From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 86.142.81.177 (talk) at 15:25, 12 July 2018 (→List of System ES4 games). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The Namco System N2 arcade platform runs on an nForce2-based motherboard that NVIDIA developed. It is based on a NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, using the OpenGL API.

Both Namco System N2 and Namco System ES1 run the Linux operating system that is based on Debian 4.0 ("etch").[1]

The Namco System ES2 PLUS and Namco System ES3 run Windows Embedded 7 as their operating system. It runs in an arcade game racing cabinet designed by Bandai Namco 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.
