WTD: HOTD 2 rom board.

Yeah, you'd definitely better have a gun-cab for it, or else its gonna be a pain to try and get working. I was gonna buy a House of the Dead 1 kit to use with my supergun via a Model 2 - Jamma convertor that I made...then I found out you need to connect all these sensors and shit to your monitor. Good luck with your search though...I've never seen a HOTD2 cart for sale myself.
Just out of curiosity, how much $ can I expect to drop on a Naomi shooter cab, whether it be HOTD2, or even Maze of Kings (standard size cab, not deluxe)? For that matter, HOTD1 as well. I saw one for sale on ebay a while back, but it was $3500 (brand-new though)

Not sure, as I don't think any of the shooters were sold in Naomi Uni uprights in the US, like this:
My HOTD2 upright has a uniquely cased ROM (grey metal, not white plastic) board running BIOS 21330, not any of the standard releases. It has no Naomi splash screen, and simply says 'Now booting: HOTD2' or some such message in the standard test-screen font.
I can play confidential mission on it by hooking it up to a 21576G BIOS GD-Rom rig, so the rest of the hardware is compatible. I actually leave the 21576G BIOS GD-Rom setup outside the cabinet and use power, audio, and USB extension cords.
However, my HOTD ROM board, when placed in a standard, white Naomi mobo running a 21576 or 21577 BIOS, does not boot, it says the cartridge is unacceptable.
If you find a ROM, you may need a different BIOS as well -- if you are looking for the 21330 BIOS, I'm sure we can arrange to dump a copy. I do not know if there are any differences between the HOTD2 metal-cased mobo other than the BIOS, because I have never swapped the 21330 BIOS out onto a modern white-cased mobo.
I have a Death Crimson OX board as well, and it is uncased as the HOTD2 ROM is, but I haven't been able to test it yet.
If you get board with your MOTK boardset, I would gladly trade you some other naomi soft or PCB, feel free to let me know.
I have access to another Death Crimson OX boardset potentially if you are interested.
I can post pictures if my description is hard to follow.

There was a HOTD2 board set on Yahoo a few days back, but listed as "junk":

Even though Death Crimson OX is mean to be not that great, I might be willing to buy it for the right price....
Got any pics of your cab? I take it its not a Naomi Uni, but a part Woodie jobbie?
I know of someone on this board who can supply MOTK disc & chip for under $300 inc.
Ahh, yes, the infamous 'junk treatment' 
Anyway, here's my HOTD2, it needs a marquee due to the damage you see here. The Death Crimson cart is wrapped in bubble wrap up top, I hope to test this week. I'll let you know what ROM it runs on.
I will ask about another Death Crimson OX cart as well as a HOTD2 ROM for Ace.
I am interested in the MOTK for my setup, that would bring me up to a full set not including Lupin III: The Shooting. I have the guns and I/O boards for Ninja Assault to but have not yet implemented them, I do plan to run that in my Uni cab.
The monitor is a 29" Nanao, and it's fascinating -- it's facing upwards, and the image is displayed in a mirror, to make the action seem farther away, so the game is mirror-imaged on the monitor. The cool thing about the monitor it seems to be hard-wired for a reverse image display! I hooked up a regular board, plus Marvel Vs. Capcom and it booted with a reversed video image, obviously looking correct in the reflection.

I'm also interested in HOTD2, heres my cab:
I just replaced the gun cases on mine as the cab was off a site & they were a bit scratched up.
My CM chip is kinder dedicated as its in the dimm uncased & you have to strip the dimm to remove it.
