Hi guys! I am a fan from Italy and I kindly ask you for help on a project that I would like to carry out.
I am a very old video game and arcade enthusiast. As much as I consider myself a profound connoisseur of video games, retrogaming and the whole arcade world from a gameplay point of view, unfortunately I cannot say the same about the knowledge of the hardware part of the arcade cabinets.
I approached this world a few years ago by buying a beautiful naomi 2 and restoring it but my knowledge is very basic.
I have a naomi 2 with gdrom system + card and netdimm (which I cannot get to work after the naomi2 base has been replaced).
I bought a pandora because I wanted to transform (without losing the ability to use the original naomi games) the cabinet into a multiplayer, only obviously the pandora works exclusively in jamma and my board does not have it.
Can I do something to make the pandora on my naomi cabinet usable (without heavily modifying my naomi)?
Thanks and sorry for the question = (lol
 
First of all, thank you very much for your kind replies.
sorry for the silly questions, but I'm new to cabinets( at home :D at least, i've played them since I was a kid :D)
The jammafier looks gorgeous, but also very expensive. I don't find it used anywhere, it looks like I'll have to make the investment = (
Does all this effort make sense to try the pandora? Or better use anothe way? I also have a netdimm (but it gives me an error because when I restore the cabinet, they changed the naomi2 mainboard and I think it is not compatible) Thanks a lot for the help ;)
 
What error does it give you? are you trying to netboot games from a PC or Raspberry Pi? The netdimm should be compatible with your Naomi 2 unless the BIOS version is too old

If you could post the error number or attach some pictures that would really help
