need Naomi SDK and more information to port a dreamcast Game

hey guys a friend of me will port his DC game as arcade Version to Sega Naomi/2 can anybody give us more informations?

we need the SDK or a DevKit

 

It would be awesome to see indie/homebrew efforts on the NAOMI, especially now since it's easy to play unsigned code thanks to netboot and other efforts. However up till now the Naomi SDK has not surfaced publicly unfortunately.

 

bad news for you - there is no Naomi SDK on the net.
you won't be able to find any pictures or even mentions about Naomi 1/2 SDK or DevKit.
nothing.

 

I have been curious if there were any out there. Maybe they just used the dreamcast devkit to write the game code and then transcribe it later to a necessary format. Maybe who knows prolly not though.

 

I think there no leaked SDKs because:
- not many game companies developed arcade games
- most of them is Sega inhouse studios
- most (or all?) is Japanese

but SDK/DevKits definitely must exists, because arcade games uses a lot of additional devices like: drive boards, link boards, JVS boards with very different inputs (controls) and outputs (lamps) connected, and many others.
any of this hardware can't be connected to Dreamcast DevKit. so how then gamedev.s made and tested theirs games ?

 

Yeah i was just thinking that maybe they could have sent out some hevily modified dreamcast devs with an extra i/o cable card specific for arcades. But that would be farfeched to say the least.

 

Maybe I'm missing something, as I know little to nothing about arcades, but I've read that Naomi (1) shares the same hardware as the Dreamcast, so I don't see a reason for them to use a different SDK...
There may have been additional libraries specifically for the Naomi, but then again, I find that unlikely unless it had something not available in the DC.
