tech help pls.

can somebody try something for me,

get a game cartridge without the plastic shell,
and fit it, then fit a dimm module above it.

does the naomi boot?
does the game on the cartridge boot?

if it does, it could be an interesting way to flash dimm modules!

I'm no Naomi pro... But I've never seen a game cart with a DIMM socket.
NetDIMMs and GDROM/CF DIMMs have DIMM sockets, but these are the only ones I've ever seen.
Not to mention the DIMM in a Net/GD/CF is volatile memory, IE write the game but cut the power/remove the DIMM and its blanked (aka DIMMs are written not flashed).

Please someone correct me if I'm off base here.

i meant the sega module, not the actual ram-stick.

@stj, give it a try and let us know your results. I doubt you can break anything and most probably you're not the first one that thought about it

I tried with my normal dimm, top board seems to take priority, at least it went straight to cf booting.

damn - so much for that idea.

i cant try it myself, i only have 2 cartridges and neither have any roms on them right now - they were kick4cash that i got to try some conversion stuff.
