Sega Naomi

Background
The Sega Naomi (acronym for New Arcade Operation Machine Idea) is the succesor of the Sega Model 3 arcade system board. First revealed in 1998, it is an arcade development of the Dreamcast home console, since the NAOMI and Dreamcast share the same components. The difference between the Dreamcast and Naomi, however, is that the Dreamcast uses GD-ROM's for media while the NAOMI features 168MB of solid-state ROMs or GD-ROMs using a custom DIMM board and a GD-ROM drive. Unlike other Sega arcade platforms, it was available for other game publishers. Games were published for the system during 1998-2008, making it one of the most longest-running arcade sytems.
