Hello again!
Next trouble...
From 3 months, i sucesfully runned by many methods about 49 games of 50 from HDD ( .HDS ) in Visuall Shell SX-Window, but only one game can't run...
This game named:
Mega Lo Mania
From Floppy Disks:
Megalomania (1993)(Imagineer)(Disk 1 of 2)
Megalomania (1993)(Imagineer)(Disk 2 of 2)
I saw this strategy from SEGA on other platform in video on YouTube...
But, i want solve problem with run this game on Sharp x68000...

I was try run and by use and this method(By use this commands in autoexec.bat), and from copy all files from Floppy Disks with game to folder and puted to HDD by use Disk Explorer, etc:
2hdboot -$4 -aDisk1.XDF -bDisk2.XDF
␚
Disks of course i changed -bDisk1.XDF -aDisk2.XDF or even -aDisk1.XDF -bDisk2.XDF -aDisk1.XDF, etc... Anyway fail..

And from many methods from this page:
https://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=x68000:installing_games_to_hard_drive

But, anyway, in end always gets one-same fail reult with this message:
(https://i.ibb.co/c2nWMQF/Megalomania.png)

Maybe somone can help and solve how this run, or this game just can't be run on emulators of Sharp x68000? Or maybe broken?(But, i downloaded for tests this game Megalomania from many sources, and always same failed result with run this game...)

Just this one game of 50 successfully runned and testes games, which i tested in 3 months cant run by many methods... :(
Even just from Floppy Disks From Drives!...(Always same fail result, with this message, which on screenshot)

That error message just says "Put Disk 1 in Drive 0."

I would guess your images are failing a copy protection check.

SuperDeadite, hm, by your words, this means i must try search other copies of tis game? Problem in protected copy of Flopy Disk with this game...
If talk true, i found and downloaded this game megalomania only from 2 different sourcers yet... Maybe both was same and both protected, hm...

Updated...
After spended time i downloaded and testes:
Megalomania (1993)(Imagineer)(Disk 1 of 2)
Megalomania (1993)(Imagineer)(Disk 2 of 2)
from 4+ different sources-from different sites, resuls same - fail with run... :(

On the NFG Files Archive site is a HDF Image which (might) work from HDD (not tested from HDD).
I replaced the oped.x with the oped_hd.x from the hdf and the game seems to work from floppy.

Jehuty, you are have changed text\command in AUTOEXEC.BAT? Or also and in extracted\copied files from Floppy Disks to HDD from original file name OPED.X to name oped_hd.x?
Where exactly? Can you be more specific, please?

I have deleted the oped.x, copied oped_hd.x to the disk and renamed it.

Can you are share with link on this HDD ( .HDF ) with this ( Driver ) file oped_hd.x, please?

I also found this by googled in Google, and after began to try run this game not from their HDD Ready Image, but i want first run this game with new drivers(From their HDD Image) by this 3 methods from Floppy Disks...:

1. ( My favorite simple method, with driver 2HDboot.x ) :
2hdboot -$4 -aDisk1.XDF -bDisk2.XDF
␚

2. ( By Using Driver 2HDSIM.x ) :
drive a: c:
drive a: b:
2hdsim 0: Disk1
2hdsim 1: Disk2
a:
autoexec

3 .:
drive a: c:
drive a: b:
2hdsim 0: Disk1
2hdsim 1: Disk2
2hdsim 1: Disk3

mxdrv.x
loader.x

Just by putted drivers from their HDD ( .HDF ) with game MegaLoMania - to my HDD ( .HDS ) and to folder with Game, and to folder BIN on my HDD ( .HDS ) ... This drivers:
ASSDRV.X

OPED.X
OPED_HD.X

But, got fail with run game from Floppy Disks In Format .XDF ( Not in format .DIM ofcourse i converted formats in programm\utility vfic ) Now without message, which was on my screenshot, but just with black screen...
Jehuty, by using which method you are run game from Floppy? ( And from inside HDD by puting Floppy Disks on HDD in format .XDF or from Drives 0 ( a ), 1 ( b ) in format .DIM ? )

Jehuty, if you are not want say more specific about your own suesfully method of run Mega Lo Mania from Floppy Disks, then okay!

P.S.:
On screenshot 1, thsi just categories in folders...
For example in Category-In folder Mario, 2 different games about Mario.
In Folder-Category SailorMoon - 10+ Games about Sailor Moon.
In Category Marbles 4+ Games... etc...

Does this game actually work? I couldn't get past the setup screen where you choose an island, could not allocate troops to continue. Clicking and pressing keys have no effect.

incrediblehark, i will be testing this in free time for you are and will be sent results to here...
Also, incrediblehark, Global Moderator kendrick locked (I guess at spam messages not by theme and for negative) this topic about run Bishoujo Senshi Super Moon Fighter X (1995)(Sprite) on HDD from extracted files from Floppy Disks with game......

