The capcom I/O has the power to run the Naomi or Triforce or Chihiro hardware but not both the system and the GD ROM drive.

Generally the software will run you at minimum $50 for the easier and common titles to $400 for the more sought after titles. Be prepared to pay.

This type of system based hardware can be very expensive but worth it if you have the right games. With a Pc you can emulate some of this hardware but the real deal is going to give you perfect performance unlike a pc unless you have a pretty high end pc and flawless emulation.
