[edit] PC-based hardware vs. Taito X2 hardware

My two cents, the Beatmania series currently uses PC-based hardware with Windows XP embedded, not Taito systems. Unfortunately there's no definitive reference in either direction. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 18:19, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

From what I've dug up from forum posts, they used Bemani PC until Gold. The old Bemani PC has XP Professional, and a Nvidia video card. They switched to Type X based stuff on Gold, and someone on a board specifically said it was Type X on the box. ViperSnake151 19:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Forums is not a very reliable source ViperDudeSnakeWhatever. Please cite your sources. Someone must have proof first before he claims something. We need to see a BMIIDX (also GFDM V4) bay with Taito hardware. The specifications may be the same but Konami will still put it as a proprietary system like Sega's Lindbergh.

Edit war bad, I'm just going to delete the entries entirely until a reliable source (Namely System16) catches up to these mixes. Anyone have a problem with that? --AeronPrometheus (talk) 16:54, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

But, we have a source that it IS a PC running Windows XP. I have a seen a video of the bootup of Gold on YouTube, and it does have a Windows XP splash screen before it goes to launch the game. Are we allowed to even generically say "Windows XP-based"? The game itself can be a source too you know, would a video of the game itself booting be "primary source published by a third-party"-enough for WP? ViperSnake151 17:44, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Forums are not sources, YouTube is not a source either, until something more definitive comes up we'll leave it blank. I was getting tired of seeing the wordy exchange on my watchlist. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 18:10, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
