My intention was only to clear that misconception up. Thanks for the extra info about what the Aurora really is. <br /><br />Which titles were released on the Aurora out of interest?

about Triforce/Chihiro conectio...good read, thanks.<br />about Triforce/Chihiro conection - it is, SP have same network subsystem (AMD AU1500 based) but integrated on main board.<br /><br />simply speaking SP is Naomi with integrated:<br />+ flash ROM board, same as later cartridge games like Dynamite Deka EX or Melty Blood Actress Again<br />+ network board, same as used in Triforce or Chihiro<br />+ CF card interface<br />+ IO chip, game controls wired directly to main board<br />- JVS host MCU was removed, because of ^^^above^^^<br />so SP is later and cost optimized/reduced Naomi iteration.<br /><br />Aurora... it is completely different beast, developed by SI Electronics Inc, former Sammy subsidiary.<br />it was cheap single chip solution, mainly targeted for pachinko and similar gambling/redemption machines.<br />its not known if there was developed "regular" arcade games for this platform.<br />MetalliChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633422167155960655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-37922551656915967492017-03-19T21:19:33.799+00:002017-03-19T21:19:33.799+00:00Great read.

Hmm...what could it be? Yeah, using a GD-ROM drive alone isn't enough for me to be honest. Chihiro and Triforce are their own thing. The Lindbergh on the other hand, as the true successor to Naomi, now that would be interesting. I did consider a quick piece on the other arcade hardware out their that birthed games that would eventually wing up on the DC; Model 2/3, CSP2 etc etc. Maybe someday...The 1 Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669716454144132046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-80609417045858777362017-03-17T14:11:37.728+00:002017-03-17T14:11:37.728+00:00Great work Ross, though there is one stone you lef...Great work Ross, though there is one stone you left unturned in this feature. I shall endeavour to cover it in another article in the near future.<br /><br />Furthermore, you could argue that Chihiro and Triforce are semi-close second cousins to the Dreamcast family, since the both used the GD-ROM system?
