Nvidia and Linux to Power Namco Arcade Games

Posted by Zonk on from the arcades-and-pcs-meet-halfway dept.

jshriverWVU writes "Seems the next-gen Arcade hardware for Namco is going to be running Linux and using video hardware from NVidia. The first game to use the system will be CounterStrike Neo, a version of the popular game currently only available in Japanese arcades. The official press release is also available."
