Performance & compatibility

• Type X / X2 – Most games run well on modern PC hardware (Core i3/5, 4GB+ RAM). Some need dxvk for GPU translation.
• Type X3 (Windows 7-based) – Poor support; rarely works due to driver and 64-bit dependencies.
• Controls – Batocera maps arcade controls (joystick/buttons) to XInput, which works for most Type X games if they support Xbox 360 controllers. Some require raw input remapping via AntiMicroX or xboxdrv.
