Naomi Cabinet with PC switch
« on: September 29, 2013, 10:59:54 am »
SO I just picked up a MvC2 cabinet running on a NAOMI with a Cart in an older Dynamo Cabinet (looks like it had SFII in it back in the day, cause it still has the kit control panel overlay)


I want to maybe put a PC in it with MAME and Im wondering :

1. if I can use the JVS/JAMMA switch to plug like a KVM into and swap between the pc and NAOMI video inputs. 

2. I was wondering if there were 4 player control panels available for these games as well, I Want to say I've seen them that like sit on top of the side rails of the dynamo cab. 

the cabinet now, looks the same as this > http://www.severdhed.com/images/dynamo1.JPG

3. Is there a good way to hookup the buttons so that I can use the same control panel for the PC and NAOMI without causing problems?

Holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- that's creepy. There is a cat in your machine.

Your cab looks too small for 4-player control panel.

Or is there something special the cabinet would need to add the 4 player CP

Not sure what you mean by 'JVS/JAMMA switch'.  You might want to read up on the NAOMI system, here's a great place to start:

Cabinet is too small and has the wrong monitor angle for a 4 player panel. The guys on the side will have a hell of a time seeing the screen for the 5 minutes they play before the giant poking out control panel acts like a lever and flips the cabinet over onto the players.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

I guess i meant the Capcom I/O,  would I be able to hook up a PC through the VGA port using like a KVM?

Aand if that works and the video display is my PC, could I piggyback on the CP buttons wth a ps2 adapter without causing problems?

My goal would be to have a KVM swap between the NAOMI and a PC running MAME in the cabinet while using the same buttons on the control panel for both.
