== 357C (GECR-2500) [[JTP-00x|JTP-001]] ==
The Namco System 357C is the exact same thing as the 369, although it has no USB hub type interface,only a single USB cable. Everything else remains the same<br>
This system was released a year before the 369 and was mainly used for the Gundam and Dragon Ball Z games, also has a separate revision with no H050/H057 I/O and has a USB hub used for the Taiko No Tatsujin and rail shooting games.

* Note the motherboard is based on PS3 slim, the position of the connectors matches with [[JTP-00x|JTP-001]]
* Note the 3 USB connectors (not present in PS3 slim models), this means there is a "USB HUB" inside the case (<s>or 1 of the USB connectors is only a "dummy" to feed power to USB devices with no data communication</s>), either in a separated board or integrated in one of the JVS board or IO board  ''It has been confirmed that there is indeed a USB Hub inside of the System 369 hardware.''  Just like the 357C, another revision with no H057 USJ I/O exists only used for AK48 Sailor Zombie. These systems may have a overclocked RSX and memory compared to its 357 counterparts.

= Namco System 357 JVS and I/O boards =
I/O board is connected to JVS board, the inputs of the I/O board (buttons, stick, credit slot) are sent to the JVS board and then to the PS3 board by a USB cable. Video signal from "PS3 board" to "JVS board" is sent with a "AV MultiOUT" cable, and then to the cabinet display using a VGA connector

JVS, or Jamma Video Standard (sometimes even called JAMMA 2), is an updated version of JAMMA created in the late 90’s by an special sub-committee consisting of the major arcade game manufacturers. http://www.jamma.or.jp/

JVS specifies the type of connectors to use for video (HD-15, commonly known as a VGA), audio (RCA) and power (JST VL), in addition to the communications protocol between the game board and the I/O board.  In contrast to (old) JAMMA, JVS concentrates I/O functions in a separate board.

See: http://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/JVS and http://jvspac.kirurg.org/

----
Namco System357 boards connectors:
*I/O board (at top, from left to right)
**1 connector (in white) with 24 pins
**8 dipswitches (in black/red) -> (2nd dip is for enabling 31KHz)
**1 connector (in white) with 10 pins
*JVS board (at bottom, from left to right)
**USB (JV I/O JAMMA) interface
**DC IN +5v (to power Namco board,only used for the 357A and 357B)
**VGA (video out)
**RCA white (left speaker out)
**RCA red (right speaker out)

----
*Note the references to system357 in "Deadstorm Pirates" and "Razing Storm" manuals.pdf, and the pictures of the connectors that can help to identify motherboards/models
**Picture in razing storm manual.pdf - (section 5.5 "inserting the dongle")... the connectors matches with a system357b (VER001 motherboard)... but there is no JVS and I/O boards
**It seems the newer system357 models (system357c ?) doesnt have/use a JVS and I/O boards, has been replaced by a "USB I/O PCB" (in page 50 and 94 in razing storm manual and the photo of "357b/c connection diagram" above), with a hardware identifyer "US1001" and/or "USIO01"
