{{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 originally released in 2000. Since it uses similar NAOMI architecture (but significantly beefed up), it is also fully backwards compatible with its predecessor.

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.

This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

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)

Memory

  • RAM: 392–648 MB (SDRAM)
  • Main RAM: 32 MB

  • Sound RAM: 8 MB
  • DIMM RAM: 256–512 MB[46]
  • L2 cache: 256 KB
  • ROM: 26 MB
  • System ROM: 2048.25 KB[n 44]
  • DIMM ROM: 24 MB (EPROM)

Bandwidth

  • RAM bandwidth: 11–12 GB/s
  • Main RAM: 1.6 GB/s
  • VRAM: 8.4 GB/s
  • Sound RAM: 132 MB/s
  • SRAM: 44 MB/s
  • DIMM RAM: 1.1–2.13 GB/s[n 45]

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.
