Arcade Boards

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-30000
    • Based on B-chassis GH-004 together with it's daughterboard (GD-011?)
  • COH-31000
    • Based on C-chassis (GH-006?) together with it's daughterboard (GD-013?)
  • COH-31100
    • Based on C-chassis GH-006 without it's daughterboard
