Konami's System 573 - Everything you wanted to know about it!

Konami has some of the most well known games in the gaming industry, from Metal Gear Solid for consoles and DanceDanceRevolution for arcades... But what hardware actually ran the latter? Is it complex electronic voodoo or something far more familiar to us all? And what is with the 573 number being everywhere?!
UPDATE: Turns out that the digital board RCA plugs are self-terminating ARCnet ports! For those unaware (including myself), ARCnet was a rival format to the likes of Ethernet and Token Ring networks during the early days of desktop computer networking. You might have gathered it did not do super well, but it turns out that ARCnet found it's niche in industrial automation as it was very reliable and predictable. Now, I can't yet say the actual protocol is ARCnet, just that the physical layer of the OSI model is, but it's entirely possible the FPGA on the digital board has an ARCnet controller built into the bitstream that is uploaded at boot!

    Addendum: Firstly a thanks to Tweak who supplied images of their IIDX 8th style cabinet! And so sorry I missed you out on the credits screen 🤦‍♂ Secondly, I made a mistake with DDR Solo's networking. I said it uses a ring topology like you'd get in a token ring network (similar to what Sega used for the model series and the Naomi) - This isn't correct, it's actually a multidrop bus more like how the JVS port works with RS485. (Thanks to Hydreigon for pointing this out).

Theres also the security cart but Im not sure if that requires rewriting. However I am unable to do any of this properly as I lack correct equipment to do it for a service. However if a tool does get released I will make sure to cover it!

    I had to come back to this video to say this. Somehow we're all sorta wrong about those arcade games not being able to run on a real PS1 or rather PS1 emulator. I was messing around with the app that runs Simpsons Bowling on the Simpsons Arcade1up cabinet and its running a Baby Phoenix game with Duckstation. A Konami game made for their arcade hardware running on what is seemingly a simple PS1 emulator, something that should be completely impossible in the first place just like the Wipeout port to the 573 you showcased.

    Hola. Sin saber cómo se ve la reparación o poder diagnosticar otras partes de la placa, es muy difícil saber dónde buscar. El BIOS no comprueba la RAM de RTC, por lo que si está recibiendo "Ree restablecimiento de hardware" en la pantalla, podría ser otra cosa. Necesitaría ver qué chip tiene el error, por ejemplo, "18E BAD". Si es el juego que dice que el RTC es malo, entonces es posible que deba probar el RTC, ya que podría haber fallado de nuevo. También perdona esta traducción si se lee mal, ¡dessafortunadamente no hablo español!
