Technical details

This controller is a self-contained console with a modified version of Densha de GO! Final. Externally, it looks similar to a TCPP-20009, except it does not include a pedal connection. It requires a micro USB cable for power and a HDMI cable for video output.

Internally, it contains an Allwinner R16-based board running a Linux distro. The micro USB port supports USB OTG with a powered adapter and is used by Taito to install software updates. Full details are available on Linux Sunxi Wiki.
