Oh yeah and since it is in the title, some fellow managed to get the one successful dumped Atomiswave game working, Fist of the North Star. Not sure if I can post links though.
W.i.p from Haze. Cap vs Snk and Guilty Gear ! Can’t wait…

Played Senko no Ronde New on Naomi emu this weekend, so much win. :lovin:
Now I’m starting to get jealous of the 360 owners.
Anyway, seems like Atomiswave is now working with Hokuto(only dumped game?).

The sound seems a bit weird though, but it’s amazing for a first release. Gonna try that out when I get home today.
Coo pretty soon we can play the real HnK and not the crappy PS2 port.
Edit:
I just tested out HnK and it works great. The sound is the only problem but for a first release this is awesome. I’m looking foward to Rumble Fish 2 getting emulated soon.
Hopefully this means I can finally play Rumble Fish 2 again soon.
Same here… It’s so annoying how they never ported it to PS2 like the first one :grrr:
I think the problem right now is mostly that the roms aren’t dumped yet. I guess noone bothered since they weren’t emulated. Or maybe they have some tough decryption.
Guru only has one listed dump. I don’t think it’s the encryption, I think it’s the demand. He’s been chugging through Naomi (among others) lately, and you should see the list of stuff he’s got sitting around…
What’s really interesting is that Guru lists Chaos Breaker as a Naomi game instead of Type X. I asked about it and it seems there are conflicting reports, but they’ve decided to put it as Naomi.
I do believe it’s a Type X though… But the thought of getting to play Chaos Breaker is always welcome :rock:
Chaos Breaker is that insanely animated medieval looking fighter right? If so I really want to play that.
Looks like Naomi is coming along! Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is fully dumped and not working status ! http://guru.mameworld.info/naomi/index.html
twiddles thumbs for Accent Core
plays #R in the meanwhile to prepare for BB
…sniff…
anti-necro bump.
Guru got some more stuff done for atomiswave according to the latest mame release notes. Any word on how the rest of naomi/atomiswave is going?

8th June, 2009
Arrived and dumped…
Ranger Mission (2004, Sammy Atomiswave cart)
Sports Shooting USA (2003 Sammy Atomiswave cart)
http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?p=413
Pics of Sports Shooting for AW booting in MAME. We should see a full playable version very soon. Hopefully we can get the rest of the games dumped now so we can finally play them via GGPO.

He also just put up pics of Ranger Mission and FOTNS booting.
They’ve really started making some progress over the last couple weeks.
Here are some notes from the last beta:
Naomi/AW updates: [Deunan Knute, CaH4e3, R. Belmont]
- DMA protection emulation for qmegamis, fixes in-game graphics
- Correct decryption key for Extreme Hunting
- Added protection emulation for Cosmic Smash
- Added protection emulation for Capcom vs. SNK (cartridge ver)
And Deunan’s website has some pics of more Naomi cart games booting.

It’ll be quite awhile before it’s playable though.
You guys are really starting to get on my fucking nerves with this shit. Just stop it already and stop bumping this fucking thread, in hopes of playing Atomiswave/Naomi games in either GGPO or 2DF, because it is NEVER going to happen! E-V-E-R!! Here are the facts. Pay attention kids…
1)Atomiswave/Naomi hardware is currently in early WIP in MAME…MAME!!! Not Final Burn Alpha. FBA is a completely different emulator than MAME. Apples and Oranges!
2)Atomiswave/Naomi games use 3D graphics. Final Burn Alpha emulates fairly old 2D games…with CPS3 being the most powerful hardware it emulates. CPS3 is fully 2D and is nowhere NEAR as powerful as Atomiswave or Naomi.
3)The Final Burn Alpha devs are STILL currently focusing on emulating drivers for very old 2D games*(not a bad thing, mind you)* and have mentioned that they have absolutely NO intention of attempting to tackle drivers for 3D games.
In other words, Sarah Palin will become President of the United States before you see 3D games emulated in FBA.
They haven’t even tackled the Wolf Unit driver, which emulates the old Midway Classics like Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam for fucks sake!!!
So please guys, I know it hurts…I know you refuse to believe it…but trust me when I say you will never ever play Atomiswave/Naomi games in Final Burn Alpha, let alone online via GGPO.
Would I like it to happen? Of course I would. Hell, I would love Ponder to add the entire Final Burn Alpha Catalog to GGPO. But he has shown no interest in doing so for the past few months and he has that right, as it’s his project.
My dream would be for someone like Christophe, Ponder, Treble Winner, or IQ_32 to dig into MAME’s source code, find out how the emu works and write a new netcode from scratch. One that is as good if not better than Final Burn Alpha. This is a big dream but I realize the chances of it happening are absurdly remote.
Just wake up and realize that this is reality and things are the way they are. Atomisewave and Naomi have a long ass way to go before they are fully playable in MAME, and when they DO become playable, the only way you’ll be able to play them online will be via the shittiest fucking client to ever step foot in the earth’s atmosphere…Kaillera.
So again, stop bumping this thread and making comments like “Can’t wait to play Atomiswave/Naomi games in GGPO”…it’s a fucking pipe dream guys. Sorry.
Yeah, saw the dknute site pics, gs. Didn’t see the rest though, thanks for that. Yeah, can’t wait.

Who pissed in your Cheerios?
FBA uses quite a bit of MAME code FYI. Just take a look at the release notes and you’ll see how they bring in different EEPROM core code, sound code, etc. The last release switched over to MAME’s Z80 routines.
While it’s not going to happen soon, there’s nothing to say that in a couple years when AW/Naomi is further along the devs of FBA won’t consider adding Mame’s code and functionality for FOTNS and Guilty Gear.
Personally I think it’ll take years. But I’m not going to throw a tantrum on the forums about it.
Mame is the only emu I know that will emulate the Wolf unit driver and I can understand why. While the MK and NBA Jam games are fun to play they also bring with them a ton of problems when it comes to sound emulation. As for CPS3 while it can take an ok PC to run, it does not suffer from the same issues.
Necro post.
What’s the status on this? Has GGAC been dumped? I heard about it possibly happening a while ago and then nothing happened.
