"atomiswave question" , posted Thu 27 May 20:53

ho ho ho and this man is planning to buy his atomiswave soon, but of course he had to ask his wiser and more knowledgable friends at the Madman's cafe. After asking people like trieu(snk-capcom)and the toby (behind system 16) they have both said that the atomiswave is capable of handling 2d graphics hundreds of times better than the CPS III (wow?) So i guess it really is up to the develepors to make use of this and spend time (and money) on their games, which might not be likely. (seeing as how much time capcom worked on SF III, but how it failed to capture the mainstream audience.)

Now on to the meat of my thread, the questions....

1) is the atomiswave dreamcast based or naomi based?
2) is the atomiswave more powerful than the dreamcast? (i heard the memory is twice as much, yet a little bit less than naomi.)
3) and finally, how much can the carts hold?

ok that is all

Thank you very much. :)

I would reccomend you to wait until they start selling carts individually (right now, you have to buy board + cart)...

1)it's DC-based.
2) bullshit. it's the same as the Dreamcast. no more, no less.
3) 1024MB. if i remember correctly. need to check up.

so in fact the atomiswave is more powerful than the dreamcast based on those specs. The only difference lies in the main memory. (V-RAM etc.) which comes in handy for 2d games.

According to the flyer from the System16 page, that's 1024 Mbits, 128 MBytes -- the same as Neo-Geo. (GIGASHOCK!)