Here all same how and in game from this same Company:
Powermonger (1991)(Imagineer)

Hard to control, but possible!... If you are spend time on it, you will be all to understand...

Added\Updated:
P.S.:
I only now saw, understand what you are was means, and on which step you are freezed...
You are need press on island on top on screen, after setting up number of soldiiers in your army!

For control army\units use Right Button of Mouse, when you are will get Resources, set army, and main what you are to need, get Icon of Mouse - Sword! This is for moves - teleportations of your army to base of enemy, and to attack enemy Units and Base of enemy on map 2!
Use and Left and Right Buttons of Mouse for play in this game!...
Hard, but possible understand how control all in this game, and what for what, and what depends of what, what for what... How and in Powermonger (1991)(Imagineer)... And maybe in Populous from this same cool company Imagineer of cool strategy games(I like this), i just will be testing this game in furture, in plans also!...

Beated First Island\Stage\Map "Aloha" as Green Army, ahahahahaha

Hard to control, very old, simple graphich(But, for me this not matter), not ver good music(LOL, but anyway... How in some Kingdoms, and Knights...), but anyway funny game, heh
i very love deep retro! :)
And main, what this game finally run, tested, and work! This was for me main...

incrediblehark, look on this, lol
(https://i.ibb.co/LNZhDtB/Megalomania-8.png)

I ven do not know how, but got this improved of my base, and Units on first stage\map... lol
Even dug a protective ditch near my base...

Good first analog of Warcraft and Starcraft in begin of 1990's, when was NES, SEGA, SNES yet, ha-ha...

Not wanting to go too off topic, but just to give credit where it is due.

Mega Lo Mania was created by 'Sensible Software' who made some of the most iconic Amiga games. Sensible Soccer being one.

Powermonger was made by 'Bullfrog' another company that made some cracking games. Check out Syndicate.

I had Powermonger back in the day. You should be able to find the Amiga manual on the Internet.

Mega Lo Mania had lots of sampled speech, I don't know if that is on the X68000 version?

I see there are also some 'Microprose' games on the HD Image. Microprose were big in the 3D simulator games market.

I don't know if Imagineer converted any other Amiga/Atari ST games? (Both computers used Motorola 68000, but Amiga had many additional custom chips a bit like the Sharp).

The Amiga is my main old computer interest.

This nice, fun and smart, hard, but interesing strategy, with not simple control, but if after spending time on it can be understandable...

P.S.:
Also want to ask about other...
How your progress with run game Bishoujo Senshi Super Moon Fighter X (1995)(Sprite) on HDD's?

Since your thread was locked I posted the solution for you in your reddit post. Maybe in the future we should post software related issues/fixes in the X68000 Software section of the forums.

Quote from: incrediblehark on December 17, 2023, 02:12:14 AMSince your thread was locked I posted the solution for you in your reddit post. Maybe in the future we should post software related issues/fixes in the X68000 Software section of the forums.

I am sorry that my "dispute" with @Sugo77 was the cause of the thread closure, and I apologize here to him if I misunderstood his messages.
But, I agree with the suggestion to use the Software section for discussions like this! ;)

And I am waiting for your new HD image!

No worries!

And I am making steady progress. I apologize for the extra delays but I think everyone will be happy with it, and I am using the time to add more content as well, can't have a big update without adding more games/etc!

incrediblehark, solved!
You are superman!
Thanks you very much as your brains!
After many years i finally runned Sailor Moon X(2 versions of this game) from HDD!
I'm happy! :)

I just replied to your Reddit post, good to hear you got it solved!

incrediblehark, hello again!

Again me and agin new pronlems with run games...
Now again new hard problem and again can't run...
Now again from Compamy Imagineer...
Game name Populous Promised Land, from one Floppy Disk:
Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer)
or same:
Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer)[a]

This game rquired install...
I know how install games on HDD, by use command Install from\inside DOS...
In old times, in 2019 year, i even installed hard to istall game, which was also need [Req Install] Super Street Bomber X (19xx)(Dragon Studio)[Req Install], me was helped one friend from my Country in old times in old times, now he is always busy...

This game Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer) from Imagineer, can't be installed by old method, this game even have own instalator inside Floppy Disk ( INSTALL.X driver, which different from base Instalator of Sharp x68000 )...
Screenshot №1:
(https://i.ibb.co/kHb9DgL/1.png)
So, when i try Install game from Floppy Disk A to my HDD C,
Screenshot №2:
(https://i.ibb.co/fHK6gmq/2.png)
always this error:
Screenshot №3:
(https://i.ibb.co/M8kH0fV/1.png)
I not sure, what this error mean(On Japanese Language), but i guess (Maybe), this game also protected how and Mega Lo Mania, whcih also from same Company Imagineer?

