Just curious as I am still cutting my teeth on everything Naomi and jvs related. I understand that in order to get the Capcom fighting games to work (MvC3, SNK vs Capcom 2 etc) working that I need a capcom I/O board? Can anyone explain why this is the case as I thought the JVS standard supported up to 10-12 buttons per user?
At the moment I have an upright driver cab with the regular Sega I/O (I'm sure it's 837-13551-92) and will be changing the control panel, which has been modded to fit in place, and a complete digital harness to support the regular 2 sticks 6 button setup. I'm hoping this will be enough, but if I definitely need a Capcom IO or something similar I will pick 1 of those up as well.
Sega JVS IO is fine for Capcom games.
the only known for me exception is Power Stone 2 - it requires Capcom IO for 4 players through JVS. but instead may be used regular Sega IO for players 1-2 and two Dreamcast controllers for players 3-4.
Great, will have my digital loom delivered tomorrow to test it all out but nice to know I won't have to fork out for yet another piece of hardware. This Naomi ownership game is getting quite expensive!
I think the confusion comes from the sega jamma io, which although it supports 6 buttons, most people don't realise and/or prefer the Capcom io for the hirose connector.
