Sega-Naomi

Hi All,



Basic setup, Arcade PSU > Capcom I/O > Naomi Mobo



Right, I set the system up to my plasma via the homemade supergun, and started playing Capcom Vs SNK with the lads. After about 1hr, got bored & decided to play DOA2. Another hour or so later, the lads went, and I decided to give Virtua Tennis a blast. 5 minutes into playing I/O error.



Now some may remember I had this I/O problem before, so I upped the +5 a bit & now no problems.



So my main question is...



Are some carts more power hungry than others? If so Why?



Cheers

i believe it depens on how much the program loads the naomi cpu, if it charges more the cpu, it takes more power. moreover some carts do have more roms than others, and these also require current to be read

MvC2 and VF4 Evo are 2 carts that also freeze if the 5v is too low



noticed its more apparent with Capcom I/O tho, and I have similar issues with one of the SFA3 CPS2 boards I own and a CPS3 kit I previously owned.



might be worth making a note of your voltages under load when they freeze

Games with lots of MSOP/OPR/MPR/Eproms require more juice.



I think Shootout Pool/Prize has the least number of mask roms for a Naomi, only 2! and 1 program eprom.

off topic - Andy, Lovin the sig & I pity tha fool that dont

Hi,



Thanks for the quick replies...



I may be wrong (don't have carts infront of me) but I think either DOA2 or CvS has more ROMS on it that VTennis.



Fuck Knows what's going on.



Cheers