Also, i was try to do next:
Copied All files from Floppy Disk Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer) to my HDD(Copied their INSTALL.X to folder BIN, and even removed their driver and tried used default Install in DOS, anyway alwaways was getted fail results... :(
Screenshot №4:
(https://i.ibb.co/nBSHhH0/4.png)
Screenshot №5:
(https://i.ibb.co/KNFdhGJ/5.png)

P.S.:
incrediblehark, i saw on your HDD Image, games Populous and Populous 2, which and me runned easy on my HDD with SX-Window, but not this game...
So, question, you are also tryed run this game and also got fail with run or not try yet?...
Plus, any ideas and from other people who maybe know solutions, or maybe someone know, where can found and can downloading maybe already installed and working this game on HDD?

incrediblehark, after spend some time, i found in internet This Manual on Japanese Language, about How To Install this game Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer) from Imagineer:
https://archive.org/download/Sharp_X68000_Collection/Sharp_X68000_Collection.zip/Sharp%20X68000%2FPopulous%20-%20The%20Promised%20Lands%20%28Imagineer%29%2FPopulous%20-%20The%20Promised%20Lands%20%5Bextras%5D.zip
But:
1.: This Manual an Japanese Language...
2.: I was try translate by picture, but translators working not correct, and i still not understand what need to do...
3.: I think, this Manual maybe for Real hardware, not for Emulators of Computers Sharp x68000...
Not sure...

Quote from: Jehuty on December 07, 2023, 03:21:31 AMI have deleted the oped.x, copied oped_hd.x to the disk and renamed it.

Jehuty, only today 21.12.2023 i understand how repair and from Floppy Diskets game Mega Lo Mania by this your method!... :)
Thanks x2...
https://i.ibb.co/mNjGFpV/Megalomania-13.png
I always just was use Copy All from Floppy Disks to HDD, but never, never, never the other way around! :)
I'm upgraded my knowdges, and opened something new for myself in Shapr x68000... Leveled my up in knowdgess! :)
Also(After tests), if run Mega Lo Mania from Floppy Disks or from this Method\Script\Command:
2hdboot -$4 -aDisk1.XDF -bDisk2.XDF
␚Game not have visual glitches(On maps, +on some strong improved units), which have if run from HDD, if all files in one folder...

Btw, how i can remove files in DOS?(Which Command for this) I can remove files only in SX-Window...

Btw, question about Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer) still actual and opened to all...

Today 22.12.2023, i was try used other differents methods, from example:
1.: Was try install from Floppy Disk A to Floppy Disk B or from B to A, and this even said "Installed and can be run after reset Machine", but in fact no!...(I checked and on Floppy Disks, and in DOS, and in SX-Window)
(https://i.ibb.co/bBCV25V/7.png)
Also, i saw on Floppy Disk, which named:
Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer)[a]
Not:
Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer)
Additional contetnt files inside:
(https://i.ibb.co/k60GTmk/6.png)
But, from this Floppy Disk, i even can't install files, i do not know why... Always error with this message:
(https://i.ibb.co/M8kH0fV/1.png)
2.: By manual, i was try use in first Drive 0, Floppy Disk, with Human68 System:
Human 68k v3.02 (1993)(Sharp - Hudson)[a]
In Drive 1, Floppy Disk, with game:
Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer) 
And after, when loaded DOS, i changed Disks from DOS on Disk with game:
Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer)
And again was try install... This said installed, but in fact again no!
And when i just reset machine\emulator, then Floppy Disks just auto ejected, i even do not know why... Maybe protected, maybe i found broken floppy disks with this game, maybe glicth, maybe i do somthing wrong?

Any additional ideas from anyone?

P.S.:
Added after spended time...
I found different Floppy Disks, with this same game in other format .HDM:
Populous - The Promised Lands.HDM
Populous - The Promised Lands [Set 1].HDM
But, inside this Floppy Disks same content with same files,
(https://i.ibb.co/RjJjmWp/8.png)
and this also gived all same results when try installed...
But, just not not give error when installed from A to B or from B to A, but if from A or B to HDD C, again error, with this message:
(https://i.ibb.co/M8kH0fV/1.png)

Added again latter...
Also i was try to do next...:
From insade of 2 HDD's(And from Visual Shell SX-Window), i also was try installing this game from one HDD to other HDD, but still fail... And i was try to do from 2 different Floppy Disks with this same game, which must work from one Floppy Disk:
Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer).DIM
Populous - The Promised Lands.HDM
(https://i.ibb.co/nBSHhH0/4.png)
Files in folder DATA:
(https://i.ibb.co/KNFdhGJ/5.png)
Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer)[a].DIM
Populous - The Promised Lands [Set 1].HDM
(https://i.ibb.co/tBG879f/9.png)
Files in folder DATA:
(https://i.ibb.co/KNFdhGJ/5.png)

Any additional ideas from anyone?(How install and\or run this game from HDD or from Floppy Disks?) Maybe someone have links with successfully installed and runns this game on HDD?

This protected game or what?(For example - protected from copy or install, i not sure...)

