Didn't know that.

yup.
- Some machines uses N64/Gamecube based
hardware
Did they?? I didn't know that either.
- Saturn had a boardset called ST-V, but it was
cartridge based
Yup, nicknamed the "Titan" arcade board due to it's ability to handle a fair
amount of polygons (500,000 per second) and lots of sprites without slowdown.
www.system16.com has tons of info on all kinds of
boards. You'll loose 2
or 3 hours of your life, but very pleasant ones :o)
Thanks for that link. Will go and lose some hours of my life this weekend... its a bit
dangerous now as I need an early night.
