Sega's System C-2 is a Jamma PCB used in arcade games. This hardware is based closely on the Sega Genesis hardware, the main CPU, the sound processor and the graphics processor being the same^{[citation needed]}. The CPU clock speed is slightly faster (10MHz instead of 8Mhz), there is no Z80, and the sound chip is driven by the CPU. The DAC is also replaced by a uPD7759, the same as the System 16 hardware. 17 known games were created for the System C-2 hardware.
