Sega-Naomi

My Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper does not work on my Arcade Naomi.



I just got it in from ebay and when I put the disc in my Naomi board, it didn't work. It says something like "Board Does Not Read Game".



Well there is an issue here. I have two Naomi boards. One of them plays the American version of Marvel VS Capcom 2. While the other board plays the EUROPEAN version of Capcom VS SNK 2. I put the game in both of the motherboards, it didn't work either way.



Since my Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper is the Japanese version, I wonder if I do need a Japanese Naomi. Ya I know it sounds like common sense but I assumed Naomi motherboards are universal. If this is the case then I was wrong. I was planning to buy a third motherboard anyway I just want to make sure I get the right one.



So please Naomi owners out there please tell me why my Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper does not work. Thank you.

You need a Japanese Bios.

I'm a newbie. What are bios? Thank you.

BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. Think of it as the 'system software'. It is located underneath where you normally put the Naomi cart/Dimm module. It looks like this:







Look at the numbers on your BIOS and compare it to the ones on the Sega-Naomi main site--->BIOS List<---.



Also, please keep related questions to ONE post. There is no need to make a new post for every single question on the same subject. This is to keep the forums neat and clean. :smt023

Thank you. I apologize I won't do it again.



Can you give me a picture of where on the naomi the BIOS are located? So do you know where would I be able to get Japanese BIOS for my Naomi. If you can it would be nice if you could show me how to remove an old one and how to install a new one.



Thanks.

All your needs..

Thanks. You guys are the best.

segashed is highly recommanded!

Does anyone out there know if there is an ALL REGION BIOS? Like the BIOS allows you to play any game from any region? I'd like to be able to switch my Euro CVS2 with my Japanese SFZ3 Upper without having to change the motherboard.

no all region bios sorry, but starke sells multi biosed naomi's
