The Taito Type X board without a cabinet.

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.

Chart

Name Operating System(s)
Taito Type X/X+ Windows XP Embedded
Taito Type X7 Windows XP Embedded
Taito Type X² Windows XP Embedded
Taito Type X Zero Windows Embedded Standard 7
Taito Type X³ Windows Embedded Standard 7 64bit

Tools

Games need a launcher to work. For saving scores, you'll need to use save fixes on a per-game basis, 'Loaders Pack' has fixes for many games. Also, some shmup games for the original Type X need an extra fix.

There's more info about tools and games here.
