Sega Chihiro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sega Chihiro system is a Sega arcade system board based on the architecture of the Microsoft Xbox.

The Chihiro system shares some features with its Xbox cousin, notably the 733MHz Intel Pentium III-class CPU and the nVidia XChip graphics processor. Unlike the Xbox, Chihiro has the ability to receive RAM upgrade modules in configurations from 64MB upwards (some examples have 512MB). Its primary media source is provided by the Sega GD-ROM system, as opposed to the DVD-ROM used by the Xbox.

Because of the near-identical configuration of Chihiro and the Xbox, it is theoretically easy to port software between the two. In practice, however, difficulties have been experienced due to the few differences. For example, the Xbox port of OutRun 2 briefly ran into trouble due to the differing memory capacities - the Chihiro version runs in 512MB; the coders had to compress this for a 64MB system. Surprisingly, this was achieved with little compromise.
