I let the new rig run SFIV for 3 hours straight. All of the Taito Type X and Taito Type X2 run silky smooth. Black Label is also available, and while it’s a bit wonky, it still plays fine. And it runs great on the rig I’ve set up. This game was literally the reason I went from not caring about this generation of games and going out and buying a Japanese Xbox360. I should know, I spend a ton of time playing these games and I can safely assert that the only people who will even notice or care are world-record gamers, and snobs who think they could be world-record gamers if they just tried. For all of the deluxe shmups I have noticed some inaccurate slowdown… but the inaccuracy isn’t so bad as to turn off 99.9% of the gaming crowd. The CV1000 emulator is a bit hacky, but the framerate is a consisten 60FPS. The 32-bit ones should run just fine as well… Anyway, here are a few of the tests that prove this thing’s mettle… I plan on getting 64-bit ports of all of our favorite emulators. My initial testing has gone very smoothly. I think a computer that has 4x the processor capacity, 16x the RAM, and a videocard 8 generations newer, that runs cooler and on less power is not bad at all. Yeah, I know, doesn’t sound like much – but compared to the Games Family PCBs (Pentium 4, 2.8Ghz, 512MB of ram, NO VIDEO CARD) this thing is a fucking beast. It sports an AMD Llano Quadcore clocked at 2.9Ghz, an in-processor (not external card, not motherboard-embedded, but on the dye) Radeon HD 6550, and 8GB of DDR3 1600 RAM.

Here’s what I’ve come up with –įor starters, I got a great deal on a beefy PC setup. Finally having cash, an experimental workbench, and freetime to engineer an actual solution, plans are moving forward with the multigame system. Here is the complete shooter collection for the Type X, consisting of: GigaWing Generations, Homura, Shikigami No Shiro III, Raiden III, and Raiden IV.So, my quest to actually make this a reality is coming forward. The graphics card has two ports, one for 15khz lowres and one for 31khz hires monitors. The Type X can play on a standard 15khz jamma cabinet via a JVS->Jamma I/O converter, such as those used for the Naomi platform. Games are distributed as an IDE hard drive and USB security dongle, and are conveniently installed via a square opening in the top of the case (each game comes comes with its own top plate). On the Type X, the dip switches do nothing, but on the Type X2 they do things like change the game's output resolution. The black square at the bottom of the card is actually a plastic panel covering a set of dip switches. It also connects to the motherboard's control panel header (for power on/off and lights) as well as the onboard optical sound.

It's not a PCI card, but rather a free floating adapter which connects to a COMM port on the motherboard. The proprietary JVS I/O card is the key to the entire system, as games will not run without it. Raiden III and IV for example, play at a rock solid 60fps with increidble graphic detail and sound.

Even though this may seem whimpy by today's consumer PC standards, its surprising how efficent XPE can be without all the extra bloat of unnecessary device drivers and services running. The base unit comes with a Celeron 2.5Ghz processor, 256M RAM, ATI Radeon 9600 SE (AGP) and proprietary JVS I/O card. The motherboard is a custom 865G type, with "Taito Type X Rev A1" silkscreened onto it, and comes with onboard dolby 5.1 optical sound support, although I don't know of any arcade cabinet that would actually use this. I was expecting an older desktop sized computer, but was surprised to find the unit is the same size as a Naomi motherboard (although obviously a bit taller). This however, did not mean crappy and bloated doujin style PC games coming into arcades, as Taito kept strict quality controls over was released on the platform.

Using commodity PC hardware and software development tools meant significant cost savings in producing games. The Taito Type X arcade board came out in 2004, and is essentially a custom PC running the Windows XP Embedded operating system.
