they were tested on both, the NAOMI 2 column is the result of the NAOMI 2 specific test, the other columns were all on NAOMI 1
Which is the best I/O?
- Thread starter tonyt76
- Start date
| Type-1 JVS I/O | Type-2 JVS I/O | Type-3 JVSI/O | JAMMA JVS I/O | Capcom JVS I/O |
| boots* | boots* | boots* | boots* | boots* |
Tells me that these 5 I/O boards booted the game on a Naomi 1 successfully. What was the Naomi 2 test?
I'm envisioning the data to look like this:
Crazy Taxi
Naomi 1
| Type-1 JVS I/O | Type-2 JVS I/O | Type-3 JVSI/O | JAMMA JVS I/O | Capcom JVS I/O |
| boots* | boots* | boots* | boots* | boots* |
Naomi 2
| Type-1 JVS I/O | Type-2 JVS I/O | Type-3 JVSI/O | JAMMA JVS I/O | Capcom JVS I/O |
| boots* | boots* | boots* | boots* | boots* |
I'm only saying this because this spreadsheet is very powerful and can save someone a tremendous amount of hours in trial & error. I would like to help make it as perfect as possible for the community.
100% of the testing for the different IO boards was done on the NAOMI1
After that, I went through and tested on NAOMI 2, picking a known Compatible IO board (based on the NAOMI 1 tests, this ended up being the Type 1 IO)
The point was to check if the Game was compatible with the NAOMI 2 motherboard and BIOS. There is no reason to believe that an IO would stop working with a game just because it was on NAOMI 2 instead of NAOMI 1, therefor there is no reason to re-test every single game on the NAOMI 2 with every single IO configuration.
I've renamed the field to "NAOMI 2 JP-C" since technically this field represents testing the NAOMI2 JP RevC bios, where as the two fields to the left are testing the NAOMI 1 USA Rev H and NAOMI 1 JP Rev H (all of these tests were on the Multi BIOS)
In Short:
If the NAOMI 2 field is Red it means it doesn't matter what IO board you use, the game will not work.
If the NAOMI 2 field is Green it means that whatever the IO board cells show is the kind of compatibility you can expect to get with those IO boards.

@tonyt76 I use 4.02 and 512MB of RAM in all of my NetDIMMS. I actually tried to go with 1GB but the DIMMs started acting wierd. So I decided against it because none of the games really benefit from that much anyways.
I also built up the rig to be able to install the whole Naomi rig easily .. I am in the process of setting up anything I use in my Blast Cities to be able to be quickly swapped out .. MAME PC, Darksoft Sega STV multi, and this Naomi multi-boot rig .. Plan on building backboards with Namco 246, Namco 256, and a Neo Geo single slot this way. All self contained not needing anything to fire up.
It wouldn't all fit on one backing board with enough room to breath so I came up with a shelf tier set up.
It all worked out pretty good except I need to slide the Capcom I/O back a little bit so when I put the door on it doesn't mash up the wiring so bad..
