I was actually looking for a video about the Taito Type X since I discovered it was basically a PC adapted for Arcade uses (which this video pretty much confirmed), because I was interested in the specs and the actual hardware/components. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you!
Awesome! I'm glad that this video was exactly what you were looking for. I couldn't find what I was looking for either, so I made this one, haha!
windows xp
Cheers mate. I needed this, not much info on type x around! Keep em coming
You are welcome! I'm still researching some stuff, but don't quite have enough for a video yet; but I'm gettin' there, haha!
Great vid. Keep em coming. Hope you got your one hundred sub goal
Just made the 100 sub goal! Thank you so much for your support!
Very good content!
Thanks so much! Appreciate it!
That was incredibly helpful Thanks!!!
Awesome! You are welcome!
Good vid
Thank you so much!
One modification I recommend to anyone using a Type-X at home: Change the fans of the case, CPU and PSU so something far more modern and quieter. The original Type-X fans sound like the system is taking off on boot and you can get it to be near-silent with some new fans. You could also swap the PSU out for better power efficiency yet it's not ATX so you may want to look elsewhere.
Hey; thanks for the suggestions! The Type X fan noise does get kinda irritating after a while, heheh. Do you have any suggestions for specific parts that either you've used or are thinking about using?
@@ZXRyuu You'll want two 80mm fans (Be Quiet and Noctua are good choices) and a 70mm fan (unfortunately 70mm is a bit obscure so you'd have to search for a good off-brand product. Though a brand like aabcooling or spire should work fine.)
Nice! I'll have to check out those options; thank you!
Great Video hope you soon get many subs.
Thanks! I'm just having fun and I hope people enjoy the ride with me!
This is what’s up! Love the editing! Plus this was super informative!
Thanks, man! I will try to mix in some more of these types of videos with more editing.
There was a least one swollen cap on the motherboard. On the left side of the CPU 2nd from the bottom.
Oh really? I should definitely look into that. Thank you for mentioning that!
@@ZXRyuu I'm not saying 100%. But from the video it looks sus as heck. Although it's pretty old video, maybe you don't even own it anymore?
I actually do still have it, so I'll be sure to check out the sus as heck capacitor just to make sure it's okay and/or replace it.
I'm curious if you can swap out the hard drive for a Windows or Linux build and run any PC game on it like an arcade game the user made.
You know; that is an excellent question. My guess would be if you have the drivers to run all of the hardware in the Type X, it should be possible. But this isn't something I've remotely looked at. The Type X program does run inside of Windows XP Embedded, so it does stand to reason that it's possible.
@@ZXRyuu I know that the Sega ALLS is also a PC and there's videos of people installing Windows on it so it should probably be possible with the Taito Type X (4 would be perferable).
Huh, that's cool! Yeah, you would probably want an X4 just so that you could have the best possibility of running more than just the native games.
請問接了super gun,影像跟聲音是否就是從supergun 輸出到螢幕上，聲音從supergun 喇叭輸出對嗎，謝謝
"May I ask if the video and sound are output from the supergun to the screen, and the sound is output from the supergun speaker, right? Thank you"
Correct! All video and sound is run out of the SuperGun to the TV. At the moment, I'm using Component (Green, Blue, Red [Video], White, Red [Audio]) for my hookup.
@@ZXRyuu 謝謝!
Do u have a link we're I can purchase this taito
Thanks for checking out the video! I was following a website called coinopexpress, but they don't seem to have any X Systems right at the moment, but I believe you can email them for special orders. The other place for purchase seems to be mostly through eBay sellers, currently.
@@ZXRyuu ok thanks does it come with all the games inside
X System games are run off of individual hard drives. One hard drive contains one game and requires a matching usb security key. I don't know of any methods for loading the entire library of games onto a hard drive and booting it, because there are very specific requirements for even running a Taito Type X game to begin with.
Can't you just Hit Alt-F4 since its running Windows XP... Also for the error it's advised to purchase a pack of inexpensive CR2032 Cells
I usually just press F2 to skip past the battery error message; I'm not sure if Alt-F4 does anything on that screen. The Taito Type X doesn't actually use a CR2032 battery, it uses a CR2450 battery instead. I bought one from console5.com, but I haven't changed it yet because it requires desoldering the battery from the motherboard and then resoldering. I'll be getting to this pretty soon though, because I've gotten some soldering experience recently.
