So without further ado, here's my board:
I had to start of small, so small this is all my arcade kit. The reason is mainly space and money, but one day in future I hope to get a Naomi Net cab snce they look so damn nice. My Naomi is actually darker IRL, the caasing is fading. The Naomi logo haqs gone a very dark colour underneath it, but it works and was cheap compared to other systemso I'm happy
To the side at the top is a 240V switch from a AT PC Power Supply which was doing nothing so I used that to switch the whole board on. Beside it is a small 5mm green LED from an old electronic game which I use as a main power light. To the side of that is a Type 1 I/O board. I don't know why many people get JAMMA boards, but I decided against it as in honesty I have no arcade cabs at all, and I didn't want to make a JAMMA loom. This I got for free since the inputs don't work properly, but the guy sent it me for absolutely nothing, so I'm not complaining about this either. Altough I do wanna buy something off him as a sort of thanks for that.
Below is a small wire clamp to hold the RCA Audio and VGA cable, nothing fancy. Bellow is a Mini-ITX 175W power supply I got for free from an old PC. Again it was laying around doing nothing, and I couln't see a reason not to use it. It has a 120-240VAC switch, set to 240V obviously
. The I/O board connects from a splitter into a disk drive connector while the Naomi connects to the ATX connector for all it's power needs. The LED is wired up to the JST-VL 6-Pin connector for my ease since the ATX connector is a bastard for wiring up over here. The wood is some old shelf that was doing nothing, but for my plans I'll need a bigger peice, this is too small.And that's about it. Unfortunatly I have no games to show off, like I said, this is all my arcade stuff on one small board. I am in the process of getting a Dimm board with a GD-ROM drive to use for it, but that's later on.
Anyway, there's my kit. It may be small but we all have to start somewhere small
The idea is to have one wood board for every system ideally, so then I only need to swap around the systems, hence why I'm trying to find a proper Naomi branded box, for storage and just to own the original stuff too. I'm hooked for life now arn't I?Anywy, I'll let you get on with you evening/day, it's getting late at the time of posting :smt015
