Data apart from the audio is stored on EEPROM chips, making it the only system used for BEMANI games to use non-removable storage. As such, version upgrades involved removing the entire board from the arcade cabinet and replacing it with a new one, the old board could then be sent back to KONAMI to be recycled in exchange for a rebate. | ||

The successor to the PYTHON, the PYTHON 2 is similarly based around Sony's PlayStation 2 hardware. But whereas the PYTHON uses a modified PlayStation 2 motherboard, the PYTHON 2 instead uses an unmodified retail system housed inside its case. Specifically, it is an SCPH-50000 MB/NH model with the included PlayStation BB Unit and 40GB HDD connected, along with the external P2IO board connected to the front USB port. Upon starting up, the PlayStation 2 loads the PYTHON 2 BIOS stored on the HDD, which takes over operations from there. If the HDD is disconnected, the PYTHON 2 behaves like a regular PlayStation 2 system capable of playing retail games. | The successor to the PYTHON, the PYTHON 2 is similarly based around Sony's PlayStation 2 hardware.
