Then, go to Options -> Maple -> Port X -> Config keys. and change Input plugin to PuruPuru Dreamcast Controller.
First a pulse is pulled high on the latch line for 12us telling the controller to lock in the button inputs. I thought I would start with something simple so had a look at how the SNES controller protocol works. Time to get a controller with more buttons working.

I attached a 9pin d-sub connector for a master system controller that I had lying around as a quick and easy way of getting controls going, a tact switch acts as a means to insert coins, free of charge! Dev Day 03 – Super Nintendo Controller, Analog Controls I must point out that I did not include the diodes as I could not see any reason for using them, in my opinion the inclusion of the diodes in the diagram show a slight misunderstanding of how a wire can be pulled up and down. ino file I had a nice compact board made.

Its perfect as it uses a teensy 3.x which will make writing code for interfacing with game controllers a lot more flexible.Īfter following the wiring diagram in the. A quick google and I came across the Teensy JVS project on Github. Again this is another expensive item and there can be different types for certain games.
As most arcade hardware uses the JAMMA connectors, the Naomi needed an extra board to handle the conversion between the two, the “JVS I/O board”.

JVS utilised serial interface instead of the many digital input lines of JAMMA giving it far greater versatility. Sega decided to ditch the JAMMA standard and use their own, JVS. The Naomi made a change from normal arcade conventions hence the “I” in the name “Naomi” standing for “Idea”. We now have a working machine, which leads to our next problem, no controls… Dev Day 02 – JVS Emulator With a flick of the PSU switch the Naomi loudly sprung to life, extractor fan whirring. For anyone wondering about the colours of each wire: White = GND, Yellow = 3.3v, Red = 5v and controversially Black = 12v. There a a couple of pinout images online for this but its also incredibly easy to figure out yourself with a simple continuity test following the very helpful silk screen around the JAMMA interface. With a 24pin atx extension I was able to put together a configuration of wires that I could insert into each of the male pins on the Naomi, including a short to ground with the green wire. For now I just want to get the machine working. I’ll get back to finding an appropriate connector for these ports. About the power connectors on the back of the Naomi: despite them being female and appearing to have female pins they actually have male pins. Now I was hoping that the power ports on the back of the naomi used standard 6 and 8 pin molex connectors but as you can see from the picture there is a slight difference in size.
I purchased a 500W supply on amazon for £18.

A standard PC PSU covers this and is inexpensive. Looking at pictures of the sega supply I can see that all is required is a power supply with 10Amps on each rail (12v, 5v, 3.3v). The Naomi power supply isnt too expensive but pared with a step down converter is costly and bulky. The first problem to solve is to find a replacement for a power supply. I can afford to spend a fortune on this and its no fun when you can just buy everything ready to go. Part of this build will involve money saving thinking. After a good scrub with a toothbrush, white vinigar and baking soda she gleemed like a Dev Day 01 – The Power Supply I could only assume the cabinate which contained this beauty also contained a steady fire, judging from what looked like soot on the main board.

My Goal: To have a relatively portable (“Portable” like a Gamecube, not “Portable” like a Gameboy) machine that can be simply plugged into a TV and has a range of controller options allowing the console experience while maintaing an arcade experience if it takes ones fancy. This time though I cant have a huge machine filling up half of the living room so will have to opt for a “consolization” build for this machine. The idea of one of my favourite consoles (Dreamcast) with double the ram and vram running those classic games in their purest forms really butters my bread. I’ve wanted one since I built my late MAME arcade machine. I always have one or two projects on the go at a time but never get around to writing up anything about them on my blog.
