(Correct me if I'm wrong with the name of this system)

That's the name of the new arcade system made by SNK Playmore. Does anyone know the specs of it? I wonder in what time will it be (around) emulated... if it ever be...

it's about the same as DreamCast hardware; as such, emulation of it isn't such a far-fetched idea at all, allthough I think it would be better if they waited for a while. I mean, would you still get the ps2 version/play it at an arcade if you can dld it? That's why I think it'd be better if they waited; otherwise SNK might go down for a second, and final time.

No, the Name is "Atomiswave" and its made by Sammy and Sega not SNK.

The specs are...

Big Thanks for the specs, Katsuya.
About the emulation Samor, I just wanted to know is it possable. If there is a game on that system and on PS2 (KOF:MI) I'm not sure if Kof gonna be in PAL in Europe. The last Kof on Playstation consoles was kof 95 for PAL. All others were out in NSTC.
