Quote from: spectreman on May 29, 2024, 07:38:25 AMI've noticed that Star Trader crashes when my Cyber Stick is set to analog.
Maybe it could be due to the type of controller he connected to his Expert.

I've tried with an FMT Marty pad, as well as a Mega Drive pad in both 2 and 6 button mode using the CPA-001 adapter from Capcom. The crash occurs with both. I have no other controllers to test.

Thanks for the advice, though.

How strange...

THANKS ! I'll try !   I will come back with the results

I tried Street Fighter 2 and Fatal Fury and wasn't able to play, they both error. Was using FW Version: 2024.04.02-release Apr  3 2024 02:22:50, the pull request with the x68000 quirks should already be in by that release.

Moving games is simple:

When the program launches, it will ask you to select the desired image.
Open the .HDS or .IMA image.
Select the Human68k HDD SCISI profile.
The games are all found inside the Games folders, in the case of the image X68000_V4.HDS (Released by Eidis).

You can open multiple images at the same time, by starting the program again, and drag the folders wherever you want, even directly into other HDD images.
But without editing some .BAT files will not boot.

Always test with the emulator before trying them on real hardware.

In the case of the HDD image released by incrediblehark, the situation is different, with the emulator you have to move between the different partitions, as indicated previously.
Then press the HELP key on the emulator's virtual keyboard, just before the emulated image starts.
Only after selecting the partition with the emulator will it be possible to view the contents with the editdisk.exe program.

Below is the link to the program:

Good fun.

Create a folder named Games.
Insert the games you want to replace inside, making the necessary changes.
Using the emulator such as XM6 TypeG, immediately before the HDD image starts, select Tools-Software Keyboard from the menu and press the HELP button at the top right.
Select the second partition, (the one in the center) and close the emulator.
Using the Windows program editd169e, delete the defective versions present in the HDD image.
With the emulator do the procedure as indicated previously, and select the first partition (the one at the top).
start editd169e again, you will have to free up space, I recommend deleting the Multimedia folder, or at least some of the demo MIDI files.
Now you can copy the Games folder to the C: partition, as in the previous HDD images (Primary partition).

EXAMPLE:

Bonanza Bros (incrediblehark version) and edit the !Strat.BAT file like this:
SET GAME_PATH=C:\Games\BonanzaBros

Die Bahnwelt (Eidis version X68000_V4) edit all three .BAT files like this:
set BAHNWELT=C:\GAMES\DIEBAHNWELT\BW

Knight Arms (Eidis version X68000_V4) does not need to be modified.

Neural Gear (Eidis version X68000_V4) edit the !Start.BAT file like this:
SUBST B: C:\GAMES\NEURALGEAR
SUBST TO: C:\GAMES\NEURALGEAR

Super Hang-On (first version released by Eidis: https://nfggames.com/X68000/Music/Eidis/X68000.zip)
There is no need to change it.

In the case of Neural Gear, commands are executed only with the mouse (Trackball mode).

Regarding Aquales, the simple solution is to copy it to floppy disk, as I have already recommended previously.

When you boot your HDD image, move to the C: partition with the L key on your keyboard.

The games listed are DEFECTIVE, so replace them as indicated, or wait for them to be fixed.

I hope I have been useful to you.

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

Thank you so much ! I'm going to try that! On the other hand, I have the "hds" version of the X68000_V4 image (eidis) and I don't know how to extract the games 0_o

Hey, I just noticed your reply here, thanks! Yes, I've already found your stuff just by googling for information, while I was working on X68000 things. I will then do a PR against your version, as I just checked, and some of the issues still seem to be in there. Free Pascal itself is self-hosted, so it doesn't need GCC or a libc, but it's still good for everyone if these issues are corrected.

If you allow me, I will also port some of your example programs to Pascal. I will keep a reference/credit to your original, of course.

I'm very busy these days with other things, but I'll get there!

Quote from: ateam on May 27, 2024, 11:44:14 PMI wanted to report an issue I discovered with Star Trader (Shooters->Horizontal).

On my XVI, the game seems to run just fine. On my Expert, the game freezes at a particular moment in the opening scene.

I'm using a Henkan Bancho Pro in both. Is anyone able to reproduce?

Try changing controller.

I hope this can help you.

Maybe it could be due to the type of controller he connected to his Expert.
