Try contacting Kobushi. He is the hero behind the scenes and should know more about the X1 than anyone else here.

do you know if there is a list anywhere regarding what games can play under what IPL? x1, turbo, turboz etc.
thanks
anybody have any idea what this is asking ?
it seems to come up when switching between x1, x1 turbo, x1 turboz

@craiganderson
I think your info is not really helpful.
Without displaying the Japanese characters it is difficult to understand the message text.
Which emulator (name, version) do you use?
Which ROMs are in the root of your emulator folder?
Here are some X millennium versions with advanced features.

is there a list of which games need to be played on which system?
which games must be played on x1?
which games on turbo?
which games on twin?
thanks
craig
Excerpt from Sharp X1\[Miscellaneous]\[Miscellaneous] [guide].zip
Quote=== Running software ===
Most games run on the original X1, unless labeled with [X1turbo].
You can tell whether your system/emulator is X1 or turbo according to the IPL text at boot-up:
Original X1: "IPL is under preparing."
X1turbo/X1turboZ: "IPL is set for device."
Note that the X1turbo is backwards compatible with pretty much everything, so it's easiest to use that.
The majority of games, even tape games, are completely plug-and-play.

Eidis
thanks
what about the turboZ option?
any idea when that comes into play?
and how does x1twin relate to all of these?
thanks

anna,
on the other forum you stated
"Try the Xmil106RS T-tune v1.90
http://www (http://www). geocities.jp/xmil106/Xmil106RS.zip
(Copy/Paste, remove the space)
Be careful with the tape image, it can be easily modified.
Make first a backup of the original tape image.
I suggest to enable the "Protect" function before you open the tape image.
If the emulator is not able to load the tape image, it can be the tape is not on the start position.
CMD > REW to rewind the tape.
Otherwise for HuBASIC files:
LOAD"(file name - always case sensitive)"
RUN
RUN"(file name - always case sensitive)"
RUN"(file name - always case sensitive)",r
LOAD"(file name - always case sensitive)"
RUN"",r
LOAD"(file name - always case sensitive)",r
RUN
Example for the Sharp-HuBasic CZ-8CB01 Disk image + Hover Attack.tap Cassette image:
Type the command "FILES" to see the the content.
LOAD"Hover Attack.Bas"
RUN"
_________________________________________________________________
i have the disk image and .tap loaded
but when i type
it looks like gibberish (jap text?
how do i get english letters on the screen?
using the emulator u linked to above
thanks
craig
figured it out
thanks
craig
ok. so i have got lots of tap games up and running
even the ones that need HUBASIC loaded up as well
then require text commands
load
run
etc
but i cannot get alice in wonderland to work
anybody know the right commands
load what
i have tried everything
used files to see what is there
thanks

不思議の国のアリス (MICROCABIN) is a text adventure which need an input (commands) in
Japanese.
tinyurl.com/o34vbmr
The game is working on Xmil106RS by using CZ-8CB01 V1.0
I get a
"Bad screen mode in 100"
error
after
i type LOAD"ALI-1"
then it finds it
then i type RUN
see video

oh yeah
that is the emulator i am using
have both bios files
and i have that hubasic loaded
(http://s14.directupload.net/images/141114/5dloq9ux.gif)
thanks thanks thanks thanks
do you know that from trial and error?
i have been doing LOAD"Hover Attack.Bas" (for example)
but it seems maybe just LOAD will work??
do you have a list of commands per game?
thanks
craig
Try the command "CHAIN" instead of "LOAD"
Example for Alice in Wonderland:
CHAIN
or
CHAIN "CAS0:ALICE"
Sometimes it can be useful to check the BASIC listing by using the "LIST" command.
OK, enough for today.
thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
i greatly appreciate it
craig
what do these option in the emulator do compared to plain old REW or FF?
APSS_REW
APSS_FF
they are under CMT
thanks

After a re-examination of my crystal ball I think I know now the contents of this message:
QuoteThis tape has the old format. If the automatic conversion is performed, then the first 36 bytes (header entries) are lost.
It exist a tool called "old_tap" which convert the new into old tape format.
Quoteold_tap.exeは、T-tuneで扱われる「新フォーマット」のテープファイルを

anna (or anybody) :),
how do i load games from these two disks?
.....do they need to load together (i.e. one id drive 0 and one in drive 1)
.....or do they load separately?
they do not automatically "boot" to a menu screen.....
i tried guess all the different "LOAD" commands..but no luck
see images below

I don't think so. It exist a tool called "TAP2DSK" but a tape drive is still required and it is for programs in Hu-BASIC only, so far I know.
when a game also has a "user disk" as well as other disks
does the user disk usually go in drive 0?
disk a in drive 1
disk b in drive 2
etc
it seems to load/work when i load it that way

bummer :( thanks for the info though
question
what are the "user disks" that come along with some of the games?
what are they used for ?
can they be ignored?...answer is probably NO! obviously
thanks
craig
hello
this game state in the name
Sirius-1 [FD][req Extra Hyper system disk].zip
do you know what disk that would be ?
thanks in advance
craig
user disks save data. they are necessary if you want to continue progress in the game ^_^. but if you don't need a save feature I guess its not necessary
thank you
Hello, I'd join this thread too if you don't mind.
I just got an X1 Twin and I'm starting to hunt software for it.
First question is if the Twin is a normal X1, since it is the last one.
But I think it is, therefore I can't run Turbo software on it.
Second is if you know of a disk-based basic instead of a cassette based one.
Thank you ;)
1.) The X1 Twin can not use turbo/turboz specific software but not tested on the original hardware.
However, the X1 Twin is a very nice hybrid machine.
2.) Check the Neo Kobe - Sharp X1 (2014-06-08) (http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=5615.msg38552#msg38552) package and you will find it (HuBASIC CZ-8FB01).
HuBASIC CZ-8FB02/CZ-8FB03 is for the turbo/turboz machines.
Thank you so much, I'll check it!
anybody know the name of this sharp x1 game?
on one of the compilation disks it is called "Liplas"
(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q702/craiganderson1/2014-12-08_14-07-45_zps0c0a84ef.png)

anybody know how to load games off of the following colllection
[Compilation] Magazine type-in collection [FD].zip
problem solved
craig
Follow up question: In order to load the japanese text named games from the type-in collection disks I have discovered that I can scroll up to the japanese text game names and type LOAD" before them and " after them and then I am able to load them. I am happy about this because I do not have Japanese symbols/fonts etc on my computer. The problem is that after one uses the FILES command to see the files on the disk the list scrolls up and off the emulator screen. And I am only able to scroll up as high as the visible text and not into the text that has scrolled off the screen. This prevents me from loading the japanese text games that have scrolled off of the screen.
Is there any way to scroll up higher??
thanks
craig
Just another small question, is there a way to connect the Sharp Cassette Recorder (CZ-8RL1) to the X1 Twin, since it doesn't have any "Rec" port on the back?
