The Taito Type X is an arcade system board designed and released by Taito in 2004. Based on standard PC hardware, Type X differs from specifications for a single set of hardware; it's a modular platform supporting multiple hardware configurations with different levels of graphical capability.
Games that use the Type X platform are compiled for Windows Embedded, so running them in a standard Windows installation is trivially easy. Other operating systems would require Wine, but it's unknown how well it works.