And again added later...
But, if you are try installed this game from\inside HDD to HDD, then new error:
(https://i.ibb.co/ZfKghx5/10.png)
This said something about rename on Promise Land, and then only Install... I also was try to do and this, anyway even not begin Installing from HDD...
Strange...

incrediblehark and others, after spend additional time(2 days from begin of work at tryings solve this problem to run Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer), i found information here:
https://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=x68000:game_notes
, what Populous Promised Land by Imagineer this is "Add-on disk for Populous", and then, with this new infromation(For me, because i before i even do not was know, what in old times also was addons how DLC in our modern times for games), well, after new information i went to check and compare the contents of the DATA folders in the original Populos and Populous Promised Land, and this was different!
For example, i will use Populos game from HDD Image by incrediblehark
Screenshot №1:
(https://i.ibb.co/BnkYBj5/11-Folder-Data-From-Game-Populous-From-HDD-HDS-By-incrediblehark-23-12-2023.png)
After i was try add\Install all from Populous Promised Land to original Populous on Floppy Disks by use their driver INSTALL.X which was in their Floppy Disk Populous Promised Land, and this said onn japanese "sucesfully installed"(I was translated by picture), but in fact again no!
Then i just was use command Copyall in DOS, and copied all files from Floppy Disk Populous Promised Land to HDD Image by incrediblehark, but only to folder Data, and got this:
Screenshot №2:
(https://i.ibb.co/RcDcR09/12-Folder-Data-From-Game-Populous-From-HDD-HDS-By-incrediblehark-Files-From-Floppy-Disk-Populous-Pro.png)
After i go testing game, but got this just in begin of this game...: :(
Screenshot №3:
(https://i.ibb.co/ggm1ZF5/13.png)
Btw, i not saw something new or different in game Populous after when i added files from folder Data to original Data of game Populous from Floppy Disk Populous Promised Land:
Screenshot №4:
(https://i.ibb.co/8rC2Rm4/12.png)
Btw, i even not sure add-on acepted or no, working or no or just because this need something changing in script\!Start.BAT by incrediblehark or also was need copyed files not only to Data folder, but files only in data, in other 1 main root of this Floppy Disk, only Install.X files...
This add-on have glitches or i not correct installed or not sure...

P.S.:
incrediblehark, strange, i can't run games on my HDD ( .HDS ) by your !Start.BAT in main root of games with 2 parts, for example Populous(With games\folders Populous1 Populous2) or SpaceSoldier(With games\folders SpaceSoldier1 SpaceSoldier2), but in folders 1 and 2 by each games, they run fine! :) I guess, this because your script for your HDD Image, and your driver inside this... Maybe i just not have some drivers or need change command to my HDD, i gues in this reason, but i just not pro in it...
Anyway, want say additional thanks to you man and for this! Great work+additional thanks for game
Game - Shmup, 3D Vector Game,

Space Soldier II, by Studio Theta, published by the doujin circle Amusement Makers in 1992
I was search this game long time and found only on your HDD Image!

For complete happiness, it remains only to deal with Populous Promised Land until the end...(I sure this also possible...)

Btw, by this Manual at Japanese Language maybe said something about how run this ADD-ON Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer), but this all on japanese language, and the translators by pictures, which in internet working not ideal... I can't understand correct this manual... :(
There is 3 Pages even...
https://archive.org/download/Sharp_X68000_Collection/Sharp_X68000_Collection.zip/Sharp%20X68000%2FPopulous%20-%20The%20Promised%20Lands%20%28Imagineer%29%2FPopulous%20-%20The%20Promised%20Lands%20%5Bextras%5D.zip

When I was setting up populous on my image I think I encountered a similar issue when trying to install the expansion pack, promised lands. It's been a while so I can't quite remember but I ended up not bothering with it. I may try to go back and see if I can get them to work together if I have time.

incrediblehark, man hello!
I happy what you are back, wait a second my friend, i got something after spend another hours...
Will share with results in minutes...

incrediblehark, after spend another hours, got something new!...

If i correct to understand, in Manual to this Disk Populous Promised Land saids someting about what first by ADD-On Disk must be EDO, i think this EDO sprites on this Map now!...

How i got this, but only by using Floppy Disks?
Just inserted first Floppy Disk with original game Populous to Drive 0 ( A ), and when original game Populous loaded i inserted to Second Drive 1 ( B ) Disk Populous Promised Land , then for me this gived DOS environment in which I installed the content from ADD-on Disk Populous Promised Land from B to A, with original disk A, and this was sucesfulled!(Said that on Japanese Language). Then i just reset machine\emulator, and by Manual(Not sure how to correct on or time), just by random methods: Presssing in menu some text+pressing buttons ESC i was aborted process, and then i for a chance and test just changed disks in Drives  0 ( A ) to 1 ( B ), i means i insert to A Disk with ADD-on Populous Promised Land and to Disk B Original Game Populous, and then i got this Sprites from Ages of EDO with units Samurais, lol

But, man, this just from Floppy Disks... Totally not sure how to do this on HDD's... Lol and heh and eh... :( :)
Plus, i even not sure in than this sucesfully installed content from 1 floppy disk to other, because no space for this, and only on one game always, means temporary installed(Or even not installed or installed in "Temp Folder" which will be autoremoved when Floppy with Addon will be ejected and after again need will be instert and again need will be installing additional content to original disk with original game Populous), this all strange for me, but works... But, only form Floppy Disks...
I guess this will be Very Hard mission for run this all correct on our HDD Images, heh...(Now i even not sure this possible even or no, after time and tests, and when saw how need run this addon even on Floppy Disks... This OMG how hard...)

