The Namco System N2 is an arcade platform developed by
Namco and
NVIDIA. It runs on an
nForce2-based
motherboard developed by NVIDIA. It was announced that the system would be based on a NVIDIA
GeForce graphics card, using the
OpenGL API.[1][2]
The Namco System ES2 PLUS and Namco System ES3 run
Windows Embedded 7 as their operating system. It runs in an arcade game cabinet designed by
Bandai Namco Games.
The Namco System BNA1 is a relatively new arcade board that runs
Windows 10 IoT. A less powerful version of System BNA1, known as System BNA1 LITE has also been created for less demanding games.
Development
Because the N2, ES1(A2), ES2 Plus and ES3 are based on
PC architecture, development for it and porting from it is relatively easy and inexpensive.
