I was eyeballing that Sega Naomi before.
Candys usually go for 600-800 euro depending on type and condition.
I must say that one looks immaculate but still too much..and it's not a regular sitdown

Placebo

yeah 1k is pricey for that yoke, not a sitdown either yea.
where u get yours?

unky chop chop

A lad in Holland.
He has a selection of them on offer.
Prices from 500 -700
Shipping 240 to your door. I'll pass on details if ya want Farz

Placebo

Holy **** that Naomi is expensive. Looks lovely, but still way too expensive.

They're not as nice as sit down candies anyway

CPS2 boards are both the most annoying and beautiful thing at the same time. My Aliens Versus Predator still has it's original unphoenixed chips and a suicide battery. I worry about it every day. :eek: I'd send it off to Raz to have it done, but then it seems like a waste if it's still working properly.

Prices:

$595 unpainted

$1,135 painted (standard color is all black)

That's an interesting route, but I don't see the point when you can have a real candy cab for almost the same price. Okay so maybe if you really want a Vewlix..but if not, just import an Astro, and Egret or something else as lovely

Plus CRT displays FTW! None of that laggy LCD scanlineless ****e!

K.O.Kiki

Plus the Kraylix would have to be shipped from USA, and includes no TV/monitor.

Stand-up Naomis are fine if you get some bar stools.

you can buy the shortened leg kit for the Naomis to bring them down to candy size, or if you're feeling brave, chop the legs ! theres a few guides online on how to do this.

Being brutally honest though - if you do go down the road of buying a cabinet, you want the flexibility to play all Jamma games. For instance, that 1100euro Naomi looks like its been gutted to use a PC. Theres much cleaner ways to get that all up and running and maintain the Jamma harness.

a 1000 curses on you :pac: After reading this thread, I thought to myself, lets go fireup the candy cab and play some SSF2Tx. Grand so, but first lets finally put it into the cab.

So I pop out the MVS 4 slot, on its lovely wood backboard. Connect up the CPS2 board, slide it in....but then I hear like a coin or something similar rattle inside it. Thought nothing of it and powered the machine on and this greets me:



Sucker dead ! and I was only playing yesterday. Curious and angry at the same time - I open up the board and find the battery was completely disconnected at one of the solder points. Bloody thing flew from Mexico, and let me enjoy it for a few days, and then spat a solder out. Anyway did a quick resolder, but i think the damage was done the minute I powered it on.

Long story short - pretty sure it can be phoenixed, so time to post off the chips !

again damn you :pac:

I got it from ebay - mexican account. To be fair, no complaints there. Plus the eproms are being sent off on monday to be phoenixed - total cost 15GBP, which then means I can change game regions etc. and never have to worry about the battery again. So silver lining and all that and certainly wouldn't let it put me off owning some proper Street Fighter arcade games.

Other option is to purchase off a seller on arcadeotaku - always plenty of boards for sale there.

Oh no man! Sorry to hear that..I swear it was nothing to do with me

Let me know how you get on with the phoenixing. I may just do this AVP board and get it over with. All my other ones are done already.

Funny story actually, I have a Children of the Atom CPS2 board that I was always worried about. I'd asked if the guy who sold it to me had phoenixed it and he hadn't a clue what I was on about. So I guessed it would die at some point.

Left it for about a year. Every time I thought about it I knew it was probably a goner. After ages, I fished it out and decided to give it a go on my supergun (my cab wasn't in my apartment at the time) - was 100% convinced it would be dead.

Not only did it boot up, there was a Phoenix boot screen.

'What the ****?! But I've never seen that before?!!? Did someone secretly phoenix it while it was in storage?!'

Then it dawned on me. It takes a moment for my arcade cab monitor to warm up. By the time it had, the CPS2 board had passed the phoenix boot screen! So never actually saw the thing. Mental.

Still haven't a clue who phoenixed it though?!

About 900 in total once I've added in buttons, wiring,pads and padhack,amp etc.
The sad thing is spending has only just begun

Placebo

The cab has dub blood in it as I am treating it as my first born. It would burst into flames if it crossed the border into the Rebel county:)

Just have to post vid of two arcade cabs playing together.
Always wanted to recreate that sound again of two machines belting out different effects simultaneously.
