If it's the same version of the emulator that runs BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, it's been leaked for at least a year and a half :P
No, that's just a casemod of the still-relatively-ugly Atomiswave case. I am referring to replacing the case entirely with a more aesthetically appealing one.
Goddamnit guys, I always wanted to get stuff like Consolized Atomiswaves but after the hurdles it took just to get a Supergun (and not even a really good model one at that) and a NeoGeo 2-slot, I figured I diid all I could.
Famicom was pretty ugly too. Not as ugly as the NES, but still pretty bad. That red wouldn't work in an entertainment center- it'd clash with the rest of the stuff under your TV. /boringAftiisboring
Once upon a time red was the third most common colour for computers... in Japan. Might still be. I don't really pay attention. The prime example Sharp X1. Or if you want to keep things Sega, there's red SC-3000 models. But I do think the Atmoswave is too red for my tastes. But then again, standard GameCubes are purple. Technology isn't just black and white.
Wait, what? Why would you need an emulator for Taito Type X2 games? I had Arcana Heart 3 running on my PC just fine without any emulation, just a modified EXE... Granted, that's not an X2 game, but it's all based on XP Embedded anyway so it ought to work with a little hacking if necessary...
Raw Thrills tends to use PC-based hardware, like pretty much everyone else. They're pretty much the most prominent US arcade developer, and many of their games blow chunks (note that H2Overdrive is an important exception).
Anyone know any decent arcade parts distributors for either the UK or Australia? Google isn't being very helpful. I need a NAOMI 2 + GD Rom Drive compatible power supply unit. I can find US 110V PSUs relatively cheaply, but I'd rather get a 240V one to avoid the hassle of a step down transformer.
Sega Total Solutions (UK) may offer you a deal, but they're on the expensive side. Other than that, I'm pretty poor on sourcing parts, but I can certainly ask around.
Slowly building up my NAOMI 2 piece by piece. I have the mobo and DIMM unit, and have a GD drive and PSU on the way (settled for an American one, although still on the lookout for 240V). I've also sourced Senko no ronde, Radilgy noir and hopefully Exzeal if the distributor gets back to me. The biggest issue is going to be a controller of some description. I was hoping to save money and avoid using a JAMMA I/O converter and/or a supergun, but I don't think I'm technically proficient enough to weave my own loom.
Compact Flash Conversion kit Does anyone have any further info about these? I take it replaces the GD-rom system now that they are not manufacturing GDs, but what's the point? Were GDs particularly faulty? I know the dreamcast one's used to play up a bit, but surely in the arcades where they are only read once on start-up it wouldn't be an issue of wear and tear. Unless they are still planning to support brand new releases for NAOMI, Chihiro and or TriForce on compact flash media?
They're definitely not, the conversion kit appears to be a fully unofficial product. Regardless of the reduced wear and tear on GD-ROM drives due to the way they operate, the drives are now becoming harder to maintain as official support has ended and the supply of parts is drying up. This is here for anyone who wants to run these games for a long time to come.
Cross post with june pick up thread. Got both Senko no Ronde and Senko no Ronde NEW VER. (Rev.A) for $150. I only thought I was getting the original, didn't realise I was getting Rev.A as well. Now to finish building up my NAOMI 2 so I can actually play it.
It's alive, ALIVE! I have my NAOMI 2 powered on and I can see the splash screen. I need an up-to-date BIOS to play the games, and I'm slowly getting together a jamma interface and control panel so I can actually play them. Will post pictures when my baby is complete and working. Now to sort out my games list. So far I have: Senko no Ronde Senko no Ronde New Ver Psyvariar 2: The will to fabricate (already have on Dreamcast, but got it cheap) Radirgy Noa/Radilgy Noir Exzeal / Shooting Love 2007 (<3 This is basically what I bought a NAOMI for <3) But what should be on my wish list? I have an extensive and near complete Dreamcast collection, so I'm mostly interested in stuff that never got a Dreamcast port Dead or Alive 2 Millennium - Is this any different to the Dreamcast port? Dynamite Deka EX: Asian Dynamite - A must buy Illmatic Envelope (aka Illvelo) - I love my shmups, although this hasn't appeared to have really entered the 2nd hand market yet Melty Blood: Act Cadenza Melty Blood: Act Cadenza Ver B - I should be right to just get Ver B, there's no real reason to get Ver A, right? Melty Blood: Actress Again - And this is too new to find on the second hand market. Sega Strike Fighter - Unfortunately, I think I need an analogue yoke stick for this one, which may prove difficult. Azumanga Daioh Puzzle Bobble - A must buy, but rare and expensive Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival Guilty Gear XX#Reload Guilty Gear XX Slash Guilty Gear XX Accent Core - now these confuse me a little, it seems like there is little difference between the original X2 and #Reload, but the last 3 are sufficiently different to almost be sequels, correct? Jingi Storm - a mediocre fighter but with strippers Kuru Kuru Khameleon - A puzzler that sounds interesting, but perhaps too new and pricey at the moment Lupin - The shooting Lupin - The typing - these sound awesome, but require specialist control (gun/keyboard) and I don't think I'm enough of a Jamma/JVS whiz to make them myself Senko no ronde SP - A must buy but currently selling for $1500 new ._. Tetris Kiwamemichi - Every system needs a copy of tetris Virtua Fighter 4 Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution Virtua Fighter 4 Final Tuned - definitely need Final Tuned, but have also read that the stages were different in Evolution from the original, so if the stages in FT are the same as in Evo, I'm thinking of getting the original as well as FT. Can anyone clear this up for me? Initial D Initial D Stage 2 Initial D Version 3 - It would be nice to get these, but I'm not sure I can construct a steering wheel and pedals interface. I'd sure like to give it a go though Anything else? Also, were there any Dreamcast/other ports that weren't perfect or different enough to warrant purchasing the NAOMI version. For instance, I have Beach Spikers on gamecube, so is it worth getting the NAOMI ver?