@@ZXRyuu strange, that must mean it is a rechargeable cell, other things you can try are Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up task manager or even better still, seeing if there are any pins on the motherboard for a switch which will tell windows to shut down.
I definitely need to get back and reevaluate everything with my Type X. I've been slowly working through my consoles to fix them up or do any other work that they need. The Type X is up right after I region mod my N64. I'll try to remember to follow up with you after I have a chance to look into this further.
@@ZXRyuu that would be amazing, most windows Based arcades running 7 and higher can normally be exited out of especially the Namco ES3
Quick question. I have a MAS Super Nova supergun and a Capcom IO. Will I be able to run a Type X2 on it? I see you have a MK30 adcap (mad jealous) so it definitely has to work on superguns
Hello! I will give you my best guess since I can't test a MAS Super Nova for myself. I want to say yes, because the X2 would connect to the Capcom I/O in much the same way that the Type X does. Then you would just connect the JAMMA Harness of the Super Nova to the Capcom I/O. From what I understand, Jasen of Jasen's Customs is working on a redesign for the MK30 but I have no idea when it's coming out. If the X2 doesn't work on your Super Nova, let me know and we can troubleshoot it. I don't have an X2 (I have considered getting one, but they are too pricey for me at the moment), but they are similar enough that we should be able to figure something out.
@@ZXRyuu Worth a shot. I got a Taito Vewlix if all else fails, but I wanted to test it on my supergun first. Also, where did you hear that he's making a new Adcap? I thought he stopped making them. I might have to get a preorder for it since it takes USB controllers.
Oh, nice; that's cool! Sure; if it does or doesn't work out, let me know. 👍🏻. I actually just contacted Jasen on Twitter and asked him directly and he said that he was designing a new one. You'll probably want to contact him as well regarding it, because his website is down right now.
@@ZXRyuu intredasting. I'll have to contact him, I tested the Adcap at a tourney years ago and loved it. Felt good to play Third Strike on Mixbox with it.
Update: I bought a Type X2 and am trying to use it on my setup. The damn thing just power cycles over and over, and has rolling picture + two screens. Must be due to the monitor refresh rate. I've tried adjusting my voltage but so far, nothing. Barely can even get into the attract mode for SSF4AE. I'm pulling my hair out over this. Any suggestions?
What do i do if my usb dongle is broken?? Is there a way to put some boot on a regular USB stick?
Hey! I looked into transferring USB Security Key data from a working drive to a regular USB drive and I have yet to figure out how to even read the data on the security key, let alone copy the data. I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I am investigating options and will send you a message if I find something. Do you have any information that you've gleaned from the community on this topic?
@@ZXRyuu Unfortunately this topic is still very obscure and I could not find any thread of a smart guy having reverse-engineered these keys. However, if you possess a faulty original (like me), you can send a mail to OVS@taito.co.jp for a repair service. Just bear in mind that the repair price is off the charts....~20 000¥
Wow, that is incredibly expensive! Okay, I will continue to keep my eyes and ears open to any information on this topic. I was going to try to copy a game from one hard drive to another to see if that was possible with an original key, but I also wanted to see if copying the game from one drive to another could be modified to not require a key at all. But, unfortunately, I don't have an IDE to USB Drive attachment at the moment to try this. It's on my list of things to buy, but I haven't gotten down to it yet.
From what I know there has never been a reproduction of the USB security dongles. The games however have been cracked and there are decrypted images of said games floating around that you can load onto IDE or SATA drives to play without the dongle.
Sadly pretty much every dongle is doomed to fail without modification as the LED on the dongle gets so hot it begins to damage the SIM chip inside; frying it in the process.
What the hell is a Reeyou? Are you trying to say Ryu?
I mean, there are different ways to pronounce Ryu, but I'm using Ryuu "りゅう" "竜" as Dragon, not the Street Fighter character, which can be pronounced differently. Does that explanation make sense?
