    Man, those RingEdge/RingWide discs are awesome with the logo on them. Clever use of it I must say. But I though that RingEdge/Wides used HDD's for game data?...Maybe these are just installation discs :P I mean, the board is a goddamn x86/x64 computer after all :P

    Nah, I just found random pictures which searching on ebay - I don't own a Chihiro board.

    I don't think it's a mini-DVD, I think the disc pattern creates an optical illusion that it's small.

    I thought both lindbergh and ringedge/wide used HDDs/SSHDs too, didn't know it was possible to install from optical media.

    Cross Post from pick-up thread.

    Akatsuki Blitzkampf Ausf.Asche for Naomi. I'm really enjoying this. Simple mechanics, interesting style - not bad at all. Oh, and the giant skull tank is hilarious.

    Toy Fighter for Naomi. Why this never got a dreamcast port I'll never know.


    I'm close to finishing off my Naomi collection based on exclusives not available on Dreamcast, still need:

    Azumanga Daioh Puzzle Bobble
    Noumiso Konekone Puzzle Takoron (aka Octomania)
    Dynamite Deka EX - Asian Dynamite
    Kuru Kuru Chameleon
    Slashout
    Spikers Battle
    Jingi Storm
    VF4 Evo
    Beach Spikers
    Dead or Alive 2000

    I'll grab Initial D but not sure if I can rig up a wheel and pedals. If I do, I'll gab Jumbo Safari as well.
    And I might pick up Ikaruga for good measure because it's awesome.

    Is a bare Naomi board for 40€ a good deal?

    That's about right, they usually go for about $100. Be prepared to spend about another $300 to $500 to actually get it to work though, depending on how much arcade/jamma parts you have lying around.

    Well, I got none.

    Thanks for the answer.
