Now power on again and note a difference. Now power off and plug in the network cable to your PC and to the DIMM. Note the presence of the 'NETWORK SYSTEM' logo on screen. You will see the LEDs flash occasionally. This is normal for the DIMM in network mode. It will take about 20 seconds for the system This will allow you to see what's going on via the LEDs. Note which way it goes with key notch towards the networkĬonnector and/or compare the cut-out in the top silver cover and orientate the PIC the same way. just opposite to network mode)ĭon't replace the top silver cover just yet.

For regular (cart/GDROM) booting, JP1 & JP2 are 2-3 and JP3 is 1-2 (i.e. Set them to the same as shown in the pic. You will see 3 jumpers labelled JP1, JP2 and JP3. The jumpers must be set to enable network boot mode. Remove the PIC if one is plugged in and then remove the silver cover on top of the DIMM unit to expose the top board. Remove the ROM cart / normal DIMM unit and plug in the network DIMM unit. I will show you how that works a bit later.įirst, ensure your NAOMI has the latest boot ROM and works normally using a ROM cart or GDROM then power off the system.

An RJ45 network cable (usually blue, like those used to connect a PC to a router).

I will sort that eventually I have sorted it now but I can't release the details so for everyone else you don't need one, just a regular network PIC is fine. the key is 0000000000000000)īut those are generally not available and top secret except to those hoarding them. There's network PICs that have a zero DES key (i.e. These are used with networked games like WCCF etc. 512M DIMM RAM isn't usually needed, 256M is enough and will speed up the booting since the unit does not need to check so much RAM on boot. This connector and it must have 3.17 firmware.

A working Sega NAOMI network DIMM unit.

A working Sega NAOMI or NAOMI 2 main unit (obviously!).

Knowledge of basic Sega NAOMI hook-ups and power requirements etc.

There may be other methods but I have not tried them. This is all based on my experience doing it. This secret bullshit has gone on long enough. Previously some people were using this method (secretly) and helping chinese bootleggers and being paid MUCHO dollars in the process. These can be used to play most of the 'regular' NAOMI GDROM games if you know how. The solution is to use a Sega network DIMM. Your expensive NAOMI cab will be unusable and you'll be very unhappy about that. The Sega NAOMI hardware is very nice but unfortunately using CDROM / DVDROM / GDROM drives in arcade games is seriously flawed because thoseĭrives will eventually fail.
