@kanjiology, did the recent update fix any of your problems?

Also, does anyone know how to get the HDD led to work with X68000 and the BlueSCSI desktop version?

Quote from: bobrocks95 on April 21, 2024, 02:14:53 PMJust 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!

Maybe you can find an XVI owner who wants to sell theirs

That's fair!  I don't think I'll get into overclocking such old hardware (though I did see this odd CPU replacement board on Yahoo Japan Auctions that intrigued me) so I'd certainly buy one at cost if there are any disappointed XVI users with one!

X68000 XVI have 16MHz CPU speed, and X68030 model has 25MHz CPU as standard, no need to overclock.

Etarikashikoshi midi + ram DOES NOT WORK with these models, but the manufacturer (Arananet) still does not indicate it on the site.

The arananet etarikashikoshi midi + ram card is back on pre-order if anyone is interested: https://www.arananet.net/pedidos/product/etarikashikoshi-x68000-8mb-ram-midi-board-preorder

I've pre-ordered one but will jump on an AJE version too if another run comes up again.

Cheers!

@ateam was worth a try...

I had a lot of problems with some games that used the Cyber Stick, or Mega Drive controller adapters with HDD image, for example Knight Arms.

You can try replacing your version of Star Trader with the Eidis version: https://nfggames.com/X68000/Music/Eidis/X68000.zip as I explained in my guide, previously.

If you place the game Die Bahnwelt in partition D: it will crash, but you can still try...

Some games work better on the primary partition inside the Games folder, they are more stable and faster to load.

Quote from: spectreman on May 29, 2024, 11:55:56 PMMoving games is simple:

When the program launches, it will ask you to select the desired image.
Open the .HDS or .IMA image.
Select the Human68k HDD SCISI profile.
The games are all found inside the Games folders, in the case of the image X68000_V4.HDS (Released by Eidis).

You can open multiple images at the same time, by starting the program again, and drag the folders wherever you want, even directly into other HDD images.
But without editing some .BAT files will not boot.

Always test with the emulator before trying them on real hardware.

In the case of the HDD image released by incrediblehark, the situation is different, with the emulator you have to move between the different partitions, as indicated previously.
Then press the HELP key on the emulator's virtual keyboard, just before the emulated image starts.
Only after selecting the partition with the emulator will it be possible to view the contents with the editdisk.exe program.

Below is the link to the program:

Good fun.

I managed, thanks to your instructions, to put the Game folder with the game in it on partition C. I will try it later with the emulator if the game makes the error of "the military base ".  (EDIT : That s working !)

By the way, can't we, instead of putting the game folder in partition C, put the game folder in partition D in place of the old one?

Thank you, I will give it a try.

I received my molex cable adapter today, so i just installed my BlueSCSI V2 in my Pro. Tested Street Fighter II and Super Street Fighter II with no issues. Running the latest firmware (updated before installing) and set Termination ON with device set to HD0

Quote from: spectreman on May 29, 2024, 07:38:25 AMTry changing controller.

Quote from: spectreman on May 29, 2024, 07:38:25 AMI've noticed that Star Trader crashes when my Cyber Stick is set to analog.
Maybe it could be due to the type of controller he connected to his Expert.

I've tried with an FMT Marty pad, as well as a Mega Drive pad in both 2 and 6 button mode using the CPA-001 adapter from Capcom. The crash occurs with both. I have no other controllers to test.

Thanks for the advice, though.

How strange...

THANKS ! I'll try !   I will come back with the results
