= Overview =
Several arcade systems have been built around the PS2 hardware. While some systems use almost stock PS2 hardware (the Konami Python 2 going as far as cramming an entire unmodified SCPH-50000 console into the arcade chassis), other systems use a more custom approach with later Namco systems being based on entirely custom motherboards.
Sony provided some PS2 chassis specifically for use in arcade systems. These are:
* COH-H30000
** Based on B-chassis GH-004 together with it's daughterboard (GD-011)
** Differences compared to normal retail GH-004 boards include (but are not necessariliy limited to):
*** Special [[MechaCon]] version (CXP102064-'''651R''')
*** Special [[SysCon]] version on the daughterboard (1V86)
*** Special arcade BIOS
*** Missing expansion bay connector
*** Missing one of two [[CDVD Drive]] connectors
*** Missing IC205 (digital video encoder)
*** Missing [[Drivers|Driver ICs]] for the [[CDVD Drive]]
*** Missing some more small components
*** A special connector is installed on normally unpopulated pads
* COH-H31000
** Based on C-chassis (GH-006?) together with it's daughterboard (GD-013?)
* COH-H31100
** Based on C-chassis GH-006 '''without''' it's daughterboard (the daughterboard's functionality including SysCon is now provided by another board inside the arcade system)
** Differences compared to normal retail GH-006 boards include (but are not necessariliy limited to):
*** Special MechaCon version (CXP102064-'''651R''')
*** Special arcade BIOS (A 000 010)
*** Missing expansion bay connector
*** Missing [[CDVD Drive]] connector
*** Missing [[DEV9C]]
*** Missing IC205 (digital video encoder)
*** A special connector is installed on normally unpopulated pads

The System 246 exists in 4 main revisions ([https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/Namco_System_246/256 Source]):
*Main CPU: MIPS III R5900-based "Emotion Engine", 64-bit RISC operating at 294.912 MHz (Overclocking to 299 MHz on System 256), with 128-bit SIMD capabilities
* The first variant (System 246 "Driving") is built around the Sony COH-H30000 (see above) and does not have a JAMMA interface
*Sub CPU: MIPS II R3000A IOP with cache at 33.8688 MHz
* A second variant (System 246 Rev.A) is still built around the Sony COH-H30000 (see above), but has different Namco boards and a JAMMA interface (except in the "Gun" variant)
*System memory: 32 MB RIMM 3200 32-bit dual-channel (2x 16-bit) RDRAM (Direct Rambus DRAM) @ 400 MHz, 3.2 GB/s peak bandwidth
* A third variant (System 246 Rev.B) is usually built around the Sony COH-H31100 (see above), although rare cases of it being built around a COH-H30000 are known. It also features a lot of other changes
*Graphics: "Graphics Synthesizer" operating at 147.456 MHz
* A fourth variant (System 246 Rev.C) is based on a fully custom board (similar, but not identical to System 256, and still with separate EE and GS) and comes in a much smaller enclosure
*Graphics memory: 4MB eDRAM (8MB on System 256)
*Sound: "SPU1+SPU2"
*Media: CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Hard Disk Drive, 64 MBit 3.3V NAND FlashROM Security Dongle

Note: Namco System 147 is similar to 246 but does not use a DVD-ROM drive, instead it has ROM chips on the system board.
