Namco System N2
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.
Both Namco System N2 and Namco System ES1 use the Linux operating system that is based on Debian.
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, ES2 Plus and ES3 are based on PC architecture, development for it and porting from it is relatively easy and inexpensive.Specifications
