Has anyone got any tips/tricks for using the the Naomi and booting from CF cards? Something like powering the Naomi and waiting for a few seconds before powering the CF reader. Or powering all at the same time and then connecting the scsi cable after?
I'm re-visiting an issue I've had since I first got the kit - powering it on I get absolutely nothing 99.9% of the time.
Thus far only got one game to boot twice. I had a chat with Mitsu and Ace` last year, but we weren't able to come to a conclusion.
Opening it up for further suggestions if anyone has any
Here's what I've done thus far:
Powered the Naomi from the onboard Vewlix and onboard Windy 2 power supplies.
Powered the Naomi from a standalone NVS4000 power supply
Powered the CF Card adaptor from the Naomi,
Powered the CF Card adaptor from its own seperate power supply.
Upped and lowered the voltage to the adaptor from 4.9 - 5.1 volts
Various combinations of all of the above
If I connect the CF adapter WITHOUT a card, I get an error 25 - cannot access GD ROM drive
If I connect the CF adapter WITH a card, I get nothing (see below) but disconnecting and reconnecting the adaptor brings the Naomi to life, but I get an error 25 - cannot access GD ROM drive

If I connect the CF adapter WITH a card, I get absolutely nothing - blank screen, no input, the equivalent of nothing being connected or powered on at all

If I run a DIMM test WITH the adaptor attached, I get the following (i have to disconnect/reconnect the adaptor in order to get the Naomi to boot and go to the test menu)

The only time it has worked was powering the CF kit from an external supply, and powering it up before the Naomi.
