=== Use in other hardware ===
Development kits and prototypes of the machine became very valuable pieces among collectors. M2's technology was integrated in the multimedia players FZ-21S and FZ-35S, both released in 1998.{{citation needed|date=December 2013}} Both products were aimed at professionals working in medicine, architecture, and sales, not home users. The M2 also became a short-lived arcade board by [[Konami]]. The agreement to develop the board was made well in advance of the M2 console's planned release date, with the understanding that games using the arcade board would be ported to the home console, similar to the relationship between the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] and [[Namco System 11]].<ref>{{cite magazine |date=1 March 1996 |title=Overseas Readers Column - Konami To Develop Coin-Op Videos Using 64-bit "M2" |magazine=[[:ja:ゲームマシン|Game Machine]] |publisher=[[:ja:アミューズメント通信社|Amusement Press, Inc.]] |page=30 |issue=513 |lang=ja}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |last=Webb |first=Marcus |date=May 1996 |title=Konami, Matsushita Plan 64-Bit Home and Arcade Sister Systems |magazine=[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]] |publisher=[[Imagine Media]] |page=26 |issue=17}}</ref> Because games ran straight from the [[CD-ROM]] drive, it suffered from long load times and a high failure rate, so only five games were developed for it.

In the late 1990s and from 2000 on, the system was also sold in the [[interactive kiosk]] market. In 2000, PlanetWeb, Inc. began offering software to allow the M2 to be used as an Internet appliance.<ref name="BusinessWire" /> All of the software released for the M2 kiosks was developed with the "CDMotion for M2/M2X" software, which was a point and click "codeless" SDK for M2. None of the applications utilized the Macintosh based SDK in conjunction with Macintosh Programmers Workbench.{{citation needed|date=February 2022}} The M2 technology was later used in [[automated teller machine]]s, and in [[Japan]] in [[coffee vending machine]]s.{{citation needed|date=December 2013}}
