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.
