The Sega NAOMI 2 is an arcade board developed by Sega and is a successor to Sega NAOMI hardware. It was announced in 2000, with the first games utilising the technology shipping in 2001^[1].

Hardware

The NAOMI 2 is significantly more powerful than the NAOMI, including a dual CPU setup, new T&L GPU, dual rasterizer GPU, increased memory, and faster bandwidth. This leads to games with much more polygons than a NAOMI game, rendered at much faster speeds, while the new T&L GPU adds advanced lighting and particle effects. It was also more affordable than the very expensive (and difficult to program) Sega Hikaru arcade system that preceded it. The NAOMI 2 was nevertheless more powerful than home systems at the time.

As with the NAOMI, the NAOMI 2 was also available in GD-ROM and Satellite Terminal variants. By using similar architecture to the original NAOMI, it is fully backwards compatible with its predecessor.

NAOMI 2 GD-ROM Specifications

The NAOMI GD‑ROM, released in 2001, is identical to the standard NAOMI, but uses GD‑ROM discs for storage instead of ROM cartridges. It comes with a DIMM Board, which is very similar to a ROM cartridge, but with RAM instead of ROM. When a game is installed, the GD‑ROM content is loaded onto the DIMM Board RAM, so that the game data runs from the DIMM Board rather than the GD‑ROM disc. The NAOMI 2 GD‑ROM specification includes the following differences:

Board composition: Motherboard + Daughter Board + DIMM Board
Storage media: GD‑ROM drive

GD‑ROM transfer rate: 1.8 MB/s (1800 KB/sec)

History

VideoLogic's Elan, the T&L geometry GPU coprocessor used in the NAOMI 2, had been in development since 1998, when the original NAOMI arcade system and Dreamcast console launched.^[48] Yu Suzuki was involved in its development, insisting that it must have enough power to sustain in-game performance of at least 10 million polygons per second with all effects enabled.^[49] It was also more affordable than the very expensive (and difficult to program) Sega Hikaru arcade system that preceded it.^[50] The NAOMI 2 was nevertheless more powerful than home systems at the time.

+{{sub-stub}}The '''Sega NAOMI 2''' is an [[List of Sega arcade systems|arcade board]] developed by [[Sega]] and is a successor to [[Sega NAOMI]] hardware. It was announced in 2000, with the first games utilising the technology shipping in 2001{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20001203044300/http://www.sega.co.jp/sega/corp/news/nr000921_3.html}}.
-The '''Sega NAOMI 2''' is an [[List of Sega arcade systems|arcade board]] developed by [[Sega]] and is a successor to [[Sega NAOMI]] hardware. It was originally released in 2000, and stands as a beefed up version of the NAOMI specification. It is also fully backwards compatible with its predecessor.
-The NAOMI 2 is by and large a more powerful successor of the NAOMI, adding a secondary CPU and GPU at higher clock rates, adding a new T&L GPU, and increasing the main graphics memory. This leads to games with much more polygons than a NAOMI game, rendered at much faster speeds, while the new T&L GPU adds advanced lighting and particle effects. It was more affordable than the [[Sega Hikaru]] arcade system that preceded it.
+==Hardware==
+The NAOMI 2 is significantly more powerful than the NAOMI, including a dual CPU setup, new T&L GPU, dual rasterizer GPU, increased memory, and faster bandwidth. This leads to games with much more polygons than a NAOMI game, rendered at much faster speeds, while the new T&L GPU adds advanced lighting and particle effects. It was also more affordable than the very expensive (and difficult to program) [[Sega Hikaru]] arcade system that preceded it. The NAOMI 2 was nevertheless more powerful than home systems at the time.
-As with the NAOMI, the NAOMI 2 was also available in GD-ROM and Satellite Terminal variants.
+As with the NAOMI, the NAOMI 2 was also available in GD-ROM and Satellite Terminal variants. By using similar architecture to the original NAOMI, it is fully backwards compatible with its predecessor.

+===NAOMI 2 GD-ROM Specifications===
+The NAOMI GD‑ROM, released in 2001, is identical to the standard NAOMI, but uses [[GD-ROM|GD‑ROM]] discs for storage instead of ROM cartridges. It comes with a DIMM Board, which is very similar to a ROM cartridge, but with RAM instead of ROM. When a game is installed, the GD‑ROM content is loaded onto the DIMM Board RAM, so that the game data runs from the DIMM Board rather than the GD‑ROM disc. The NAOMI&nbsp;2 GD‑ROM specification includes the following differences:
+* Board composition: Motherboard + Daughter Board + DIMM Board
+* Storage media: [[GD-ROM|GD‑ROM]] drive

+==History==
+[[wikipedia:Imagination Technologies|VideoLogic]]'s Elan, the T&L geometry GPU coprocessor used in the NAOMI 2, had been in development since 1998, when the original NAOMI arcade system and [[Dreamcast]] console launched.{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/19981206111041/http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB19980923S0008}} [[Yu Suzuki]] was involved in its development, insisting that it must have enough power to sustain in-game performance of at least 10 million polygons per second with all effects enabled.{{magref|nextgeneration|77|61}} It was also more affordable than the very expensive (and difficult to program) [[Sega Hikaru]] arcade system that preceded it.{{magref|nextgeneration|76|37}} The NAOMI 2 was nevertheless more powerful than home systems at the time.
