NAOMI versus NAOMI II

Post by rtw »

Will any NAOMI games benefit in any way from running on a NAOMI 2 motherboard ?

I seem to remember a discussion about this a while back, although the Naomi 2 does bring more processing power to the table I don't think these is any discernible difference with the running of Naomi 1 games on the system.

I'm no expert but assuming the Naomi 1 games were designed before the Naomi 2 was conceived/available then the developers won't have added in any extras to benefit from the later system. No different from playing an Xbox game on a 360.

I am prepared to eat a whole chocolate fudge cake if I'm wrong though. :D

The second part of the argument doesn't hold water as the Xbox 360 uses a different graphics engine and actually does enhance the the quality of many V1 Xbox titles you run on it (*Note, this is not always the case lol) - as for Naomi 2 and Naomi 1, it shouldn't as it's the same graphics engine, just upgraded, however I wouldn't know as the scuzz ball that sold me my N2 sent me a pile of shi**

Oh I remember the days when ROGER would ask this, then ignore every answer given to him.

N1 games play no different on an N2 that they do on an N1.

God bless him, I wonder which back alley he ended up murdered in after annoying the wrong person? :)

Running Naomi1 GD-Rom games on Naomi2 mobo actually suffers from longer loading times.

I could show you, but then I'd have to kill you too.

I wish ROGER would come back. He was great :lol:
