Sega Naomi Virtua Golf

Ok, this goes against the grain of being a high score (it's a low score of -18). I understand that it's not a readily accessible game but if there's anyone out there who's got the game and is after a challenge here's one score to aim at. My date setting are knackered on the Naomi so the date and year are incorrect.

Today I achieved both of my objectives for this game.

A hole in one on hole 4 (commentator - Fantastic shot!)

An Albatross on hole 2 (commentator - Amazing shot!)

I’m assuming this is will work on any Naomi/new net city cab if you have the control panel?...ie it’s not a special jvs io etc....might keep an eye out for the cp is so would be cool to have...

 

[jonhughes]

Yes, you need the control panel which is remarkably difficult to find (possibly due to the specialist trackball PCB - number 837-13938).

A bit of competition sharpens the senses, good luck in getting one soon.

good score!

no alternative track ball set up

like using the io helper by mitsurugi

I have a net dimm and the control panel. Will have a go at the weekend and see how rusty I am. Doubt I'll get near your scores. Great game to play when friends are around. This and Neo Turf Masters are the best

I honestly 100% remember playing this on the dreamcast years ago on a burned CD but it seems it was never released on Dreamcast. Mandela effect

do u think a trackball could be connected to the I/O helper device ?
Mmm interesting.
