I am using a Naomi 2 with Net dimm bios firmware version 4.02 and a raspberry pi running piforce 1.4. My situation is the same as loscanones - the setup will run any game as such from a hard reset and the "problem" appears when trying to send to another game while the setup is still on or while playing a game. I don't believe it is a raspberry pi issue either; but a general net booting issue with certain games. Certain Naomi games such as Borderdown, for example, will load fine, but if you attempt to change the game and load another game - doesn't matter which one, it will simply stay at "sending..." and it will not load any other game without a hard reset of the cabinet. Once you power down and back up again the entire cabinet - it will load another game fine. The games themselves run fine - it is just the idea of changing to another game through net booting with certain titles doesn't work. Not sure how many, but a few Noami titles and most of the AW titles from what I can tell. I also use the games from the link listed above by loscanones. It may not be a small or easy issue and it is perhaps only for those that net boot games - but any information on how to work around it would be great. I am not at my machine at the moment, but could get mores specific information on it later. I don't think it is a new issue and it has been discussed at some level previously on these forums by other users as well. Perhaps a common list of games that have the issue could be formed as well. The only think I noticed was with the Naomi games that hang on "sending" when attempting to change - going to the test menu allows the Naomi to "reboot" and this seems enough to get the net boot signal through and the game will start to change after you exit the test menu. Hopefully we can keep this discussion going and something could be found (a script or otherwise) to allow the games to change without the hard reset.
