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-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 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
    • 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
