I'm considering the possibilities of building a VO rig but I have a few questions, if anyone could help please?
How easy are the Naomi carts to obtain, and what sort of price do they fetch? I assume the joysticks interface via the 26pin connector found on Sega I/O boards? Is it just a standard Sega [non-]Jamma I/O, or would I require a specific model / revision? What joysticks can I actually use? I was looking at what
Happ has to offer and
this one seems the closest. Does anyone possibly have the Sega part no.s of the actual VO sticks and a rough idea of cost?
I'm sorry for asking so many questions, and I really appreciate any help.

Very rare and expensive as you will need the dedicated panel.

So the joysticks connect via the Jamma harness? Is Sega the only source of these digital VO joysticks then?

CP Might be difficult to make.
You have two 4-way joysticks that both rotate Left-Right.

I think I paid about $250 for the panel and $300 for the cartaige.
So even if you make panel plan on spending about $300 for the cart.
(Unless you get lucky)

so they go UDLR and they're twisty?

They're easy to make with the right components.

Yep, UDLR and Twisty and a fire button.
You're probably right... easy to make with the right components.
By the time it was all said and done I figured my time was worth more than the cost too make one.
Plus the original is a collectors item.
BTW I really like your avitar (The girl with the springy SEGA logo)
