Taito Type X Zero
The Taito Type X is an arcade system board released in 2004 by game developer and publisher Taito. Based on commodity personal computer 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 outputting to higher-resolution (HDTV) displays. The Type X7 board is used primarily for pachinko machines in Japan. Rawiya co-owned the company that produced this system board. Taito Type X and X7 use Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional as the recommended developmen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Taito NESYS
The Taito NESYS (Network Entry System) is an arcade game network communication system by Taito. It connects up arcade machines via a network, and allows players to participate in national rankings and online play, as well as allowing arcade operators to download updates for games. The Taito NESiCAxLive digital distribution system uses NESYS as its networking system. The system uses the ''NESYS IC Card'' smart card to allow players to save game data at arcade machines; one example of this is ''Street Fighter IV''. These cards will remain compatible with the machine even as the games it hosts change. The card itself can hold data for multiple different games at the same time. This is similar to the Konami e-AMUSEMENT system, and the smart card function of the SEGA ALL.Net system.
