KONAMI HORNET HARDWARE
[ BACK TO MAIN PAGE ] - [ KONAMI HARDWARE PAGE ]
 
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
CPU : PowerPC 403GA 32-bit RISC @ 64 MHz
Sound CPU : 68000 @ 16 MHz
Sound Chip : Ricoh RF5C400 PCM 32Ch, 44.1 kHz Stereo, 3D Effect Spatializer
3D DSP : Analog Devices ADSP-21062 (SHARC) 32-bit floating point DSP @ 36 MHz
Graphics Chips : 3DFX Voodoo 2 Pixel processor with 16meg RAM, 3DFX Voodoo 2 Texture processor with 32meg RAM
Interface : Jamma +
Notes : Can be run at either 15 kHz (low res) or 24 kHz (medium res). Looks very blocky in low res but means it is backwards compatible with older cabinets, but to get the best out of the system it really needs a meduim res monitor as the detail is very impressive.
There are no roms on the graphics boards, and there is a message "downloading data" on bootup.
Silent Scope Notes : Uses 2 graphics boards instead of the one, the master board handles the main screen of the game at medium res, the slave graphics board runs at low res and outputs to the gun scope.

Notes : Had a very unique control setup that used your knees/legs and arms, worked just like a real hang-glider. You also had two screens, one in front of you to show you the view ahead and one at 45 degrees below and slightly forward of you to show you the view below you.
