X68000 Software / Re: Playing generic midi files
Last post by neko68k - March 13, 2024, 03:19:26 PM
I use MCDRV.

MCDRV folder

The driver and its tools are in here:
MCDRV 0.67

You can use MMDSP but MCDISP is a nicer experience for this in my opinion.
MCDISP 0.47

Seems like someone figured out how to do this using the X68000Z but I don't see any mention of how to set up MMDSP or get it working on original hardware :/

That model uses the "file bay" standard. Drivers will be different depending on what model drive you get. Look up which one yours needs, or just try them all until one works.

Here's my video on one of the games in the Xak series - this time on the PC-98! Have you guys played this one? And what do you think of the sort of dark pixely graphics used in this one as well as "Eiyuu Shigan: Gal Act Heroism"?

X68000 Software / Using Disk Explorer (editdisk....
Last post by incrediblehark - March 08, 2024, 01:04:56 PM
Here is a quick guide on how to access separate partitions of an HDS image file using Disk Explorer. HDF should apply as well, as long as you select the appropriate disk type in editdisk.

NOTE: I don't recommend Disk Explorer for mass file transfers due to potential file corruption! if your file transfer corrupts, try compressing it first and then unpacking within the Human68k environment after file transfer.

Set the active boot partition:

Boot your hard disk image while holding the HELP key on your X68000 keyboard. You will be presented with the boot menu (XM6-TypeG used in example):



Select what partition you would like to access, and press Enter. You may get an error that the disk can't boot if there's no HUMAN.SYS on that partition.



This is normal, just power down (quit emulator) and start up Disk Explorer (editdisk.exe)
Select your image, in this case it is a .HDS SCSI image file, and select the proper setting in editdisk:



Now select the same partition you marked as active earlier. Any other partition will give an error unless you first set that partition as active.




Click OK and you should have full access to the partition!




When you are finished with your transfers, close Disk Explorer and reset your boot partition in Human68k using the same procedure as before. (Hold HELP on boot).

Hope this helps anyone who has trouble accessing files on these types of images!

Quote from: aotta on March 07, 2024, 08:36:47 AMI continue suggest you to add more SCSI volumes as told in some previous post, not sure if it works with scsi machines but it would be great for SASI ones! ;)

I've been thinking about this lately, a good way to add another drive as SCSI ID 1 or something similar, but wonder how to manage that while still keeping a good compatibility among multiple machines and scsi devices.

Quote from: incrediblehark on March 07, 2024, 03:28:20 AMThanks for that link! danham reached out to me recently and I have some of his newest game dumps set for v2.20. Just rearranging files and making room. I also have an updated SFXVI and some midi stuff to add.

Any suggestions for titles to remove to free up space? I may get rid of some of my floppy disk images to make space for installed games as well.
