SIG PC-98 / Free! External Floppy Control...
Last post by NFG - May 18, 2024, 09:46:21 PM
I found this in my storage chaos and I don't remember why I kept it for so long.  I believe I tore it out of an external floppy enclosure for very good reasons...  But what those reasons are elude me.  Probably because this was smaller and easier to store. 

Anyway, as far as I know it works.  It takes 5 and 12 Volts, and connects a Centronics 50 to a 34-pin floppy drive.

Free to whoever wants to pay for shipping.

Quote from: incrediblehark on May 18, 2024, 06:39:33 AMThanks, in the latest release I changed to a different version of Super Hang On in hopes that it would solve the boot issues. Sounds like it introduced different ones. Will change versions.
I thank you for the passion you put into creating this beautiful HDD image, and donating it to all of us enthusiasts.

Thanks incrediblehark.

I noticed that Super Hang-On has a problem, when you select Europe and Winning Run mode, it crashes during the race.

I solved it by exchanging the version inside SxSI-SCSI HDD Image v2.20, with the version inside the baller_v2 HDD image, without making any changes to the folder.

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

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.
Aquales does not have a security problem, and there are no different versions.
Its function is to read and write to the disk.
Each level that is completed by the player is saved to the floppy.

On emulators like XM6 TypeG, it uses XDF formats and everything works perfectly.

To play on real hardware: Copy the XDF files into the HDD image, and with the command mkimg -ra: game.xdf create your Floppy Disks.

Quote from: HIggy on May 17, 2024, 06:17:46 AM@incrediblehark I would say the BlueSCSI devices are the cheapest ones out there. Available from all around the world depending on your location:

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?
It uses Raspberry Pico which gives it a good emulation, but creating HDS images with a system of this type will make compatibility with other devices more complicated, considering the variations due to firmware updates, the choice of SASI cable also makes a difference.
The WIFI function is only for DaynaPORT support on other retro computers.

Quote from: naturd on May 16, 2024, 08:41:29 AMSome games like salamander, space harrier, super hang on don't boot.  I tested in an emulator and no matter how much ram I add, they still don't work

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.
