The Taito Type X is an arcade system board released by Taito Corporation in 2004. Based on commodity PC hardware architecture, Type X is not a specification for a single set of hardware, but rather a modular platform supporting multiple hardware configurations with different levels of graphical capability. This flexibility allows game developers limited choice in selecting a configuration to fit the game's specific requirements, and allows the platform as a whole to more efficiently support gaming titles with vastly different computing needs. For example, the Type X+ and Type X² models have upgrade graphics processing power, which could be put toward better game visuals, or outputing to higher-resolution (HDTV) displays. The Type X7 board is used primarily for pachinko machines in Japan.

Taito Type X and X7 use Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional as recommended development platform.

The Type X² system-board uses an updated Intel platform with a PCI-express system bus, and supports more recent graphics GPUs and Intel CPUs than those supported by Type X.

Compatibility: Due to platform specific drivers (Windows XP Embedded), game software is not interchangeable between Type X² and the older Type X/X+ platform.

Taito Type X² Satellite Terminal

It is a variant of Taito Type X², but supports networked multiplayer play.

Taito Type X³

On 16 Sept 2011, Taito has announced the next iteration of the Type X line: Type X³. Though no specifics about hardware and software have been announced, initial viewings of the arcade board indicate, like with Type X², the design is a natural evolution to employ contemporary PC hardware: newer Intel Core processors, DirectX 11 graphics, and DDR3 SDRAM.^[4]
