TAITO Type X3 General advise please for newbie on these

[Venom]

Hi I bought this TT3X of HDemon as a bit of a project, but dont really know too much about them and will be a project for the winter.
Rather than me just bother HdDemon , he extremely helpful , I'd like any pointers from other members please.

I have some very basic questions to enable me to do a basic switch it on and test it.

1 To test this can I plug into a UK plug socket ok , i.e I dont need a step down transformer ?

2 I was not expecting the Gcard to have HDMI, but assume I can just plug this into a TV/Monitor using that for now , in the port next to that plastic (dongle ) , that these things dont output 15K ?

3 I think I can plug ab Xbox controller in , to usb ?

I understand I could possibly hack this and just plug one of these in the top reaplcing the existing hard drive https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006997188520.html

Can anyone just give me a general run down of on ttx3 and any advise. Do they do Jamma conneciton or is it more for putting in an astro city or newer cab,

For now just want to wire it up boot it and see it running.

It was such a bargain but honestly dont know much about these so want to pick people brains.







I notice on the back it has lots of connections but

If you look on arcade projects there is loads of info on this device.

Great will do.

Do not buy an Artax drive as you can install one yourself quite easily. Yes you can just plug it into a socket as no stepdown required. You can also use HDMI to your monitor. As to using your xbox controller, I still haven't figured that out yet as you have to install a script or plugin. These units are mainly for the newer hdmi cabs

If you have modified hard-drive like a Artax Multi HDD I believe that is possible to use Xbox controller or Brooks board but if your using legit HDD game you need a JVS USB I/O board or Fast I/O board that connects by Ethernet cable.

You can also use MP07-IONA I/O board but be careful of dodgy AliExpress versions as that’s not official ones.
