SIG X68000 / Re: SxSI-SCSI HDD Image v2.20
Last post by Hissa - Today at 07:19:56 PM
Regarding the problem of crashing when clearing a scene in Aquares.
EXACT PERFECT COLLECTION-1990~1994-for X68000, which was sold by BEEP last year, seems to have the protections removed and does not cause this problem.
I have looked for it, but it is difficult to obtain now.

Thanks! This is going to be internal, so I was looking at the BlueSCSI (v2) 50-Pin Desktop. Would that work fine? Any reason why I would need the WiFi for this?

How are you running these games in the emulator? Are you using the recommended Q,Q method? What emulator are you using?


Also just want to note that I am making progress on v3.00 with expanded hdd space. I have another X68000 on the way for testing a SASI setup. Could someone link me to a SCSI device I can use with my new system? I'd like to use whatever is most common nowadays for running hdd images on x68000.

Meanwhile it works again. It had a short on H and V-Sync.
So I followed the traces and not far from the Port there is a 74LS08 as a buffer in position 1F.
I replaced it and the picture is back.
The only thing was that I ordered the wrong size so I had to lengthen the legs.
Looks ugly, but works. Next time i must order the right size.

Quote from: soviet on May 13, 2024, 10:46:27 AMhi recently got a PC9821Ce2 now i finished recapping it, but need to know how to write the image to a disk ?.

using an ide to sd card adapter tried raw writing the file to the sd card using balenaetcher but the pc98 will not boot it get stuck after the ram test.



I use Balenaetcher, that's not the problem.


I use a CF card, but CF cards larger than 4gb won't work on a Ce2, ideally you need to use 2gb or less.

FYI Knight Arms is very picky about drivers. It will frequently hang on loading when SUSIE.X is installed at startup.

Quote from: Jehuty on May 12, 2024, 07:36:49 PMIt seems that V and H-Sync are broken on my CX20. I accidentally used an X68k to Scart cable with H and V-Sync connected together. Now there is only one image when I use pin 7 c-sync.
Strangely, my OSSC shows the correct Sync Hz and Khz values on the display. But no picture, 2 Extron devices show "no signal" and the LED on the SLG3000 stays off even when there is a connection.
So it seems to be V-Sync, possibly H-Sync too.

Are there any schematics out there to see what's in the wires?

There are no schematics.

My gen4 tower works. Ill poke and probe it if you need me to. Im going to assume some transistors are broken?

Can you attempt to trace backwards on your computer starting at hsync/vsync pins with oscilloscope until you get a reading? That way we can find what components died out and I can identify them on my board.
