I'm not really interested in atomisware or anything but I've just got one question I'd really like to know the answer too, well, two;
1) Is the port on the bottom of atomisware games the same as the GDROM on the DC connector?
2) If so, atomisware games plugged into DC > Does it work?

I don't think, if we can compare , Atomiswave is more near than Ps2 hardware.

You are probably confusing with Naomi hardware who is almost strictly similar to the Dreamcast architectury.

Atomiswave is a striped down Naomi made by Sammy to make them cheaper then a Naomi.

They are not a ps2 in any way.

It is also nicely fully JAMMA and has a VGA output so you can play either in high or low resolution without the stupid number of sub boards and PSUs you need for a Naomi set up.

It didn't seem to last very long though. The only Atomiswave game I ever cared about was Metal Slug 6.

My NAOMI2 has a VGA out directly on the board without the need for a sub-board too.

You need other boards for it to work though, you cant just hook it up to a cabinet without the IO boards and such (The Naomi 2 that is)

Atomiswave was made with left over Dreamcast components. It features less memory then the Naomi but features the same architecture although stripped down somewhat.

Basically it's an Dreamcast retail console with two Sammy custom chips added
