a bit of info: (based on what i have gatherd)
the Atomiswave was based on Sega's line of NAOMI arcade systems, which were basically very similar Dreamcast hardware, one of the main differences between AW and NAOMI was that the AW uses carts, not GD-roms/CD-roms, so it may load faster (probably) (and said to have a "better; graphical capability, not sure bout that though), but the sound suffers a lot (mostly bgm's), if you compare Guilty Gear XX NAOMI and Guilty Gear X 1.5 AW, you'll see slight differences in the quality of the music, but nothing serious (i didnt bother mentioning the original Guilty Gear X on the NAOMI becuz the game, even if it's in GD-rom format, didnt have Arranged music, but mostly Midi/Keyboard generated type of music)
there are two types of AW afaik, the first released models then the AW-net (again, im not sure, dont scream on me if im wrong), the AW-net has a broadband connection which lets you play and compare scores over with other AW's connected in different locations, just like what the people are are doing in KOF NeoWave, but, like most technologies, only Japan takes full advantage of this feature, so it's prolly useless outside Japan...
if you buy an AW these days, maybe the retailer will include Dolphin Blue (a very mediocre shooter game), but has pretty gfx
