The first universal cab game was Zombie Revenge, which was sold as Analogue, obviously Sega where going to-do more games, but the price of the joystick ment it was too expensive for operators to replace.


Hi, there any possibility to adapt analog game to digital or digital to analog.......for example with an analog to digital convereter or something like that......???

What I don't understand is why the naomi I/O works with analog joystick and digital too but not with all game????Maybe the I/O is not a convereter but reads differnt imput and left them like that......

I would like to play with analog and digital game...

Technically speaking, the analog and digital inputs are on different ports. For example, let's say you have an early style analog pc joystick that connects to the game/midi port on the pc's back panel and a newer USB joystick. The software would monitor and interact with the joystick you choose and ignore the other. The same thing applies with the Naomi. A game that only uses digital controls will ignore the analog inputs because that's the way the game was programmed. :smt024
