The System 246 exists in 4 main revisions ([https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/Namco_System_246/256 Source]):
''Note: The first variant (System 246 "Driving") is built around COH-H30000 (see above)''
* The first variant (System 246 "Driving") is built around the Sony COH-H30000 (see above) and does not have a JAMMA interface
 
* 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)
''Note: A second and a third variant (System 246 Rev.A and Rev.B) are built around COH-H31100 (see above). In rare instances, Rev.A might contain COH-H30000 instead ([https://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/Namco_System_246/256 Source]).''
* 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
 
* 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
''Note: A fourth and final variant (System 246 Rev.C) is based on a fully custom board similar to System 256, but with separate EE and GS.''
