The oldest piece of hardware used for Pump It Up we have seen in the wild was a MK3 board so far. But there are several hints that some piece of hardware pre-dating the MK3 existed at some point:

  • The first three Pump It Up games, 1st, 2nd and 3rd/OBG,
    are storing their music as actual CD audio, not MP3 files in the data area of the discs
  • MP3 hardware decoder chips were likely not cheap/easily available at that time. Furthermore, the total audio length of all songs still fit onto the disc as CD audio tracks
  • The first three Pump It Up games did not use a lock-chip as a means for copy-protection. Possible, that this piece of hardware wasn't available from the beginning and therefore not used

MK3

  • Custom PCB assembly with daughter boards stacked
  • DOS OS stored on ROM chip
  • Games stored and loaded from CD
  • PIUIO interface connected via ISA Bus
  • Hardware audio decoder chip for MP3 audio
  • CAT702 ZN security "Lock chip" for copy-protection
  • EEPROM to store game settings