Also, what i understand after time and tests aout this game and this ADD-on Promise Land...
If you are typed in "WORLD TO CONQUER" word GENESIS, this will be first Map, but with other sprites of Units and buidings on first map(Not sure about next maps, i just beginer in this game...):
(https://i.ibb.co/dJ2wNwW/19.png)

Also, in Japanese Manual to this ADD-on Promise Lands, saids, what we are can change our sprites\skins\army models even to Western Style, etc, but not sure how and when... Maybe this will be in next mission-map-location... But, in Manual somethings say about use "Insert" for select and changing, i tested and anyway not understand how, where and when, heh...

Did you figure it out? I attached a floppy disk of Populous with the Promised Lands expansion installed. Try using
this disk and let me know if it works for you.


EDIT: Looks like you already got this part completed.

EDIT 2: Removed floppy attachment

incrediblehark, man, no i not solved this yet...
Understand only how to do on Floppy Disks yet, lol... :( :)
Will try in free time your files, thanks...
Now i just must to go in RL for doing my things...(Was at PC full day...)
After back to house again, will be agin try to do new attemps... Was doing 1001 attemps, but all was fail yet, heh
Maybe with your files will some luck...
In free time, will be testing and sending results to here...

incrediblehark, i mean main mission run this ADD-on on HDD...
From Floppy Disks, yes, i understand how run ADD-on...
From\on HDD no...

incrediblehark, i fast tested your Floppy Disk Populous Promised Land Installed
Not working for me...
Game just loading to Menu, with insert name od thy(Even not sure what this and not remember in original game), and next loading next menu with insert which World will be Using "This Shield"(Or something like this message), and then Machine\Emulator just reseting always, or putted me to my SX-Window , HDD Image... Strange... Even if i puted to Drive B original game Populous...(Anyway same error and autoreload Machine\Emulator) Very strange and bugged...
Okay, on this step, i must to go...
Will be latter for give any answers or do new tests...

incrediblehark, okay.

Pre AFK, i just want add this message... 
On your Floppy Disk Populous Promised Land Installed, i not saw this files in folder DATA from Floppy Disk Populous Promised Land:
(https://i.ibb.co/RcDcR09/12-Folder-Data-From-Game-Populous-From-HDD-HDS-By-incrediblehark-Files-From-Floppy-Disk-Populous-Pro.png)
With additional Lands and Sprites...
I saw on your Floppy Disk "Populous Promised Land Installed", files only from original Populous... Maybe this why gived error...

Ok, try these disks. I can get the game to load but not sure of the differences between promised lands and original populous. I think there are supposed to be extra maps so maybe that would be a good indicator?

These floppies aren't bootable - copy them to your HDD, make sure all files from DATA folder from each disk goes together. There is no !Start.Bat on this, but you will want to use the following commands in it:

OPMDRV.X
populous

Let me know if it works!

EDIT: Removed attachment

Okay, i will be testing in run of ~hour-two and will be senting results...

incrediblehark, man, i copied all(By this command Copyall in DOS) your content from 2 your  Floppy Disks:
Populous Promised 1
Populous Promised 2
To my HDD with SX-Window to one folder Populous, and when i try run game by use Populous.X, this is runned only to menu, in which need type name of World, "Which world will be use this shield" or some, then always error with this message:
(https://i.ibb.co/SKDmxf6/20.png)
And after this me autoputted to Visual Shell SX-Window...

How and in previous situation with previous files i think...
I was try translate by picture, and i think this said something about FM sound driver or some, maybe my HDD Image just not have this driver?

Hmm, I was able to get it through by renaming pop.x to popold.x, then copying pop.x from the working hdd install of populous over to to my promised lands folder. Run promised lands again to create a username, then I quit and deleted pop.x in promised lands folder and renamed popold.x to pop.x. I think the problem is copy protection when setting up a new user. In the disks i attached previously there is a file named username.idx in the DATA folder, but it is hidden, read only, and system flags attached to it. So maybe it didn't copy over for you.

