Naomi / supergun controls

[Zebra]

I recently dug out my old supergun from storage and I have an interest in trying a Naomi set-up.

Can I use my regular supergun arcade joysticks with a Naomi board? If not, can they (joysticks) be wired to the Naomi directly?

I read somewhere that Dreamcast controllers work with a Naomi. Is this true? If it is, does this apply to all types of games (e.g. Could I use a Dreamcast lightgun or racing wheel?).

Or... does every type of game require a different I/o board?

I completely missed the Naomi / Dreamcast video gaming era as it happened when I was at college where my focus shifted from gaming to woman. Was there a noticeable difference between the arcade and Dreamcast versions of games? I want to know if it is worth it for a non-collector to invest in Naomi stuff over a Dreamcast with an ad card drive?

Your jvs i/o will route controls to the supergun.

Otherwise you were probably looking for this thread: Naomi Maple Adapters Available from Mitsurugi-w

So, if I understand correctly, the answer is no on using Dreamcast controllers unless you purchase a special adapter and of the two options, one requires that I buy a broken Dreamcast and the other involves a waiting list.

Maybe the Naomi system is more trouble than it is worth. I'm not sure I have the time to add another diy project to the ever expanding list.
