Type x2
Re: Type x2
I am wondering if I am connecting my typex2 to the vewlix right. I currently have it connected with the vga cable which comes with the vewlix then to the typex2 to the top dvi input using the dvi adapter. I have just read this on a forum and wonder if it is true:
'new revisions of the TaitoX2 dont allow 720p via HD-15 VGA anymore. If youre looking to do VGA output only, 480p, then yes the standard dvi-vga is included. but if you have an HD setup, its DVI only.'
So I wonder if this is the problem with the resolution on kofmira and whether I could connect straight dvi to dvi to enable 720p

Re: Type x2
I can´t say if it works, but even if it does, it isn´t of any use with KoF MIRA, because it runs only at 640x480 anyway.
Personally, I doubt what is said in the paragraph you quoted, because it won´t make any sense.
You´re definitely connecting it the right way, because ex factory only a VGA cable is installed in the Vewlix and the DVI adaptor comes with the Type X systems, and it is the only way of connecting mentioned in the manuals.
Haven´t tried it with my Type X2 yet, but the Type X doesn´t boot when it is directly connected via DVI.

Re: Type x2
Is it definetly true then that the kofmira is only 640x480. I assumed all the games were 720p. Do you know what the 5 dipswitches do on the typex2 motherboard?The Enigmatic Form wrote:I can´t say if it works, but even if it does, it isn´t of any use with KoF MIRA, because it runs only at 640x480 anyway.

Re: Type x2
Dip 2 changes the resolution for games which suppport 1280x720, which is also mentioned on the label of the game then.
I don´t know what the other dips do, though. They aren´t mentioned anywhere, and I was afraid to mess around with them but I would really like to know, as there must be a reason because 1 and 5 are on and 3 and 4 are off by default. It´s probably just for things like enabling network.

I think a lot of people with X2’s are thinking of a free alternative

I´m a bit proud how well I cleaned my Type X, though, I even installed new fans for the CPU and the housing.

Re: Type x2
There must be different revisions then.
Ringtail´s X2 obviously still lives, so that´s the best proof.
My X2 also has a label "115 - 230 V", and I can´t find a switch, so I´m quite sure that it auto-switches.
X1 is another story, all I´ve seen so far must be switched manually.

Re: Type x2
There are three different models. I only have the low end and mid end units.... perhaps a high end unit?
I'll put some pictures up once I am back from the IAAPA show...
