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.

Tools[edit]

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.

Compatibility Layers[edit]

TeknoParrot offers an out-of-the-box solution for running Windows-based arcade games. Currently supports some games for Taito Type X, X⁺, X², X³ and X⁴.

Jconfig offers support for some Taito Type X, X⁺, X², X³ and X⁴ games, while support for each game is distributed separately.

idMacX offers support for Taito NesicaxLive games.
