Sega-Naomi

Okay, I'm getting ready to get a JP Net City cabinet, and I believe that it should be all ready to plug in a Naomi setup and play.



However, I just want to know exactly what I need (kind of a grocery list) to make this happen.



Before anyone says, "Please refer to the FAQ section", I've already read it.



It's mostly geared towards using the setup in a JAMMA cabinet, which shouldn't be the case if I'm using a JP Net City cabinet.



SO, here's what I think I'll need (based on wanting a Naomi 2 GD rom set up.)



Please let me know if I'm missing anything:



Naomi 2 mobo

DIMM board (preferably 3.17)

GD Rom reader

SCSI cable

I/O board

USB cable

Video cable (don't know the exact name)



Here's where I need help.



If anyone can post a pic of what the complete setup looks like, it would help for sure. I know I'm missing some things here - do I need a PSU if the cabinet has one? How would I connect it?



Is there any advantage to using the Capcom I/O if I'm not going to use it in a JAMMA cabinet?



Pics of the connection to a Net City or Uni cabinet would do wonders - if there's a link to a thread with them, that would be great.



Of course, if anyone can help complete my "grocery list", that would be great as well.



Thanks,

Steve

It depends largely on the completeness of the cab you're buying - from the factory they have a LOT of cables and connectors..



I/O board, audio AMP, power supply, usb(jvs) cable, cables between CP and I/O board, remote board for monitor etc etc etc, should all be installed when you buy it. When you open the base where you put your Naomi, you should be presented with:



1) 1x8 pin JST power connector

2) 1x6 pin JST power connector

3) 2xRCA connectors to audio amp

4) 1xVGA cable to monitor



If you get a complete cabinet, all you need is an extra cable to power the GD-ROM, like this:

My suggestion would be to get the person that is selling the Net City Cabinet to add a NAOMI 1 MB and a simple game like Virtua Tennis.



Use is as leverage. If you are getting it from where I think you are getting it there price is high and they can certainly throw in a NAOMI MB and a game and make sure all the cables, power supplies, I/O boards, etc etc, are there and that the system work as a whole.



You can add a DIMM and GD-ROM later very easily.

(as well as swap out NAOMI 1 MB for NAOMI 2 MB.)



No reason you should need to figure this out for the price I think you are paying.



Just a thought.

Thanks for the info - here's hoping!

Great point Bob - and yes, you would be correct...



Hope he agrees.
