Do the Universal CAB have a Standart JAMMA Port?



So this is the cab i wanna buy....

No its not jamma compatiable unless your lucky that it has a tri sync monitor in it then all you will need is a river service jvs to jamma card and will then play jamma game with out -5v needed they can be modified to have the -5v and andygeezer sells them on his web site.



the joys of naomi was its a high rez screen running 31k were as standard jamma cabs run at 15k.
