Taito Type X2 any problems playing in the UK?

thx for the reply Parris
typex,2,lindbergh having hdd's probably they are working just like PC games, no point in loading the whole game on a separate ram dimm like naomi
Serantes tell us more about the Lindbergh

 

Serantes: Can I come to Spain and see it? lol

How about a separate Lind thread, just a few images of it up and running.

 

Hi Parris
i already got tons of pictures on my blog and i was going to make a nice post about security on the system, but i got pissed about mame tards and decided to close my blog.
If you want see anything from the hardware i can take you pics
To resume, the board is a pentium 4 shocket 478
security chip is hoocked to the board bus itself
There is a pci board that handles jvs and the security chip itself.
The sound board is a sound blaster one with sega logo on it
Well
just one pic so you see how the board likes inside

sorry for the nasty tag, but i am tired about see my images everywhere and i am to lazy to tag it with other thing than excell
gfx card is located under the tag

 

also Parris
games look and do feel such as Chihiro ones, there are some crappy ones aswell, 2 spicy looks shit (i havent played it cause i need a gun harness to hook my setup, and i am really lazy to spend the small free time i got to build me one)
I dont really like so much house of the dead 4 aswell, but lets go jungle and after burner are amazing games, and i really like virtua tennis 3 aswell

 

Thanks for that Serantes. After Burner is one title I'd like to see up and running on that unit. :thumbsup:

 

its as good as you can see it on youtube, fast and nice, i plan to make a custom cp for it, thats what i wanted to get a baseball cp on arcade otaku, to use the 2 pots, one for handling and the other for the speed. This is another thing on my todo list atm.

 

Okay, I put it another way. After Burner is one titles I would like to PLAY on that unit, which is what I meant lol. Let me know when you get board with the Lind. Have you dropped Chihiro now?

 

to be honest, i dont really play anything, when i got outrun 2 sp on chihiro i said : this is an amazing game i am going to play, i built me a pad for it and i played maybe 1 day, game is amazing, but i tend to loose atention soon.
Lindbergh still has to give me a lot more fun, i have spent a lot of time on it, and every day i discover something new, this is a really nice designed system, from software to hardware layer, i am sure sega spent a lot of time on that.

Also, if you think typex2 is nosy, this one is even worst, i tried to unplug the big fan inside, but after 1 minute, games such as virtua tennis start to do weird things, so i had to plug it back (even the fan on the gpu is working and so and the machine seems cold)

I spent a fortune on this machine and i plan to keep it for a lot of time, the thing parris, is that i noticed that is pent soo much money on crappy games and so, and at the end its better to spend that money on more expensive things but more worth ones than have a ton of crappy ones ...

 

Serantes you are Alex!?, congrats for the work you are doing
too bad Guru doesnt feel the same way
when you finish your controller project post some pictures if you wish, thx

 

yes, i am Alex
guru is just a tard without a brain, but dont think those mame guys are better than him.
Trush me when i say that they did a bad choice not wanted me on mame and just wanted my stuff as a fast shoot.
I am and i will allways be in advance of guru, mame guys are happy cause they managed to dump namco dongles, what a sucess to read a chip, now they have to figure encryption and protection.
Just to see how tard guru is, he offers the same thing that i did : send me a dongle that i dont have and another one, and i will clone this one into the one you want.
Guru offers that but he says dongles are not crypted, i wonder how is he going to clone dongles without defeat encryption LOL
Sometimes i would like that things would be as easy as read a chip, everyone would be building cave boards so

 

The Taito X2 for it's price is pretty limited, very noisy (sad to hear the Lind is worse) and as you say, just a PC. Frankly Taito appear to have spent 10 minutes on it. I think most people are disappointed when they fire up an X2 given how much it costs currently. When it's down to a £150 or so, then they'll possibly appreciate it more. Some of the titles are pretty good, but then again I think it's been overtaken double fold by Lind and it does appear to be the next system to concentrate on.

If I sold off a couple of cabs I could go for a Lind. Andy has them in stock, but I want to wait and see what springs up for them. So far AB is all I am really interested in.

You are more into the hardware Alex, always have been ;-)
