Hi all, I recently got
SEGA NAOMI arcade machine emulation up & running on my Xbox One S and thought I would share the steps involved ....
The main issue people encounter is getting a
naomi.zip BIOS file that works with the flycast emulator . The only way to ensure you have the correct file is running a MD5 check on it, but as a rule of thumb it should have a size of
9,091 KB (so check that first).
To perform a MD5 check:
- Put the naomi.zip BIOS file in the Downloads folder on your Windows PC
- open the command line (search beside the Start button for 'cmd').
- change directory to Downloads by typing cd downloads and pressing Enter
- type in certutil -hashfile naomi.zip md5 and press Enter
- if you have the correct BIOS file the result of the check will be eb4099aeb42ef089cfe94f8fe95e51f6
Nothing else will work, if any other result appears you have an incorrect
naomi.zip and must find another to put through the check.
Using the Xbox portal, upload the
naomi.zip to the folder
LocalState \ system \ dc \
Unfortunately we cannot load games from a USB, so all ROMs must be uploaded to the
LocalState folder.
I can confirm the following games load & work:
- Dynamite Baseball 99
- Guilty Gear X
- Virtua Tennis 2
- Virtua NBA
- WWF Royal Rumble
- Wave Runner GP
I can confirm the following games have issues:
- Asian Dynamite => wont load
- Akatsuki Blitzkampf Ausf Achse => wont load
- Virtua Tennis => loads then crashes after 5 seconds of introduction
- Sega Strike Fighter => loads NAOMI logo then shows error
- Virtua Athlete => wont load
- Melty Blood Act Cadenza => wont load
- Jingi Storm => wont load
Quite a few games wont load, so I suspect there is an issue with the actual ROMs. There is probably a method to verify the ROMs so I will do another post soon explaining how to check.
Happy gaming !!
