NNC/Naomi/JVS Head 2 Head?

[GuileWinQuote]

Hey y'all,
I have a Naomi Universal Cabinet and a New Net City cabinet running Naomi, and was wondering a few things:

How do I go about setting up a head to head set up (EX. 1 game with player 1 and player 2 on their own cabinet) on Naomi/JVS?

How do I go about 4 player Naomi games played on both cabs together? (EX. 2 players on both cabinet playing 4 players together on Power Stone 2)

I know the Universal Jamma Versus kit is coming soon, but what are the Naomi/JVS solutions in doing this (and how do they do it in the arcade)?
Is it as straight forward as splitting the image between cabs and wiring player 2's buttons from 1 cabinet to another or are there official peripherals?

The official way is to use the VS Kit that is typically already provided in the cabinet.

Here's a manual on how it works:

would you need a board per cab? Or just the Naomi in one and the pcb in the other?


Are there any other JVS game splitting solutions?

technically you don't really need it at all. I've seen people just get a really long USB cable and connect it to the slave USB port on the main cabinets JVS IO and then route the other end to the JVS IO on the secondary cabinet. You can split the video signal from the main cab using some kind of VGA splitter.
