So question on this, no rush, I fired up Shikigami no Shiro II on my NAOMI setup at home, gives me an error saying the game isn't supported by my motherboard. It's got a Japanese G Rev 21576 BIOS in it, and ran GGXX:AC before I got it. I can't do too much experimentation, because all I've got is a Capcom I/O, and it doesn't power the motherboard and GDROM at the same time properly. All hints point to that my setup should run the game fine.
As for the Capcom I/O, I know I need some work there. I'm reading the other threads a bit too, but I'd like recommendations for the best setup. My cabinet is currently powered on an ATX power supply, and besides thru JAMMA from the I/O, there are no other power sources. Everything all together it's starting to seem like it's more trouble than it's worth.
G Rev BIOS doesn't run Shikigami no Shiro II/Capcom I/O Help

There's a vertical setting? I haven't seen that on any of the DIP charts online.
Aaand actually with a bit of fiddling, I got it to test menu. See what you mean about vertical there. We'll see, DJ Infinity suggested a newer rev. EEPROM, so I might pick that up, if anything eventually for Exzeal. Question, if I can get it to power sometimes by hotplugging the motherboard (i.e. turn on the cab, then plug power into mobo+GDROM) is that unsafe?

I had similar problems with various games. I was going through my stash of games to determine which ones were supported on US bios.
I got to V-NBA and got the "not compatible w/ main board message"
I know for sure my V-NBA will run on US BIOS.
This happened with a couple other games as well.
Not sure if there are some persistant setting being stored in ROM/RAM that would cause this to happen.
Like you, I finally got the various games working by cycling power and removing and reseating ROM board.
Not sure, but I think if you hold the test and service button on start up this causes some kind af hard reset.
Wish I know the exact sequence.
If you try to run a verticial game with cabinet set to horizontal you'll get a different message. Something like "gamecabinet settings incorrect" not the "not compatible w/ main board message"
I got the "not compatible w/ main board message" alot when I was swapping games around alot. Eventually they came up and ran. I wish I knew what the secret decoder ring was to keep this from happening???
(Because it is very frustrating when it does happen) :smt013
