In this the finale part or our MEGA CD / SEGA CD series, We'll attempt to get the console to read games discs. Previously we got the console up and running again and it was playing audio CDs fine but it had some trouble with games discs. We narrowed it down to two CD cache chips from looking at the schematics. The replacement chips have arrived, so lets see if we can fix it.
If your interested in the color enhanced ROM of Finale Fight CD, check out the video made by the creator, Pyron & check out some of his other vids & give him a sub.

In this video we'll be repairing two SEGA NAOMI systems. Since this is my first arcade project, we'll have a bit extra to do. The NAOMI also uses the JVS standard, not JAMMA, so we'll have to address that before we can test the systems, find potential faults and attempt repairs.
