Sega NAOMI 2
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2000, Sega debuted the NAOMI 2 arcade system board at JAMMA. NAOMI 2 offered improved graphics performance; by substituting the graphics-assembly of the previous NAOMI board with a new assembly composed of two PowerVR CLX2 GPUs and a VideoLogic Elan chip (for geometry transformation and lighting effects). NAOMI 2 also doubled the NAOMI's graphics memory from 16MB to 32MB, to enable more detailed graphics (each CLX2 has its own 32MB bank, as the CLX2 does not share graphics RAM). Architecturally, the NAOMI 2 is similar enough to the original NAOMI that both can play NAOMI games without modification.
With the NAOMI 2, Sega brought back the GD-ROM drive. For both NAOMI and NAOMI 2, the GD-ROM drive was now offered as an optional daughterboard expansion. The GD-ROM drive contained additional memory to allow caching of an entire game, speeding-up load times and reducing drive-wear.
