Anyone got experience of using JVSCab2PC? https://github.com/baritonomarchetto/JVSCab2PC in a Naomi cab?

Naomi is JVS though.
Nope, but it looks neat. It replaces the Sega IO. Annoying if you want to use both PC and arcade though.
JVSPAC is more convenient if you want to do both.

Oops, I just realized you have a hi-res/31khz/VGA only capable monitor in that Naomi cab.
In that case, you would set your video resolution to 640x480 and just connect video and audio right up to the cab. You might need an RCA-to-3.5mm adapter for audio. You can go with JVSPAC, but it is a more expensive solution that offers more simpler wiring. Or you can crimp a pair of USB controllers and to wire them up under your control panel. Costs a lot less, but also requires you do have the requisite parts and tools for the job, plus is more work.
Save the JAMMAizer for when you have a JAMMA/standard res cab or a tri-sych capable cab.

Me! It works great. Replacing the i/o, it has the advantage of a minor lag with respect to solutions where the converter is in series with the i/o board. As someone already said, it can be used with PC only
