Where can I buy one of those Raspberry netboot kits? Jasenscustoms seems down and my netdimm are all 3.03, so can’t use CF or know nobody with the GD-rom to update it in Europe…
Zumbito, you can piece a kit together on your own. It’s not terribly difficult. Check out Travis’ GitHub here for the software and needed parts: https://github.com/travistyoj/piforcetools
You will need to solder some stuff together (the LCD Screen), but its pretty straight forward; and find a null PIC. I have some at home but being deployed half way around the world precludes me from being able to send you one 
As for your DIMM being 3.03, it’ll need to be updated to 4.02, but getting it updated in Europe may be a tall order. Andy Geezer may be able to help, or someone on arcade otaku (arcadeotaku.com).
Well, either 4.01 or 4.02.
Either or are fine for netbooting, though.
Jasen customs is closed till September.
What’s the going price (as seller) on a full working naomi setup, just the standard cartridge system?
60 for motherboard
60 for sun psu
120 ish for capcom Io
120 ish for netdimm
I got my mulit kit. It’s OK, some games take multiple attempts to load…
I am not going to get rid of my compact flash adapter. That thing is 100% no matter what.
Try a different SD card, every game has booted successfully for me on the first try using 2 different Naomi setups and a raspberry pi with piforce tools.
I thought everything on the SD card was done in Linux? I can barely use windows lol.
The OS on the stick is linux, but you need to add roms to the stick somehow… and you don’t need linux to do so.
So I can slap this thing into a card reader and copy it onto another card?
No, that won’t work. You have to use a dd command within linux to do that or use an SD Card cloner in windows (since windows doesn’t have the dd command).
Adding images can be done via windows + a card reader.
not a straight file drop since there’s boot stuff that needs to be moved over.
you need to follow the instructions here:

So I’ve recently gone back to working with my Naomi, and here’s something weird that I’m experiencing.
I currently have a Sega I/O rev.B connected to it.
In the standard Naomi Test Menu, the Input Test reads all of my inputs correctly (Coin, Start, directional, 6 face buttons).
However, both when I boot up MvC2 and in the MvC2 Game Test Menu, neither reads my 3 kicks, and only the 3 kicks.
Coin, Start, directions and punches still work just fine in both in-game and in the test menu, but the kicks are weird and don’t respond.
Seeing as how the Kicks are on the separate harness, is there something I’m forgetting to do, like set a Jumper or something? I currently have JP1 set to position “A”, which I believe is correct since the JVS test mode nets me my inputs correctly…
So, this is the i/o that has buttons 4, 5, and 6 on their own header on the I/o, right? I know that there are a few i/o’s, one of which only has button 6 alone on the separate header.
I think I remember hearing something about that a while back… Lemme see what I can find.
Yep, this is the Rev.B one with buttons 4/5/6 on the kick-harness-header. Rev.A is the one with only button 6 on the header.
I’m trying to find some stuff via Google, but I’m not getting much of anywhere…
Hello, I recently bought a Japanese region Naomi MVC2 Cabinet and I’m having an issue where I lost all the characters and I can not gain exp to earn them back. I notice the vs screen has a VM### message (that might be an error?). I have a picture of the message but am unfamiliar with how to attach it here… I’d greatly appreciate if someone here might be able to point me in the right direction on fixing this. Thank you for your time
Edit…I changed my profile pic to the pic I have of the message lol
To earn the XP, you need to hook up a Dreamcast controller with a VMU and… do stuff. I dunno what exactly.
On the flipside, there are Test Menu codes to unlock all the characters instantly.
I appreciate the fast response, thanks. But, how does Naomi store that data on its own? It used to work fine without a DC controller
