Overview[edit | edit source]
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 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 SSBUS controller
- Missing IC205 (digital video encoder)
- A special connector is installed on normally unpopulated pads
