Specifics

  • Network wiring (LAN) from the factory for online play.
  • Aimed at Naomi / JVS (31 kHz).

Technical notes

  • Monitor sync: tri-sync (15/24/31 kHz) — aimed at Naomi / 31 kHz.
  • I/O: JVS (modern arcade standard) on top of JAMMA, + factory LAN wiring for online play (ALL.Net / networked Naomi titles).
  • Power: a Sega "candy" block → Sega candy cab PSU.
  • Monitor chassis: adjustments/recap like the Nanao MS9.
  • Position in the line: the most modern City (2000), designed for the JVS/network era — close to the Blast City in terms of 31 kHz versatility.

How this space is used

Spotted a wrong value, an outdated procedure, a chip reference that does not match your board? Say so here, with what you observed (model, board revision, serial number, measurement). Every report is cross-checked against a source before anything changes — an unverifiable correction is published as “reported by …, not cross-checked” rather than silently applied.

Reading is open to everyone; posting requires signing in with Discord. Reports from the wiki's declared reviewers are handled first; anyone else's are read too, but go through a human before anything is changed.
