I'm new to Naomi and arcade hardware in general and have a few questions that I was not able to find answers to in weeks of searching.
I bought a Dynamo showcase cabinet with Midway's Invasion installed and would like to also install my Naomi system in the same cabinet.
The Naomi came with Ninja Assault and the necessary PCBs, but no wiring. I want to be able to switch between the two games, but I need to know one thing before I go through a lot of work making custom harnesses for everything. Will Ninja Assault work with my monitor?
I have a 33" monitor with a sharp image board that says KTM-F 33. From searching it seems that this board can do both 15khz and 25khz - but you have to switch a connector on the board every time you switch modes.
In the Ninja Assault operator's manual, the wiring schematic shows a 31khz monitor. Will the game still work if I run it in 15khz mode?
If the answer is no, how do I go about getting a monitor that fits in my cab which will run both Invasion and Ninja Assault?
Is it possible to change out the boards on my existing monitor to one that will allow me to run 31khz?
I have a CRT projector in my theater which I also use for Mame/Final Burn. I guess I am spoiled by it since it will scan to pretty much any scanrate you give it anywhere in the range from 15-135 khz. My video card can't output 15khz, so I use the doubling feature in Final Burn to keep the pixels the correct shape. I don't like scanlines anyway and run my Genesis through a line doubler.
I'll continue to search for the answers, but any help is appreciated!

We might not be talking about the same cable.

Let us know how it works out. I still haven't gotten to making everything to test my Ninja Assault set yet. For sync only, it shouldn't matter unless there is a large source of interference near it, but the loop-through for the monitor will need higher quality.
I'm guessing you got this from the same seller I did, so keep the box it came in. The Naomi logo box is actually collectible on forums like these.
