Just purchased an X68000 to refurb and posting here just to show interest and track if there will be another run of these in the future.  Hoping to get one of these or the Etarikashikoshi board.

Thanks!

I updated to the latest firmware and v2 is working excellent on my Pro.

I don't understand what you're saying, sorry.  You're using it on a TV (with you so far) that won't display in 15kHz mode.

The TV doesn't do 15kHz?  Or the X68000 is in 15kHz mode and the TV still shows nothing?

What have you tried?  Do other systems work on this TV?  What's the pinout of the cable you're using?  Is it SCART for sure?

I'm using one of the external V2s and haven't had any problems with the game. FWIW I do not use a bluescsi.ini file at all.

There is a BMP to PIC program (b2pic003.lzh in the nfg archive) you can use on the X itself to convert image files. Max res. is 512x512 I think.

I noticed in this HDD image, that by pressing the L key, selecting the letter C: you find the Multimedia folder.
I'm curious to try my X68000 XVI at 16MHz as you see the videos and photos created by me.

The problem is that I don't know the programs for Windows 11, suitable for creating compatible movies or images, can anyone help me?
Thank you!!!

Sorry I can't help about the W11 program but with regards to getting to the multimedia files...I believe you only need to press 1 and 3 on the numpad to change drives. I'm away from home at the moment so I can't double check but I'm pretty sure that's right

I would like to know if this card produced by aje_fr also works well on X68000 XVI with CPU set at 16MHz.
Is the memory detected correctly?
Does the MIDI part have a clean sound?

Unfortunately I purchased the model called Etarikashikoshi on the arananet.net site, which does not work at 16MHz, it only works with 10MHz systems.

I can confirm that it works on XVI systems, my system can overclock to 24mhz and the aje_fr board works fine.

It does currently have a bug where After Burner MIDI files have too fast tempo, but I've tested many other games and this is the only one I found with an issue.

I also let aje_fr know about this bug so hopefully one day it can be fixed

I doubt it can be fixed on this version, a hardware overhaul will be needed.
Can you set the CPU to 10 MHz and see if you have any beneficial effect?
Another test is to turn off memory expansion using the rotary switch. After Burner II should also launch with 2 MB of base memory.
With the dedicated MIDI rotary switch, you can change the IRQ addresses in 5 positions, you should easily reach them without removing the card.
You've probably already done these tests.

Yep I tried all IRQ settings and also disabling ram, also 10mhz mode with no changes unfortunately.

Hello. I'm using it on a TV that won't display in 15 KHZ mode 😒

Did you plug the other end into anything?  What was it?  More details might help with a diagnosis.

Is the receiving device 15/31kHz capable?  What resolution is <whatever you're booting> running at?  Are you sure it's SCART and not JP-21?  etc.
