/***************************************************************************** Namco NamCam ------------ /------------------------\ | NAMCO /---\ | | | O | | | NAMCAM \---/ | \------------------------/ This is a CCD camera used on Gunmen Wars and Race-On and is mounted into the upper bezel above the monitor in front of the player. Both games run on Namco Super System 23 hardware. The camera has a 5 pin connector. That connector is wired to a 6 pin connector J6 on the V198 EMI PCB on the outside of the metal box housing the Super System 23 game boards. The pinout of J6 is... 1 - +5V 2 - GND 3 - VIDEO (color composite video) 4 - GND 5 - NO CONNECT 6 - SCREEN (just tied to GND on the PCB) Connector J6 eventually connects to the GMEN board to the VPX-3220 IC. When the game is started the game takes a snapshot of the player's face which is added on top of the game graphics by the GMEN PCB. If the NamCam is not connected the game will hang near the end of the SH2 initialisation/loading and will not go in-game. If the camera works enough to get the game booted but doesn't work in-game the board will hang on the 'taking the photo' screen then eventually reboot. The camera PCB is made by Toshiba. The PCB is mounted to the underside of the NamCam.
