TechnoFreek's Atomiswave Journey Part 2

First up, is the hardware.

My main piece of kit is a pc running Hyperspin and Groovymame. Groovymame is a must if you're connectig to a crt and offers silky smooth scrolling. You can see this at the end of the below video on the mk2 battle ladder.

The pc is in afractal case with a really quiet scythe cpu fan. the gfx is a radeon 4890 which was the max spec card groovymame supported at the time.

Also in there is the obligatory jpac and a sound amp to gte stereo from the pc in to the cab speakers.

Quick video below for anyone interested. Shaky cam ahead!

Next is the Naomi 1 with 256mb netdimm running with a pi3 hooked up to it running NaomiPi. This is real elegant solution that lets you put all the Naomi games on an sd card in the pi and select trough your mobile browser.
It also plays Atomiswave game dumps too!

If you can stretch to a Naomi 2 and 512mb net dimm, you can play the entire Naomi library

Last but by no means least, an MVS running a 161 in one cart.

This is a top class system and a quick and easy way to get a lot of (mostly) quality games up and running in your cab.
A must have although mame does a quality job emualting the Neo Geo if you're so inclined.

Another interesting item. Joysticks with balltops shaped like American footballs. These will designed to accompany the Atomiswave game Dirty Pigskin Football that was released in the US. The Atomiswave cabs over there are a different shape, upright. This joysticks are obnoxiously large and a curio only. Yuck!

Atomiswave game artwork. A pretty decent collection I have here. Condition of these is ok. Nothing minty, all have seen action.

The odd cart and manual included as well!

IC cards next. These were used in the card reader in the one player panel over the Aw-net system. Only a few games supported it. Cards mostly stored high score I think and unlocked some characters.

Any Atomiswave, including my own is missing the cable from the card reader that connects to who knows what! That's a part of the undocumented Atomiswave puzzle I could never figure out.

First ones up are for Neo Geo Battle Colisuem. Only four cards that I've ever seen and here they are!

Last lot of cards. King of Fighters Neowave.
There is also a cool official wallet to store them in.

This collection is defo not complete, I have seen others. I'd say I'm close to a complete set though.

Change of pace now. Some Naomi manuals and artwork for games I like on the system.
The artwork for the first three games is minty as f***. Not a mark. The last one, not so much!

Time for some Namco love. Played a serious amount of Tekken 2 back in the day

Thanks Technofreek BTW, I've ordered that AWSD part and it's winging it's way from France as we speak.
Hopefully this will mean two extraordinary things.

1. That I will finally have the 2P panel installed and working
2. That I can play Robotron for the rest of my life, excluding all others.

Great. Just to note, depending on the system, the max number of buttons that the jamma edge connector will pick up is five. So while the cable you get hooks up all 6 at the control panel side, you'll need to locate another connect near the jamma edge to pick up button 6. That goes for both player 1 and 2. Limitation of the jamma system as opposed to that cable you've bought

Let's cross that bridge when you come to it.

What system are you running in the cab?

Oh, the thing is running on a RPi3, with a China made PS3 controller clone thingy taking the input from the buttons via the Jamma loom. It sounds more complicated than it sounds!

Would love to see some pics please if you had time to share a few. Thanks
