Dear all,
I'm VincentNL a hobbyist reverse engineer currently working to reverse AM2 NLObjput Naomi Library model format. As of now an awesome Blender import plugin has been developed by Zocker_160, and it is possible to create on a limited capacity, new models or swaps for the huge library of Naomi / DC games (check out HoTD2 zombie's axe in Virtua Tennis).
Contents description seems to hint several specific Kamui SDKs, most likely used for the "porting phase" of Naomi titles to Dreamcast.
As usual, if anyone is interested on bidding for this item please send me a PM or reach me on Discord: VincentNL#5259
Please be aware it most likely is a recently burned copy as CD is the same type as Naomi SDK,
0 doubts on files authenticity but anyone interested needs to be aware of it, especially if he wants to resell.
1) NAOMI on DC 000920 SDK
Multiple Kamui SDK and a set of tools used to port Naomi games to Dreamcast.
2) NAOMI SDK V.001002
Cyo got it! It's history now.
CD Contents Description (English translated LINK)
Naomi Library were developed by AM2 division, extensively used by SEGA between 1999-2001 in SEGA Naomi arcade hardware and SEGA Dreamcast games.
This one is the real deal. Official NAOMI SDK with debugger programs, AM2 Library documentation used for developing most of
Naomi Library games, DC ports & Monkey Ball on Gamecube, plus a set of 3D program plugins for creating data.
There are two known versions of this SDK in game strings, probably related to the model format: NLOBJPUT Ver.0.99 and 0.8
3) Kunoichi SDK 2.02
A couple of weeks ago, Yahoo auction presented an unreleased official Naomi SDK CD named Kunoichi SDK 2.02, bought for a steep price (411,000 yen) by an unknown individual.
Motivated by the finding and with the help of awesome people, I were able to reach the seller to ask if he held another copy, obtaining information regarding Kunoichi SDK 2.02 filenames.
It turned out Kunoichi SDK 2.02 being an exclusive third-party oriented Naomi SDK, containing own exclusive libraries (lib.kn and NLAjamma) plus Katana SDK V2.00J separate libraries and tools.
According to strings, it were used to develop late Naomi games, but no Dreamcast known ports.
As it didn't contain the AM2 Naomi Library I were looking for, I've asked if he had other Naomi SDKs and got the real surprise:
He has 1 more unreleased Naomi SDKs!
And here's the reason I'm here today:
The seller didn't put them on auction yet and refused to provide any further information unless these 3 items will be bought for an high price:
KUNOICHI SDK 2.02 / 411,000 yen.
NAOMI SDK 001002 / 411,000 yen.
NAOMI on DC 000920 / 411,000 yen.
+ 4,000 yen for shipping the 3 CDs.
Seller's insanely expensive offer were refused.
If anyone is interested on buying / setup a fundriser or discuss a strategy to bid these when / if they will be on Yahoo auctions, please let me know!
Thanks for your attention,
