The era of bespoke arcade hardware died in the late 90s really. They couldn’t really keep up with consoles / PC with a declining market. By the early 2000s arcades were mostly console derived, beyond the Sega trio of Naomi (Dreamcast), Chihiro (Xbox) and Triforce (Gamecube), Konami and Namco mostly used PlayStation 2 derived hardware. By the late 00’s we were mostly looking at PC based stuff.
