Help a newbie...

Post by OldFoo »

So I recently got a MVC2 arcade and have been having a good time playing the game and learning about the hardware. However, I was wondering if anyone could tell me some other NAOMI games I could play on my cabinet without a major overhaul. I'm assuming I could just change the carts out and play those with similar button configs but I am not sure at all. I figure I could play something like Powerstone and Zombie Revenge but not crazy taxi (no wheel) or House of the Dead 2 (no gun/sensor).



Also, How does the NAOMI 2/GD ROM fit into the scheme of things? Are they upgrades, successors, etc.?



Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Everything you need to know should be pretty well documented.



Yes, you can drop in other NAOMI 1 carts and play them. Some newer carts may require you put in an updated BIOS chip. It's a socketed BIOS and easily replaceable. Power Stone should be plug and play in your MVC2 cab.



The NAOMI 2 is a different motherboard. It is backwards compatible with NAOMI 1 cartridges.



The GD ROM addon has a DIMM board that goes in place of the cart. The DIMM board connects to the GD-ROM via a SCSI cable. This is a more advanced setup.
