			Juts wanted to see what peoples thoughts are on purchasing a naomi as i am considering getting one. Here are some of the pro's and con's that i can think of. If you have any suggestionsplease feel free to add them CON GD Rom Drive Expensive Need another 3.3V PSU for GD Rom Need an IO board Many games were released on the DC. PRO Naomi Boards are cheap GD Rom games are cheap No Suicide Batteries

		Runik		Jun 29, 2005
			I WILL buy one in the future In your PRO section you can add that some Naomi games weren't converted to the DC ...

			Believe it or not, i really want to play that Airline Pilots game, but i cant see myslef forking out for four naomi boards, plus 3 tubes, plus...

		it290		Jun 29, 2005
			Yeah, why not. But I don't know how convenient it will be if you plan on playing GD-ROMs and switching them around -- doesn't it have to fully copy the GD each time you load one? Or for that matter, if you have the game switched off for a certain period of time?

		Berty		Jun 30, 2005
			Yeah, apparently its like the CPS3.

			Just an update.... I finally decided to get the naomi, no all i have to do is wait for it to arrive, then get the extra cash for IO and Dimm Board, mal, interested in testing my naomi out for me when i get it?? just thought you'd be the closest person to me with an io board.

		mal		Jul 12, 2005
			Sure, or I could loan you my IO board.

			Is your icon that guy from magic knight rayearth? Kind of small so it's hard to tell lol.

			Highway Games... have Naomi I/O boards new for AUD$213. I've bought from them before and they're good to deal with.

			I just got a sega naomi IO board for 60pounds with cables from the neo-geo forums. I rang up about the Naomi IO's that they had and the only trouble is the GST cost, plus postage Im going to try to find a PSU from somewhere so i dont have to hack up my ATX unit I wish that highway accepted orders below $50 as there are some little items that i would like to get from them but i dont feel like paying the $15 surcharge. PS still waiting for the Naomi to arrive; the io as well as guilty gear x and comms board have all arrived though.

		Berty		Jul 28, 2005
			Here tis! EDIT, Its a pretty crappy picture, but trust me, the screen looks a whole lot better in person

			Nice You have a 3 players cabinet ?

		Berty		Jul 28, 2005
			yeah, i think that it was originally a Merc's cabinet. It is really good cause i also have got Alien vs Predator, Armored Warriors and Battle Circuit and all of those support three players too.
