hi guys, im on a quest to open the doors of net booting..

a lot of you guys know me and the way i am. im not a collector im a player. i dont sell for profit or indeed profiteer from arcade stuff. but i am on a mission. a long time ago in a far of galaxy, i chanced upon net booting. at that time i had 3 naomi cabs multiple mobos and games. i wanted more but i was fed up piling hundreds of bucks into games that lost me a lot of cash. so i stuck with jamma and im very happy with my games and cabs. however i kept getting dark thoughts. i have tried so hard to forget naomi but i cant. so although i got rid of my naomi gear, i got it back. at the moment im starting to build a minger of a cab. its not a she its a he, its my minger. i dont really care what it looks like, its mine. it was bought so that i can play mame, naomi and a 360 for cave cumminess. i can do the 360 and mame thing, but not the net booting. im just totally confused, peeps wont talk to me ??? i accept the argument over prices dropping for collectors but all the games i want to play i have, either original or on dreamcast. its not enough, i want more. i want this cab fully loaded with the stuff i want. im even worried about talking of the subject. but i have received a couple of pms on the subject advising me to come here. so here i am.

i have all the hardware and software. the software is with a mate who also collects. he had the hardware but it wouldnt boot. so i grabbed the hardware fitted the chip and booted it up, im in. it appears, alles ist in ordnung. so my problem, my mate is saying i need some software to run the system ??? like a mame front end as it were. at this moment i have it in my living room. i want it out of here and upstairs where it belongs, in the darkside. i have been to mame guru but im still lost. i need a talk through to get it running. im using a p4 laptop to store and load, ideally it will be wireless. if it works it will also be going in my id cab.

still confused ??? me too

you more than most know im not to clever on computers. and that it would appear is the problem. the hardware was a dawdle. not pretty though

its a 31k toshiba/ nanao monitor. the rest is from an id cab and naomi upright. so its a naomi 2 mobo with a 3.03 net dimm at 256k. i was advised all ok.

the mobo was playing up, so i brought the mobo and dimm here. the dimm wouldnt connect to the mobo. i de-cased the mobo fitted the chip to the dimm, set the jumpers and fired it up. bingo we have lift off

i know i could just plug in a dreamcast, but its not the same.

am i wrong in thinking mame destroyed the price of old jamma games ???

am i right in thinking net booting will lower the price of naomi games ???

then i say bollocks to that. some old jamma games still sell for £100+, whilst some naomi games you cant give away. im not out to steal and profiteer. i only want to play some games that i would buy if i had the cash. i wouldnt buy jamma games if i had mame, f**k off !!! if i wanted mame i would have it. i still buy naomi stuff and jamma stuff. this just gives me something back.

cheers.

In my opinion MAME (the software) won't have had much effect, MAME cabs will have had some effect, but those sh*tty multigame PCBs are probably the worst of the lot.
