Hello, I've been enjoying a pack of games in hdf format for quite some time and I was wondering if there's other interesting things in hdf format. Like music players or demoscene stuff. Does that exist anywhere? I see a lot cool music players in YouTube x68000 videos, but I'm not sure where to get hdf versions.

Thank you for reporting the issue, another user had a similar issue before and I thought I had fixed it, so I'll look into it again before the next release.

v2.20 will be soon, finishing up my midi testing and adding more doujin games from the recently released pack. Took some time off to work on the retrotink modes for x68k so I'll be back to the hdd image this week.

Does everyone play Power Knuckle for X68000 emulator?

Hi, thank you for the excellent work done.
I wanted to let you know that Super Hang-On won't start.
When the 128 seconds of waiting are over, the countdown starts again infinitely.
I tried removing all other games, it runs normally.
I'm guessing it's a file conflict.
I didn't add any other games to the disc image.

I also tried Bonaza bros. , works fine booting my X68000 XVI at 16MHz but at 10MHz it won't boot.

Tests carried out on the X68000 XVI, 12MB RAM (TSR brand) on HENKAN BANCHO PRO.

Linked above is a file containing custom input modes to support the Sharp X68000 on the Retrotink 4K. Below is from the included readme:

To use these custom modes, copy and paste into your current input_database.txt file located in the inputmodes folder on your RT4K SD Card. These were made to address the unknown signal when loading up X68000 software with all of its odd framerates. Some notes:

- These are still a WIP and may not be 100% accurate, but will be a good starting point for people who would like to create custom profiles based on the resolutions. The purpose of the input mode vs a profile is to allow it to be scalable across multiple output resolutions and allow for the creation of profiles based on the input modes.

- Naming convention for these modes are most likely not proper, I went back and forth on these and decided to just do a XXXpXX for the resolution and framerate.

- VRR and frame lock / genlock are recommended for smooth scrolling. If your display cannot do that I would recommend triple buffer and adding 1/2 frame of lag to get less stuttering.

I have tested these on multiple X68000 resolutions to get as close as possible, but I am in no way an expert. Most of this I learned as I went. If you see any issues with these please reach out to me and I'll do my best to fix them. My hope is for these input modes to be implemented into the RT4K firmware one day.

One other note - some of these modes may look squished on your display - don't forget that the X68000 had wide and narrow resolutions for some games that would be adjusted on the monitor itself. Use a 16:9 aspect correction on these to get a better scaled picture.

I recently moved the server to a new home, and the mail configuration was broken as a result.  I only noticed today that there's 141,446 errors in the error log, all related to mail that wasn't going out.

Oops.

My apologies to anyone impacted by this failure.  =(

Sharp X680304 MB RAM

Power supply replaced and Soft Power Chip installed.
Both 5.25 floppy drives have been serviced, tested, and are working.
System passes all memory tests.
All LEDs are functional.

System is working but no sound from the internal speaker, audio out, or headphone jack.
The YM2151/YM3012 tests out fine as well as the connections between YM3012 to YM2151.

You can hear muffled audio on any port with amplified sound. Likely cause is one or both of the preamps and/or a recap of the I/O board is needed.  No visible corrosion of any boards or damage from a battery leak.  Listing on Ebay here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/145705651876

And I would be open to offers if the sale is direct via Palpay.
Please reach out with any questions.  Thanks!

Hi, here new FM-TOWNS owner.
A wile ago got a FM Towns II Fresh ET computer.
The system works great already replaced the CMOS battery and installed an ZULUSCSI internal drive.
Also the internal cdrom drive is dead using now and external scsi cdrom and fd-boot floppy to play games.

Could like to install windows 95 onto the scsi hard drive anyone can point me out on how this is done ?, don't seem to find any good information on how to do this and what iso image i should use for this.

Turns out the BIOS (from MAME) I was using somehow forced the processor to be seen as a 386. Changed it and now everything run really smoothly. Thanks again for the patch!

Managed to boot from the scsi drive but can't get correctly that part of the config could you explain a little more how should be done ? or add an screenshot ?.
