Briefing Paper: Sega NAOMI Full ROM Set
1. Executive Summary
The Sega NAOMI (New Arcade Operation Machine Idea) is an arcade system board released in 1998 as the successor to the Sega Model 3. Unlike custom proprietary hardware, NAOMI is based on a modified Dreamcast architecture (Hitachi SH-4 CPU, PowerVR GPU). A "Full ROM Set" refers to a complete, verifiable collection of all commercial game dumps (ROMS, CHDs, and BIOS files) for this platform. This paper outlines the composition, acquisition standards, and technical considerations of such a set.
- Find a Frontend: If you are building a cabinet, use a frontend like LaunchBox or Attract Mode to organize your ROM set.
- Verify Your Files: Use tools like ClrMamePro or RomCenter. These programs check your ROMs against a database (DAT file) to ensure they aren't corrupted or missing files. This is crucial for a complex system like NAOMI.
- Get the BIOS: You will need the NAOMI BIOS files (
naomi.zip). These are legally required to be extracted from hardware you own, though they are often found in emulation packages. Without these, the games simply won't boot.
