More Atomiswave to NAOMI conversions

General Comments Off

Nov 022013

Today I got a chance to test out the two new conversions from Darksoft.
First is Knights of Valor: The Seven Spirits.
Never heard of this game before.
It plays really well and I really enjoyed it. Once again I couldn’t see any issues with the conversion.

Second up is Guilty Gear X 1.5
I already own this game a couple of time over for the NAOMI so not too excited about this release but that’s not really the point of this project.
I had a little issue to start with as I must of netbooted the game half way through something else going on. The game only booted to the test screen and couldn’t start the game. I tried netbooting again after that and the game worked perfectly.

I’m really liking this project, its not only bringing games to my attention that I never knew existed but its also allowing me to play them.
Please, if you like these conversion them please donate a little something to Darksoft if you can. If you aren’t able to give anything then just leave a comment on his site to let him know its appreciated.

Modded CPS3 security cart

Today I got my modified CPS3 security cart.
I ended up getting the custom SH2 processor swapped for a normal SH2 and im pleased to say it works perfectly.
Not really too much to say about this as its all been extensively covered so ill just post a few pics.

It was about half way through flashing when I remembered the supplied CD wouldn’t actually have 2nd Impact on it. Luckily it flashed 3rd Strike instead.

Thanks to Alpha1 from the UKVAC forum for arranging postage and of course thanks to Mitsurugi-W and Darksoft for the soldering work and modified BIOS.

Picked one of these up for a reasonable price recently.

Its in very good condition and it works too.
Time to open it up and see whats inside.

This thing is a computer in itself with a processor, ROM and RAM. You can install JiffyDOS into this as well but im going to leave it alone as my SD2IEC will be the thing getting the most use, this item is just a nice to have.

Atomiswave Demolishfist on NAOMI

The people that brought us the CPS3 super BIOS/SH2 mod are currently working on converting Atomiswave games to run on a NAOMI.
This morning I thought id give the Demolishfist game a try and netbooted it up.

Ive never played this game before and probably never would have if not for this work and I am very impressed.
I got to level 2 and couldn’t see anything wrong with gameplay or graphics. There may be some issues but I lack any knowledge on the game so I really don’t know.

I’m looking forward to seeing more of this project and hopefully Hokuto No Ken will be soon. It was the only reason I bought an Atomiswave (sadly needed to be sold on) and really miss the game.

A little while back muddymusic lent me his PCE-JAMMA unit to look at.
The whole saga can be found here.

There is pretty much no documentation available out there for this unit but my friend Tormod seems to have quite a bit. Here is a scan of the manual he has for it

After tracing the hardware out and various trials and a fair amount of input from the arcade community we came up with this:

Its not a bad system really and it works well for what it is
