357A (GECR-1100) COK-002[edit | edit source]

System357A GECR-1100 (Tekken 6)

Only two games used this system, those being Tekken 6 (2007) and Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion (2008) (S357-07J).

357B (GECR-1500) VER-001[edit | edit source]

System 357B (GECR-1500) inside picures :

The second revision of the 357 line of systems, Tekken 6 and mostly Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion were released on this model (S357B-08J)

Another model exists that doesn’t use the H036 USJ pcb but has one or two USB ports, this model was used for DeadStorm Pirates, DeadStorm Pirates Special Edition, and Razing Storm (S357B-08E)

357C (GECR-2500) JTP-001[edit | edit source]

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

This system was released a year before the 369 and was mainly used for the Gundam Maxi Boost series and Dragon Ball Zenkai Battle Royal games (S357C-10J).

A separate revision with no H050/H057 USJ I/O and has a the same exact USB hub found in the 369 and in this case is used for the Taiko No Tatsujin series and rail shooting games (Razing Storm, DeadStorm Pirates (SE) ,and DE4D export versions) (S357C-11E).

  • Note the motherboard is based on PS3 slim, the position of the connectors matches with JTP-001
  • Note the 3 USB connectors (not present in PS3 slim models), this means there is a "USB HUB" inside the case (or 1 of the USB connectors is only a "dummy" to feed power to USB devices with no data communication), 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. This system was only used for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (2011) and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Unlimited (2012) (S369-11J).
  • Just like the 357C, another revision with no H057 USJ I/O exists only used for AK48 Sailor Zombie and Japanese version of Dark Escape 4D (S369-11E). These systems may have a overclocked RSX and memory compared to its 357 counterparts.

Namco System 357 JVS and I/O boards[edit | edit source]

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"

JVS to JAMMA converters[edit | edit source]

Used to connect JVS devices to JAMMA cabinets (older), home made cabinets, or for service/repair purposes. This converters are not present in Namco cabinets but are listed here as usefull tools or related hardware

Capcom I/O JAMMA converter
Capcom IO JAMMA converter.jpg
  1. Power output (supplies power to the JVS board)
  2. VGA in (video, standard or high resolution, no medium resolution)
  3. USB in (for controls)
  4. RCA in (audio)
  5. Volume adjustment
  6. Capcom kick harness (unlike Sega IOs, Capcom IO does not use "unmapped" JAMMA pins for extra buttons, you must use this connector instead. Also, you connect 3P and 4P controls here)
  7. JAMMA (connect your cabinet here)
