i read awhile back in a press release article that Sammy had thier own haradware based around the PowerVR chipset... this is getting more interesting by the moment.

Sammy's Hardware was shown at the AMOA in Vegas in Sept. '02, showing a racing game, Dolphin Blue (MS rip off) and one other game, I can't remember. The software was only 20% complete or so and was not impressive. SNES games played better. Again, it was still early.
They have two types of systems, one uses a interchangeable cart like the Neo MVS, while the other one is dedicated.

Of course Sega's looking to make new arcade hardware. Naomi's old and they don't exactally have to worry about how hard it is to port things to Dreamcast now (sadly). But didn't i hear they were making something with Nintendo? The point is it wouldn't be stupid for Sega to make new hardware.

From what i can tell the Sami hardware IS NAOMI hardware but i assume Sega is not making that any more (seeing as they have Naomi2, are about to announce naomi 3 AND have Triforce (GC based) and Chrono H/W (X-box based) poised for release as well). It does seem feesable that sega would licence the technology to sammy though as it is reletavly cheap (it is only a DC with more RAM after all) and it does have very good 2d power and good enough 3D for the price point!
Sammi could quickly and cheaply develop for this system eliminating some of the risk and a lot of the cost of going for a bespoke (or needlssly powerful) system. I mean do you NEED system 246 for 2D?????

Atomiswave is really a modified Dreamcast. Sammy bought the remaining part of Sega's DC hardware to create this new hardware that was dubbed System X. All of the software titles so far are being developed by Dimps (the former LB/Garou team). Besides the 4 titles that were shown at the AOU, Dimps has been working on a 2D fighter for awhile now and Arc System Works is making a 2D shooter as well.

Shou-sama, what do you know about Sammy getting ex-SNK developing teams? I heard a while ago that AOF3's team was the responsable of Guilty Gear series ... is this true? Any you say about Garou/Last Blade team getting with Sammy too.
I need to know it! Maybe I will change to be a SNKNEOGEO and Sammy fan at same time
Aren't Dimps just the former NGPocket developer staff? (i count producers as non developer staff)
Nishiyama is President of Dimps
(Executive Producer RB2, Sonic Pocket Adventure, Producer of KOF 94-99, RB, RBS,)
Matsumoto is Director (Executive Producer of LB1,LB2, Garou MOW, Producer RB, RBS, RB2, Sonic Pocket Adventure)
Kawanao is Director (KOF99, SS3, NG Cup98)
Kohno is Director (Producer Sonic Pocket Adventure)

Didn't Dimps do Sonic Advance as well? I'm pretty sure. Anyway, about the mention of Sega available arcade hardware. Sega has Naomi(2), Triforce(Gamecube based), Chihiro(Xbox based), System 256(PS2 based) available for arcades. Triforce is already out and in arcades. The only title using it however I believe is Virtua Strikers which is pretty much the Gamecube version of the game. Aside from that, I think Sega has pretty much had all their arcade releases on Naomi hardware.