Btw, for understand accepted and working or no ADD-on, you are can easy understand about this by next method...
If you qre will use button ESC in menu, where you are will be chosing "WORLD TO CONQUER", where you can typed name "GENESIS", then this will be accepted content from ADD-on, and must autochnaged all sprites on first content from ADD-on from Promised Land Disk on Ages of EDO, with Units Samurais!
That is must works...
Desciption also will be autochanging on this...:
(https://i.ibb.co/dJ2wNwW/19.png)

But, for me now, if i press ESC in menu, where i must typed names, always crash with error which in previous my post... This from your Floppy Disks, and i do not know why...
Maybe me need some driver or your Floppy Disk which you are found in internet with this game have buges or not all files... I not sure...

I understand...
Me always need time x2...
First because langue barrier.
Second i always do all slowly for understand better!...
Will be do in time and will be sending results...

Quote from: incrediblehark on December 24, 2023, 03:33:19 AMRun promised lands again to create a username,

A small, but important clarification in this part of your method...
By which file exactly you run game at this stage/step? popold.x(Which was pop.x) or popolous.x?

Alright, I think I understand. The install just patched the original Populous disk to be usable with promised lands. Then during game you use the DEL key to access the promised lands content. I think in this case because the system is looking for a physical disk, unless the game can be patched to remove that check, you may be stuck with using an actual disk. You may be able to use 2hdsim just for the promised lands disk and see if it will access in game. I'm going to try this now...

I was using this to bypass the copy protection by copying the pop.x from Populous (not patched for promised lands) just to get a username created. I think if you can access the username.idx file on the disk and copy it over to your folder you don't need to do this.

By your method now me not automoves anymore to Visual Shell and Machine not autorebooted\not reseting\not reloading, with this all fine now, but and additional content from Promise Land not acepted-not activited anymore... :(
I do not know why...
Additional Content from Promise Island must be activited by press ESC in options how said Manual at Japanese Langue here:
https://archive.org/download/Sharp_X68000_Collection/Sharp_X68000_Collection.zip/Sharp%20X68000%2FPopulous%20-%20The%20Promised%20Lands%20%28Imagineer%29%2FPopulous%20-%20The%20Promised%20Lands%20%5Bextras%5D.zip

And this working on Floppy Disks. do not know why not working on HDD... :(

ok, I got it. Its all working for me. when you start up a game conquest, go to settings and click custom and paint map, then start. INS and DEL will cycle through available skins/tilesets which include the new ones like block world and samurai.

if you get a message asking for a disk by pressing INS, click cancel and press the DEL key instead, or vice versa. when you get that message that means it has cycled through all available on disk and is looking for more when prompted for landscape disk. But they are all installed on my image.

I think I may be able to help you. I'll reupload my floppy disks with the username.idx not hidden so you can copy all over and see if the game works for you.

Thanks you!
I will checking and testing in few time, not sure how long, but will be do this... Thnaks...

incrediblehark, man i tested... And again same error:
(https://i.ibb.co/SKDmxf6/20.png)

I was just use Copyall in DOS from both your Floppy Disks:
Populous Promised 1
Populous Promised 2
And in game i can move maximum only to the first menu when neeed type name!(When need type some name) But, when i just try type any name, then 2-3 attemps(Name even autoremoved to empty always, when i try accept name after typed in text window), and system again auto-moves me to Visuall Shell SX-Window...

incrediblehark, if you are can, can you are just share with your working game Promised Land in archive?
I even not sure now in which can be problem...
How you are was install game on your HDD Image?
By use command Copyall in DOS or by use Disk Explorer, or by which method?
And from which Floppy Disk need copy content first? I checked they have same files in your folder DATA...(Hm, even maybe in this reason... In original Floppy Disks Populous and Populous Promised Land have different files in their folders DATA, not dupicated-not replaies, in your many dublicates-replaies files, with same names on both Floppy Disks in folders DATA...)
Also, maybe because your file username.idx was changed or no? I totally not sure now in which can be reasons of errors... :(
And last...
In begin, after copied all files to my HDD from your last uploaded files with Floppy Disks, for first run game, i was use POP.X, maybe first was need use Populous.X?(Also maybe in this can be reason of error?)

P.S.:
Btw!
After spended additional time, and doing additionat tests, i was try copy files from your Floppy Disks inside Visual Shell SX-Window, and... All files was copied and just only file username.idx not want copied... Strange file, really maybe protected, and maybe exactly in this file main reason of errors... I not sure...

Of course, I'm almost done with my HDD image - you can load it up and move the files over to your image. I usually use LHES when copying files as it will see all hidden and system files. I'm not sure why it isn't working for you.

incrediblehark, yes man! Now almost all working and for me...(But, not all yet... Small detail will be in end of this text after qutoes...
After spending addtitional 2-3 hours i also got working by your all methods in onw...
Was use this, this need for frst time, or not will working nothing...:

Second, i not was know how change skins, sprites, maps...
After this your guide and with this solved!...(But, after this quote, will be small deatail, what we are not finish yet...):

Now all working, even i can play on Winter Map(My favorite seaon and in video-games also)

But, now to detail...
This all good, and we are solved i think many, but man... This how i understand we are get only for custom-free game on one match maybe... For conquest mode this not work, but from Floppy Disks, this is working, and even we are can see and reading briefing\plot how on this pictures for Samurais\EDO:
(https://i.ibb.co/dJ2wNwW/19.png)

I do not know how this to do for this on HDD and possible this or no, but anyway we are get many from today...
(https://i.ibb.co/R37pnXc/21.png)
(https://i.ibb.co/vJgNcYW/22.png)

What did you do to get those options with the floppy disk boot? It may end up needing 2hdsim to achieve this...

