Hello everyone, l just installed a sega naomi 1 with netboot raspberry pi mod.The board appears to be functional,voltage is within norms,the raspberry pi is functional ,l am seeing the lcd screen on the pi fired up with the options to scroll and select game to flash to the netboot dimm.There is no visual, the lcd screen connected to the vga out installed boots up with the acer monitor logo then goes to blank with a no signal error.
I researched online, and came to some conclusions, nothing is wrong with the board physically, but the board doesnt like the lcd monitor or vice versa.Given the age of the naomi itself , it doesn't display on modern monitors, but older lcd screens or CRT monitors.
From what l gathered ,
1.l can find a older lcd monitor from the early 00s or
2.Use a RGB to VGA adapter to convert the RGB signals from the jamma harness to a signal the lcd monitor will possibly accept(l have used the same adapter for my neogeo MVS 1 slot and my CPS2 board with no issues)
What do you guys think?Are there other workarounds? Would using the RGB to VGA adapter resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
