The Triforce is an arcade system board developed jointly by Namco, Sega, and Nintendo, with the first games appearing in 2002. The name "'''''Triforce'''''" is a reference to Nintendo's ''Legend of Zelda'' series of games, and symbolized the three companies' involvement in the project. The system hardware is based on the Nintendo GameCube with several differences, like provisions for add-ons such as Sega's GD-ROM system and upgradeable RAM modules.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sega_arcade_system_boards#Triforce Wikipedia Triforce Entry]</ref>

== Hardware Specification ==

CPU : IBM Power PC "Gekko" 
Sound DSP : Custom Macronix 16bit DSP @ 81MHz 
Main RAM : Main Memory 48 MB MoSys 1T-SRAM, Approximately 10ns Sustainable Latency. 
RAM : Type 1: 512MB 
RAM : Type 3: 512/1GB 
Graphics Engine : "Flipper" (Custom ATI/Nintendo) 
Color : 24-bit Color, 24-bit Z Buffer. 
Hardware Features : Fog, Subpixel Anti-aliasing, 8 Hardware lights, Alpha Blending, Virtual Texture Design, Multi-texture, Mapping/Bump/Environment Mapping, MIPMAP, Bilinear/Trilinear/Anisotropic Filtering, Real-time Texture Decompression (S3TC), HW 3-line Deflickering filter<ref>[http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=545 System16 Triforce Entry]</ref>.

== Type ==
Three Types of the Triforce hardware exist:

'''Type 1 (older rectangular metal box without built-in DIMM board)''' 
This unit is used for earlier GD-ROM based games. It is not possible to use the NAND Type media board with this model. Not compatible with Type 3 games.

'''Type 3 (newer square metal box version with built in GDROM controller)''' 
This unit is used for later GD-ROM based games. It is possible to use the NAND Type media board with this model. Not compatible with Type 1 games.

'''NAND Type''' 
This unit is by default has a NAND ROM media board. This is used for [[Mario Kart Arcade GP]] 1 & [[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2|2]] and [[F-Zero AX Monster Ride]].

==Regions==

===Changing Region===

Boot up the Triforce with nothing connected except for the satellite / netboot pic security chip.
Go into the test menu using the test button go down to system information and press the service button 30 times.
A menu will appear where the region can be changed.