Quote from: incrediblehark on December 24, 2023, 07:55:49 AMWhat did you do to get those options with the floppy disk boot? It may end up needing 2hdsim to achieve this...

Man, this(Method) already was here...:
https://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?msg=49283
From began at words "how i got this"...
Sorry my bad english language and as big texts, but about this was there...

incrediblehark, sorry as a little rude text in previous message to you... We are together anyway solved so many tasks for short time with run hard games, and this perfect, heh...

If in simple word to say my method, I just swapped the disks around, and pressed Insert-del, and installed the content from the disk with additional material, I just don't know where, it looks like from disk to disk, and then a message appeared with a story about Samurai...

Well, now I tried the method of replacing disks with each other on the 'Conquest' screen, and I got this plot and the units too, but the plot is not always.... It's harder to understand... I did it mostly in random ways, if  talk the true even not sure how correctly got this..  Just by random different methods... How and i said in begin, by ~1001 random methos... (Now even not remember exactly how. True...)

P.S.:
And i think last info on today...
What i was try to do, translate Japanese Manual to this game, and trying to do all form instructions... Anyway this was hard and working only 50 on 50+language bariers, translators in internet work not ideal...
You can also try translate, there is helpful inforamtion and instructions even with pictures...(How run correct Promise Island and content from this... And how select this... Hard to understand, but some words can be understandable by use translators by pictures in internet...)
https://archive.org/download/Sharp_X68000_Collection/Sharp_X68000_Collection.zip/Sharp%20X68000%2FPopulous%20-%20The%20Promised%20Lands%20%28Imagineer%29%2FPopulous%20-%20The%20Promised%20Lands%20%5Bextras%5D.zip

No worries! It was my fault for skipping past what you had earlier. I am not too familiar with this game so the interface is a little clunky for me.

incrediblehark, pre sleep, i was do next, and this also gived some results again...
In Disk A insert original Disk with Populous, waiting to Title Menu, where Castle(Picture), next step insert Floppy Disk Promised Island, after press button ESC - this will launch\run the DOS environment. Next step - Install content to Floppy A, where game Populous, next this will be saids on japanese language Installed Sucessfully, next, we are need moving to another disk in DOS (A: B: or B: A: depends in which Drive your Disk with Populous) with the game Populous, after in DOS. i typed command Populous.x or just Populous(And press Enter), this will be automatic reset machine\emulator, and additional content in game will be active! Can chose and play but only by Floppy Disks!
Now i must go on rest...

Forgot add last...
After this, what i said in previous post, need swap disk from Drive 0 ( A ) with game Populous to Disk Promised Land, and you will be get Plot about Samurais\EDO in Conquest!
And yes, main... Need press button ESC in Conquest one or more time, i do not know why, but about this saids even in Manual on japanese language... This will be accept\activate totally Japanese Samurai History\Plot and Game, Map, Units, etc...
Perfect, workiing method man!(Now tested 2 times)
Now really need to go on rest...
Good luck with attemps...

After trying to get it to work, I don't think this will be possible. I am removing my install as it is incomplete - can't access the new maps. The problem is that hitting ESC would trigger a disk check in Drive 0: (A:) but there is no disk inserted. If you load from the HDD it doesn't look like it reads the floppy drives. You would need to patch the game to not make those checks and read from the HDD instead I think. Sorry to say but I'm giving up on this for now. Maybe you will have more luck...

Heh, no problem!
Anyway we are already get many from this game(Populous), and even play on HDD in Custom Mode at differenet skins(\Units) of armies and on map, much better than nothing!
And anyway, we are always can play from Floppy Disks, why not...
Anyway how always thanks for feedback, and anyway how always you are great...
If talk true, sometimes at my house i begin call you are Master of Sharp x68000! :)

Thanks for all at this step...

Will see by time, what next will be give again by fate, but maybe now, with all gotten exprience with this all, maybe will solved problems with run games and content from Sharp x68000 even just by myself, time will show...
On this moment anyway, i sucesfully runed 50+ games from Sharp x68000 on HDD, and on Floppy Disks as some months...

Thanks for this forum and to users here!
You are best!...

incrediblehark, man!
You are can grrats me with my next victory at hard task-target-mission!
This not complete on ideal, not on 100% working, but on 90% now yes!(Main what this run now!...)
Thsi is was last game, which i can't was run in old times on our days!
But!...
After getted all skill, after previous our collaboration works at Sharp X68000 and sowtware of this, and plus after reading many information and on this forum also about Sharp X68000 i gotted a lot skills enough for try solve problems and just by myself!... heh, i so happy... :)
In previous time i even can't run this game on Floppy Disk and even not was think "what the fak?!", "why this not run even on Floppy Disk?!", i was thinked this game or broken or some... And aslo this not was run and on HDD...
Now i get run this game and on HDD and from Floppy!...

