Naomi 2 HDMI

[Bxbennyg1]

I wrote on twitter twice to ask if he can show the installation instructions so we can prep our boards but no answer

Yeah. Definitely want to capture my Capcom vs. SNK 2/Project Justice/Marvel vs. Capcom 2 sessions directly via HDMI.

I’ve been streaming all of my Naomi stuff using the VGA port of the VPM Buffer PCB (Blast City Vs. Kit), but what if I want to play Naomi stuff in an Egret II (interlaced lol) and stream it while running something else in the Blasts? This is why it’s necessary to have this hardware.

Hello,

You have to purchase the dreamcast kit and then wait for January for the flex cable?

I ask because where you go to the site the selection for naomi 2 is grayed out.

We just purchased the DC kit and hoping to secure the Naomi flex and mount next month.

Correct. Naomi flex isn't ready yet. Will need to order it separate later, or you could hold off until then and buy them both together.

Thank you for the replies 😊

Hopefully, most of you can try installing it yourself as it’s a great way to practice your soldering and modification skills.
It’s a fairly straightforward and simple install. Not hard but very tedious.
If you have any questions, let me know here.

EDIT: don’t use the mini hdmi adapter as it will damage the plug applying more pressure than it should. Use a dedicated mini hdmi to hdmi cable instead.

Nice work!

@tacobell what type of fans are you using on the heatsinks ?

Also which direction is it blowing ?
