Title: Naomi Cabinet with PC switch
Post by: bimm25e 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 (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.

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.
