I have no idea at all about the accuracy of the information but their arcade related info is usually reasonably reliable. Also with the timeframe of sys23 it'd be original powerVR not Naomi's PowerVR2. One other small thing worth mentioning is that it was well known at the time that Namco were planning to make a PowerVR rendition of Rave Racer (which got canned) for the PC, which may have been a programming exercise. I take it the graphics chips are unlabelled on the PCBs?
