Naomi Net DIMM Firmware upgrade GD-rom

[mookie3three]

Has anyone got one of these? That I can borrow? Or knows someone who has one, or that I can send my Net DIMM to?

This is to upgrade a Net DIMM to Firmware 3.03 or higher so it can actually be used to Net Boot. Mine is only on 2.06

I also have VF4 FT, so to play that too would be great.

I'm in Australia, so the closer the better.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

I guess you can also update the firmware via ethernet cable, but for that you would probably need a new Bios too...

You can only do this if you have a version 3.03 or above. BTW I have a Naomi 2 with EPR-23605C bios.

That bother's me aswell. I think i will need the same service soon.

Maybe someone will be willing to create some kind of upgrade GD-Rom rental system,lol.

It's a real pity there isn't a way of getting a burnt firmware disc to work.

The problem is, you can't use the method described in the video with an older firmware version, like 2.06 for example.

The method you posted work only for 3.03 and above.
