As I thought, the problem arises from an incompatibility with the different Hitachi HD68HC000 10 MHz CPU for the first models, and the Motorola 68000 16 MHz CPU of the XVI and subsequent models.

I don't think the problem is due to the difference between the use of HENKAN BANCHO PRO or BlueSCSI V1, considering that on the Expert II system, you report correct operation.

I'm curious to know from those who have a Super type model, whether they have problems with Knight Arms or Super Hang-On, to understand whether the SCSI and SASI difference also matters, considering that they have a Hitachi HD68HC000 10 MHz CPU, but connected with SCSI .

Regarding the Aquales game, does anyone start the second level?

I've not had an issue (done it 3x now) powering from PicoPSU (remember there are copies out there!!).

I use a 24 to 20 pin ATX short cable and then cut off the plug and just wire the wires to the correct side on the X68000.

On my Expert 2 I did use the SATA connector with an adaptor to plug into my internally mounted BlueSCSI V1.

Not noticed any LED or other issues.

Pretty sure e.g. 5v rails are all connected together. So does not matter which you use.

Yes, it should work. I use this one on Amazon for my Sharp monitor. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O07653K

Hi guys,

I'm looking to buy a cable for my coming Sharp monitor and I'm wondering if buying a simple db15 MM will work.
They are really cheap on Aliexpress: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005005615990407.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.5d2b378d4uQhW9&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra

Any feedback much appreciated

Thanks to all for reporting these issues, I will do the best I can to try and resolve these problems for a small update. Working on getting a SASI machine to do further testing on real hardware.

Hi, I'm trying to launch the Mac emulator on my X68000 XVI compact. I followed the instruction kindly given by Retrobits under his YouTube video:

- Extract the software: Iha x macos.Izh
- Put a blank 1.2MB floppy in the second drive and run the f512 command to format it. Hit 'y' to accept
- Write an 800k Mac image to the disk: conv finder.mac
- Add the ROM to the startup d file: db rom, 1e0000 < a
- Configure how much RAM you have, e.g. 8MB: cst 8m
- Run start2.bat to launch the emulator.

As I have a compact, I'm using a 3.25 floppy, but I think that I don't go so far that the emulator try to boot the disk. When I launch start2.bat, I have only a black screen.

Can you help me to make it run?
Thanks :-)

I would like to know from those who use HENKAN BANCHO PRO, what size of clusters do you set for formatting?

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

Same.

On my Expert with Henkan Bancho Pro and 10MB of RAM, the game is fine. On my XVI with Henkan Bancho Pro and 12MB of RAM, I get a black screen (crash) after the loading screen in either 10/16MHz mode.

Does Super Hang-On start on the Expert II?

x68000 PRO ( CZ-652C ) uses a Hitachi HD68HC000 10 MHz CPU which is different from the XVI ( CZ-634C ) which uses a Motorola 68000 16 MHz CPU.

This difference makes older systems more compatible, however a XVI makes games much faster.

Maybe using a modified game image would fix the problem? I hope incrediblehark can solve these problems with the next versions.
