Putting NAOMI+GDROM in an Astro City

Hi there,

I'm thinking about buying an astro city cab on offer... but I'm wondering if there is anything I should know before hand in regards to getting it ready for NAOMI.

Right now I assume I need the following:

NAOMI-BD

Dimm Board

GD-ROM

Sega PSU

Capcom IO

Do I need the IO board or any other kind of funky/special wiring in order to get things rolling? (Like things terminated with special AMP connectors....)

The cabinet has a trisync with VGA in.. so that shouldn't be an issue either.

Also, about 6 button support... should the cabinet be wired up for a kick harness or is there a better way to have it done?

Thanks :)

Yup, looks about right. Although, if you want true stereo sound then you will need that RCA to AMP connector that ECL sells. If you have the capcom IO then having a kick harness is a must for those 4+ button games.

I just recently crammed my naomi gd setup into my new astro and boy was that a tight fit!

I'm not too worried about audio because I have all of my cabs hooked into a stereo reciever in my office... so worst case I have it on my big speakers directly from the BD instead of the cab

How did you lay the components out on the wood board in the cab?

Would you mind taking a few pics of it so I can get an idea what I'm up against?

Also.. how did you mount the gdrom inside of it?

Thanks

I mounted the gd drive on its side; i.e. i made an L-shape bracket and screwed it onto that. Ill have some pics up soon.
