any modern day branded (eg. corsair) atx psu should suffice quite well

Perhaps something with a switch on it

But I never even switch it off.

 

[Lachlan]

Neither do I. Just switch the cab on and the auto start kicks in from the IO. Turning off is soft of course.

Hi, I have a TTX3 with FastIO in a Vewlix Diamond Orange with 2L16B. I wanted 8 buttons per player in case I someday want to play PC/console games on the Vewlix, but I saw SFV Type Arcade supports buttons 7 & 8 as macros.

Can TTX3 support buttons 7 & 8? If so, what’s the best way to connect them?

I don’t believe fastio firmware supports buttons 7/8. Sfv uses a different i/o.

If you are playing pc/console games, you are probably using a brooks board which you can then wire up all the buttons.

I made DB15 arcade stick to USB keyboard interface for artax 4.1. It works well on ttx3 & ttx4.

Very cool! Colour me interested!

Really Artax 4.1 work fine with X4 and USB I/O once setup in the Bios

This is super cool! Would be interested in picking one up if you make more!

If you play SHMUPs, you’ll see the difference between the fastIO and JVS io

Not sure how good the fastIO is, but it seems to me that sega type 3 IO is quite good (jvs wise)... much better than capcom jvs/jamma adapter.

the capcom JVS to JAMMA IO ADDS a frame of latency ON PURPOSE.

it isn't great.
but I will say that I have shmup fan friends and they say that in comparison, the fast IO is MUCH better than the JVS IO.

 

[rtw]

The FAST IO can only be used on TAITO PC HW, if you're interfacing NAOMI/Chihiro/Triforce JVS is the only way.

...and what is that purpose?

No one knows

What spec ram goes into the Type X3 should I need to replace it?

 

[Lachlan]

What spec ram goes into the Type X3 should I need to replace it?

DDR3 1600

 

[Chihiro]

It's the 8gb version can I get 2x4gb or should I keep it how it is 4x2gb?

 

[Cereth]

idk if it matters at all with X3, but I’d recommend at least 2x4 so it runs Dual Channel, but want to hear if anyone else here has feedback on that

 

[okayandy]

i'm assuming this message will go away after i get the Artax multi installed on my ttx3? I just wanted to test the Fast io and quickly connected the ttx3 to an external monitor.

 

[Cereth]

Yeah. Keep that drive as-is for now, it is possible to boot NxL2 with a legit drive on a private network later if there was ever a desire to
