KONAMI ARCADE HARDWARE

Konami Arcade Hardware Overview
Some sort of explanation is necessary for the Konami section of this project compared to the Sega, Namco and Atari sections of the site, as it is quite different to the others...

Sega & Namco more or less unified all of their games since the early 80's under "Systems" - these were simply the same base hardware with different program roms, and lasted them over a great deal of time, and meant minimal development costs and general ease of use...
Konami on the other hand seemed to go about things in a totally different manner, what some people are calling a "what CPU have we got a lot of today" kind of setup.
There are very few specific systems until fairly recently, most of the games being custom hardware and different configurations almost from game to game, this make cataloging them incredibly difficult. Where not in systems the games are now sorted into video hardware, as this has much more bearing on how konami made their games, i.e. very video chip orientated, much like modern pcs are.

There are still quite a few games are in the Unknown Hardware section at the moment, and there are a lot of games in the Power PC Hardware page, as it is known that they have Power PC CPU's, but little or nothing else is known about them.
