Error 26 may also mean your DIMM board is not seated properly. The connectors between it and the Naomi are notoriously finicky. I recommend using Deoxit to clean the contacts on both the DIMM board and Naomi, and reseating the cart and removing it multiple times to work the Deoxit on the pins to clean them. You also have to kind of push quite hard down to make it have a good contact.
I would also recommend getting the Naomi Zero Key chip as it removes the security check. Shameless self-promo but I sell them on my website here:
