The '''Sega Chihiro''' is an arcade system produced by [[Sega]] in 2003. It is based upon the [[Microsoft Xbox]], using the same Pentium III CPU and Nvidia graphics card. Unlike the Xbox however, it has upgradable RAM and uses [[GD-ROM]] media instead of DVDs. Because of the similar hardware, it is in theory relatively easy to port Chihiro games to the Xbox and PC.

The Chihiro (チヒロ) is an arcade system produced by Sega and Microsoft based on the Xbox home video game console[1], and it was named after the protagonist of Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away movie. It was the second such partnership, with Sega also siding with Namco and Nintendo with the Nintendo GameCube-powered Triforce system.

The House of the Dead III was the first game to launch for the platform in late 2002.

Hardware

The Chihiro is based upon the Xbox, using the same Pentium III CPU and NVIDIA graphics card. Unlike the Xbox however it uses GD-ROM media instead of DVDs (with some exceptions; see below), has more RAM and an earlier revision chipset which is used in the Xbox debugging unit (MCPX2). Because of the similar hardware, it is in theory relatively easy to port Chihiro games to the Xbox and PC. The GD-ROM board can be configured to store up to 1GB of data from the GD-ROM like with the Triforce.

There was also a Satellite Terminal version of the Chihiro.
