Support NeoGAF

Since pcsx2 does not support any of the PS2 based arcade boards with exclusive games and content someone formed it. Still WIP but it'll be here soon. And that doesn't suck

First time I heard about PS2 based arcade board. I thought only PS1 had it with the System 11.

Would be awesome to play Tekken 4 and Soul Calibur III: Arcade Edition on a Namco System 246 emulator.

Well good news then haha. That's what this is becoming

 

[Ceallach]

The Namco 246/256/147 games I assume?

I have a System 246 setup with AEUG vs Titans DX and Gundam vs Gundam Next kits. I do worry about what if the discs have issues in the future.

How do the system games run through MAME?

i was just playing SoulCalibur III: Arcade Edition last night. what a great mod.

 

[VGEsoterica]

MAME doesnt support PS2 based boards. Just PS1 ones

PS3 also had arcade based hardware.

yeah, its great

Never heard of that too. I always thought most arcade would have adopt to using X86 architecture (PC) to run 3D games when graphic cards got better.

 

[Gitaroo]

is there anything on that platform that didnt receive a home console port already?

Namco System 357

[NeverYouMind]

yeah, its great

It is damn good but I would be lying if I said it was the same as System 246's Arcade Edition.

Cool, it better than waiting another 10 years for MAME to start emulating it.

There's a PS3 based arcade board Namco used (System 357) which would be the last PlayStation based arcade board. It's not that custom compared to the previous boards, they literally planted a launch PS3 motherboard (complete with the PS2 EE/GS that never gets used by its games). The OS is slightly different which prevents retail games from booting but it does have an XMB interface of some sort.
Namco would later use their own custom PC design for future games.

You can use a modern frontend or the "Arcade" fork of Mame that only shows the arcade games and not anything else.
