supergun and naomi questions for a n00b...

[instant_classic]

Hi Guys

Well it looks like im gonna buy markedkillers boardmaster supergun and was hoping you could offer me a little advice

Im a complete n00b to anything arcade/tech related but am an old schooler when it comes to the games

Basically what do i need to play virtua tennis and naomi games thru the boardmaster (obviously the motherboard and game)

Also can i connect naomi to supergun for controls and output via naomi and not supergun so i can use a vga monitor??

Sorry about all the dumb **** questions but this is a mine field

Ta

p.s cant wait to play the actual arcade version of Final Fight when i get the jamma board!!!!!

You can connect a Naomi to the supergun using a JAMMA I/O.

Video can be taken from either the JAMMA IO, or directly from the Naomi motherboard.

Audio will need to go through an amplifier (either arcade, or a standard home Amp)

Controls work via JAMMA on the supergun.

I think you might have PM'd me already, but if not, I have all you need (minus the AMP) on my sales thread.

Also, Naomi need 3.3V as well, so you will either need a seperate 3.3V PSU, or an adapter to use a standard ATX PSU

I have a spare Sega Naomi Amp for sale if you wanted it £25 plus postage. Its very cleans and in good condition

Looks like you have near full-on setup

You will be better off with the Capcom IO (£80 approx) There is no need for additional PSUs or sound amps if you go down that route & It looks a lot neater.

Naomi mobo + capcom io is all you need to play Naomi Cart Based games on any supergun / jamma cab

What games are you specifically after?

Why are you trying to talk him into buying an amplifier for a supergun? Just route the audio directly into the TV, computer speaker setup, home theater receiver or whatever you'd normally use to produce sound!

Thanks for pm John i will get back to you!!

Mainly looking for MvC 2, VT 1&2, virtua striker 2 and wwf royal rumble!! Will then upgrade to gd and hopefully naomi 2 board.

Will also be getting some cps2 stuff as well, mainly street fighters and MvC.

I have been keepin an eye out for a capcom i/o but only seen proper expensive ones on other forums plus majority are over in the states.

Capcom or Sega V2 io will work fine as both will convert JAMMA to JVS & amplify phono level from the Naomi to JAMMA levels for the SG.

Infact I was playing DOA2 on My Pana the other day with a Sega V2 & Naomi-1 mb set to 15Khz.

The only problem you will have is you cannot run a GD-ROM through either the Capcom/Sega convertors as they dont produce enough power.

If you want one I can supply a Sega V2 io with all leads for £90 posted or with Naomi-1 m/b, Virtua tennis & Dead or alive millenium edition for £190 posted - if you live in the UK.

I still can't bring myself to sell MvC2 even though I hate it

I've got Virtua Striker 2000.1 (whatever the Naomi cart one is?) is £40 about right for it? If I'm out on price someone let me know.

Thanks for the offer, before i go buying anymore gear i will wait until i have sorted the sg deal with markedkiller78 and then ill let you know!!

If i were to have the kit im not really bothered about DoA so would want to buy without it. But ill drop you a pm as soona s the boardmaster is mine

Thanks for all the advice guys, anything else I should know??

If your TV accepts VGA you could run the Naomi at 31Khz, connect directly to the VGA input on the TV and take the phono output to line in on the TV too.

You could use a Sega V1 io just for the JAMMA-JVS and a PC power supply fof the Naomi & GD-ROM. Its messy but would be an alternative way of doing it.

I'll take some pictures so you can see how it all bolts together tomorrow.

That would be great cheers. Im slowly starting to get an idea of whats involved.

Supergun using a Sega V2 io to power Naomi mb set to 15Khz so video can be fed to a monitor using s-video (the Dell monitor accepts S-video, VGA & composite video so makes a perfect testbed) but you could just as easily be feeding RGB video to your TV.

Thanks for the pic Penrhos.

Its far easier to understand how its set-up once i can see it like that!!

Am still interested in the Sega V2 i/o and will get in touch as soon as I have heard about the boardmaster.

Thanks again!
