NAOMI Vertical Games

Post by FrizzleFried » Mon Feb 24, 2025 2:03 am

Evidently these are the vertical games that NAOMI works with...

• karuga
• Under Defeat
• Psyvariar 2
• Illvelo
• Karous
• Mamoru-kun
• Radilgy
• Shikigami No Shiro 2
• Trizeal
• Exzeal

Gunna try to get my vertical Pi5 cabinet to run as many of them as possible...

Wish me luck.

Dont forget Trigger Heart Excellica (it's easy but fun), the bug that made it play badly is fixed on the Flycast version in ARpiCADE_5.

Exzeal is in Shooting Love 2007 with SHMUPS skill tester (all in Japanese but fun).

Mamoru-kun I don't know about... pretty sure the rest of your list should run fine.
EDIT: it's fine from what I can tell... how was I unaware of this game?... I thought I'd netbooted them all before.

Shikigami No Shiro (1) also runs good in 172, in case you haven't already got it going too. I need to fix the scaling on horizontal monitor but it should be fine on vertical.

I have 9 thus far... including Mamoru and Shikgami... I am having a difficult time finding Exzeal's ROMS and artwork... and I've never heard of Trigger Heart Excellica... will have to look for that.

Thanks!

trgheart has a chd you'l need too.

sl2007.zip is Exzeal, I don't think it had it's own release... but then I missed a whole game for a decade after building myself a vertical Naomi cab (but 80s style cab, with 20 inch high res CRT) so what do I know...

Playing Psyvariar 2... I realized... NAOMI games are saving high scores! (at least this one does).

This is something the NAOMI itself doesn't do... it won't maintain high scores between games. Only per game... and only as long as you have 7.x vdc (I believe it is) at the battery terminals (whether it's a battery or a wall wart + voltage regulator)...

As for the game... it plays pretty well. There are some slowdowns but I digress... certainly playable. The first two are of similar playabilty via MAME.
