Sega-Naomi

As im not really interested in playing any of the games that require the naomi 2 (gd or cart) is there any point me getting one?



.....or am i missing the point?

The only reason to buy a Naomi 2 system is to play Naomi 2 games. Other than that, no other reason. N2 system plays N1 games with no difference.

I have one of each at the minute, and one GD setup.



I am planning on getting 2 cabs, and having one Horizontal, and the other vertical. Only thing I'm not sure of is to use the N1 for vertical with the GD, and then get a 3.17DIMM & GD for the N2 and keep it horizontal.



Are there any decent vert games on the N2 that may mean I should get another N2 (possibly a VF4:FT Kit)???

As far as I know, there are no vertical games for N2. Vertical games are generally 2D scrolling shooters

which the N1 is perfectly capable of doing. Also, all N2 games are 3D.

Castle 2 is the best N1 vert shoot em up IMO, price around ?120.

Cheers,



Looks like I need to get hold of a 3.17 Net-DIMM, and another GD Drive (oh, and the GD Compatible N1 Bios) then use the N1 for vert, and the new DIMM on the N2 so I can play FT!



Not seen Castle 2, but I absolutely love Ikaruga. Need to save some pennies for a good shopping spree in the new year.



Is there such a thing as the Arcade January sales???

If you have a .net dimm you can send it to me & I will flash it upto 3.17 for free.

I think VF4 is the only reason to have a Naomi2 instead of a Naomi1.

Unless you have a driving cab.

When I get one, I'll get in touch.
