| HARDWARE DESCRIPTION |
The NAOMI (New Arcade Operation Machine Idea) is also Japanese for beauty above all else.
CPU : 2 x Hitachi SH-4 32-bit RISC CPU (200 MHz 360 MIPS / 1.4 GFLOPS)
Graphic Engine : 2 x PowerVR 2 (PVR2DC-CLX2) GPU's - (under the fans)
Geometry Processor : Custom Videologic T+L chip "Elan" (100mhz) - (Under Heatsink)
Sound Engine : ARM7 Yamaha AICA 45 MHZ (with internal 32-bit RISC CPU, 64 channel ADPCM)
Main Memory : 32 MByte 100Mhz SDRAM
Graphic Memory : 32 MByte
Model Data Memory : 32MByte
Sound Memory : 8 MByte
Media : ROM Board / GD-Rom
Simultaneous Number of Colors : Approx. 16,770,000 (24bits)
Polygons : 10 Million polys/sec with 6 light sources
Rendering Speed : 2000 Mpixels/sec (unrealistic max, assumes overdraw of 10x which nothing uses)
Additional Features : Bump Mapping, Multiple Fog Modes, 8-bit Alpha Blending (256 levels of transparency), Mip Mapping (polygon-texture auto switch), Tri-Linear Filtering, Super Sampling for Full Scene Anti-Aliasing, Environment Mapping, and Specular Effect.
Compatibility : Fully backwards compatible with all Naomi and GD-Rom games.
Notes : Notice that Naomi 2 has four time the amount of main memory and graphics memory that Dreamcast has, and twice that of the naomi so ports from Naomi to Dreamcast may involve more conversion time and a great loss of texture detail. Also note that the Naomi2 board has four times the sound memory of the Dreamcast, and the reason for this is because the Naomi board is'nt meant to spool redbook audio from the GD-ROM drive.

| Flyers : Normal Flyer - US Flyer
| | Cabinets : Deluxe - Other
| | Notes : To use your turbo you have to scream into a microphone, you also have to talk to other drivers by saying "YES" or "NO" into the microphone to get extra points. Good fun, but you feel a bit silly screaming into it in the middle of an arcade ;) |
| Prequel :
18 Wheeler (2000)

Notes : Sega and the traffic education service are together making the "SEGA DRIVING SIMULATOR" which is being developed for Japanese driving schools.
The simulator has been a joint effort between Sega, Japanese driving schools and the government.
Designing the machine they have taken car to take into account all the needs of the driving schools, who have been giving feedback to them, including the need for correct feedback from the machine.
Up until now the force feedback has just not been good enough to learn to drive outside of a car, but with Sega's new technology they can accuratly reproduce feedback through the wheel and machine to simulate every instance, including ABS working, skidding and general driving conditions.
The machine will be able to grade you on how you drive in general and report on your driving, and more software packages and upgrades will be available in the form of more GD-Roms.
It will be made in limited numbers to see if there is enough interest from driving schools and whether it actually teachs people to drive or not.
**EDIT** It has now gone into full scale production! |
