Guys



This would be awesome if it were true but I've never seen anything definitively saying yes or no.

Nice...thanks!



Per:

I am led to believe, based on this comment:



"The Maple bus ports were designed to allow the Naomi to be compatible with the Dreamcast VMU memory card and control pads. Some games like Capcom?s Marvel vs Capcom 2 allowed players to connect a Dreamcast pad and VMU holding saves made at home containing unlocked characters and costumes to then play in the arcade. The game could also be played from the control pad. Not all games can be played from a DC pad by default, the game has to be programmed for it."



that it will work with MvC2. I'll probably just try it (once I get an MvC2 cart) and see what happens.

Ok, here's a good way to accomplish the DC pad on Naomi:

2x 12v fan connectors per controller.

That connector is ideal, certainly, but where can it be purchased in small quantities?



3-pin fan connectors, while not ideal, appear to at least work and are easy to get a hold of.