Step by step, file by file+using experience which got in our colobaration work, first what i was to do and first what i understand...:
Btw, i speak about shet(Not want use bad wors on emotions, and will be change\replace this words on my! :) ) Japanese Game for Adults 18+. Yes, i know, what Jpanese Developers love sometime doing content for Adults even in Video-Games, and they sometimes crazy at this, i think you aree too know about it... But, this not matter, becasuse for me not interesting this in adult age+i was think this cool game about Sailor Moon... In internet i found only 1 picture with this game and ofcourse no videos for known reasons...
https://wowroms-photos.com/emulators-roms-logo/47/61649/420-420/Sailor+Moon+Shibaigoya+(19xx)(Big+Parfait)-image.jpg
Before i was thinked, this fakin strategy game just with pictures from sailor Moon(I was love this anime in old times and video-games fighting and beat'um ap all series), so and found and dl this game... I about game:

Sailor Moon Shibaigoya (19xx)(Big Parfait)

This game not runned even from Floppy Disks, in old time i was think this broken, but when i began communication on this forum with you are all, i understand what sometimes games can be protected... Also i think this protecting and for adult games 18+(Plus i was saw this and another games, which was protected from copies,a nd also games  with category adult 18+), well, and now to main...
On our days, i saw what this game have some nude pictures, when checked by use Disk Explorer and Exported files to my PC, but i saw this and in LHES on your HDD Image(And on popular HDD with LHES from others authors) when puted this game for exatract some files...
Aha!
Now to main, on Floppy Disk with this game, i saw some hidden files and files in archives .lzh, i was remember how can extract files by arichves in LHES, i puted this game to your disk and extracted from archives, but anyway this game not was work, this game use BASIC.
Also, from spended addtional 1-2 days, i found how in DOS, we are can make hidden files to visible and readable:
By this great post by user Magic Knight:
https://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=3911.0
And by this from user eidis:
https://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=5326.0
So, what next?
I just unhide all files on this fakin Floppy Funny Disk, and make all readable!
So, what next? I just copy all files to my HDD Image, after copied on your HDD Image, extracted from LZH, again puted on my HDD Image. In SX-Window i copied all fiels from my HDD Image to thiss Bull Shet Floppy Disk, with this Bull Shet Game for Adults, but forgot to said, first i remove all from this Floppy Disk!
And then got new problem on this Floppy, with Size!
But, anyway, i just was copy file by file, step by step, and main files i think understand what was need for run this game...
And whoah! This s run now and on Floppy Disk(On 90% working, because 90% files on it from this game), and maybe full working on HDD, but also not sure, i just all was do by random methods...
And now to main...
I do not care abbout what this nude faking bull shet game for adults 18+, main was understand, how we are ca run hard to run game with protercts!
And i got this and solved just by myself on this time!
Heh...
(https://i.ibb.co/WnmRsnS/1.png)

P.S.:
Ofcourse i not will be posting to here content for adults(18+) foe understandable reasons...
Just some fun pictures from game, and for understand, what possible run even hard-protected games... This cool senses, when you are can solve something hard, especially for beginners... :)

Also solved(Not on 100%, but on 90+ %, i sure!...)
+1 to Experience and to next Level of knowledge about Sharp X68000!
Heh :)

incrediblehark, i even not was to want asks about help from you with run this, because this really garbage shet game for adults... But, was interesting to solve and founds ways and methods how can run this...
And after spended some time, founds some lucky ways to solve by getted expirence and knowdgess in previous hards...

Just this pictures from this garbage, lol
This need run from ADV.BAS(Other files with extensions .bas better not open by two reasons: 1.Spoilers, 2.: Shock Contents only for Adults 18+) - I think this means - "Adventure by use Basic commands or commands in basic, but this game only text and pictures, like visuall novell, nothing more... Just only for favorites of this genere or this anime, or just for adults or pervents, i not sure, lol ahahaha
All in one or some-one of this... Not matter, matter what possible to run even if hard to run something if try hard...
And now as spended time, what we are already sucesfully runned - hard to run for Sharp X68000:
1.: Bishoujo Senshi Super Moon Fighter X (1995)(Sprite)
2.: Megalomania (1993)(Imagineer)
3.: Populous Promised Land (19xx)(Imagineer)

P.S.:
In other words, Hard - gives experience!

P.S.2.0.:
I traslated and readed text on Japanese Language in file Readme.doc by developer of Sailor Moon Shibaigoya (19xx)(Big Parfait), there is big history of his life and also hard to programmed this game in old times, heh... Interesting was to read...
