Can Naomi 2 run DC games somehow?

Then we can have one board with a HUGE library!

no

 

[suverman]

Is it possible in future to be able to convert easily the games give they have similar architecture? Or do they have a different process which wont allow easy conversion?

 

[MetalliC]

you mean "press here to convert all teh gaems" class tool ? - no.
in theory its possible to convert some of games, but a lot of handjob will be required for each game.

Most DC games will just be way too big to do it anyway.

most dc games do have protections in them didnt realize how extensive till i hung with the rdc release group

@werejag please not again looks like you collecting all wrong rumors from the net...

what wrong rumors???? i experienced this personally.

I've seen protections only in few homebrew products - Pier Solar / Ghost Blade (same protector used), Sturmwind, Bleem.

Original GD-ROM games have no real protection, in worst case they have game data files locked to hardcoded specific LBAs, or check if some files really located at specific LBA, etc. sorry, but I can't call it "protection", its more like a joke.

that's my personal experience and impressions, lmk if I missed something.

Honestly, it would be way less effort for someone to mod a Dreamcast to work in an arcade cab. The DC games running on NAOMI would, I imagine, require work to get controls running with JVS, and if they somehow worked only on the Maple bus, but not JVS, then it's still relatively pointless for anyone wanting to play them in an arcade cab.
