The '''Sega System 24''' was an arcade platform released by [[Sega]] in the late 1980s.  It was used in coin-operated arcade hardware.  Some games released using this include:
 
*''Bonanza Bros.''
 
*''Rough Racer''
 
*''Super Masters Golf''
 
*''Tokoro-san''
 
*''Hot Rod''
 
*''Gain Ground''
 
 
 
The System 24 is emulated in MAME.
 
 
 
==Specifications==
 
The System 24 used two [[Motorola 68000]] processors at 10 MHz.  One was for booting, while the other was used by the game.  The board holds 1360KB of RAM and 256KB of [[ROM]].  It was the first Sega arcade system that required a medium resolution arcade monitor.  The color palette was 4352 selectable from 32,768.  The system could support up to 2048 sprites on-screen at once.
 
 
 
Sound was driven by a YM2151 at 4MHz; it was capable of delivering 8 channels of FM sound in addition to a DAC used for sound effects and speech synthesis.  Early System 24s loaded their program off of floppy disks.  Later, some games such as ''Bonanza Bros.'' used CD-ROMs or hardware ROM boards to store games.  No matter which storage device was used, a special security chip was required for each game an operator wanted to play.
