SIG X68000 / Re: SxSI-SCSI HDD Image v3.01
Last post by tugs - March 18, 2025, 05:11:08 PMQuote from: incrediblehark on March 18, 2025, 09:42:09 AM@tugs no problem! Akumajou Dracula usually saves after a game over, and you will start back at the level right after a stage boss. I think that may be why it seems like your progress isn't saving? Please test it out and let me know.
Hi shark,
Thanks for the reply . The situation is more about the first setup of a game .
There is a screen like this one https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/5/5a/Dracula%27s_Curse_-_Name_Entry_Screen_-_01.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20150815202756
Where we can enter your nickname.
Every time I'm relaunching the game, I need to re-enter it again, and again
.As akumajo, like more or less all the games included with SCSI Image, is loaded through an emulation of floppy disk drives, i wonder if this is not a limitation of this mechanism (emulating the floppy disks disallows the ability to save things about the game)

On your Zuiki X68000 Z don't change the default boot order, leave them as incrediblehark configured them.
Example:
ID1=SxSI-SCSI_v301_disk1.hds
ID2=SxSI-SCSI_v301_disk2.hds
ID3=SxSI-SCSI_v301_disk3.hds
ID4=SxSI-SCSI_v301_disk4.hds
Switch.x settings:
BOOT: SCSI1
SCSI_ID: 7
You can also try setting HD_MAX: 4
@sorimanis I have X68000z and I use this setting to mount 4 HDS image sucessfully.
After bootup, You need to press PC keyboard right side key number "1" to change the drive for choose games.
Most of the games are stowage in D drive and E drive. Hope you succeed!

Last post by tugs - March 18, 2025, 06:33:15 AMHi there
Sorry if the question has been already asked but how to save games configuration / progression with this image ?
For instance, I'm playing Akumajo, everytime I launch the game, I need to re-enter my nickname and my progression is reseted
Thanks !

Last post by soviet - March 17, 2025, 08:44:17 AMQuote from: relo on September 23, 2024, 05:30:11 AMHow can you get the icons to work?
I got the image working great with the exception of the icons, for which not even the system default icons show up. Outside of the a handful of OS specific programs nothing seems to be there in icon mode (and even the OS specific programs have a blank icon). To access most any of the software on the image I first need to go to list mode rather than simply use the default icons mode. Not a major issue but I'd like to get it to a fully working state.
This is the case on both the full image and the small image.
(Also the first post seems to be wrong on both images when it comes to boot drive selection, everything seems to have shifted 2 drive letters as on my Fresh the bootdrive is E not G)
Yes getting the icons to show seems to be the hard part same issue here.

RGB + Video Discussions / Re: N64 RGB "Mod" on NUS-001(F...
Last post by Nitroschnitzel - March 15, 2025, 06:39:28 AMGreetings, sorry for necroing this old Thread but it seems that all informations gathered here are used today so i have some questions to clarify.
As far as i could thread through this Link83 told that the "Official" N64 FRA RGB mod is uing wrong Parts ?
And for proper RGB we should use the NTSC RGB Mod even for this Consoles ?
Do i have understand that correct ?
I bought 2x 001-FRA Consoles from france totaly stock.
My goal was to use RGB and also ordered the original France PAL SNES RGB Scart Cables,
but now i am a bit worried that all Informations in the internet are wrong ?
Also i tried to figure out if its possible to restore S-Video to that FRA onsoles, on all sites it claims it´s not possible but why ? I see the SRGB Encoder Chip is capaple of putting out Amplified RGB and also Chroma Luminance and Sync, or was that for the older Chips not the BA6596F ?
Even until 2025 there is no Pinout for that special Chip it seems.
Is it even worth to mod N64 todays or just leave it to my memory.
240P/480I NTSC and 288p/576i PAL won´t change regardless what we try, so without an very expensive upscaler i think the image would not be better on modern TV´s RGB/S-Video/HDMI modded but maybe i am wrong.
Maybe someone can clarify some questions.
Very thankfully for people here sharing there conclusions to the puplic and that for free
Greetings from Germany

SIG X68000 / Re: Hard disk on X68030 CZ-500...
Last post by buffi - March 13, 2025, 05:17:37 AMSpun a new board with stuff for the hdd led.
Now plugs directly into Henkan Banchou LED+ pin.
Pic of board:
Video of it running: https://youtube.com/shorts/AI3JJMOaDTI
Will update the github description with some notes about HDD LED hookup, but at least with this SCSI - SD adapter its just hooking up the + pin from the adapter board to LED+ on Henkan Bancho.

SIG FM-Towns / Re: Anyone able to get BlueSCS...
Last post by ateam - March 11, 2025, 11:11:02 PMQuote from: hiker on March 04, 2025, 01:45:12 PMI am now using an internal ZuluSCSI (RP2040-based, with CDDA addon, SD extension and custom bracket for the extension, button and audio jack) in the 40H and a CX20.
The ZuluSCSI is again very similar to BlueSCSI 2.
Thank you for the reply and suggestion.
I've posted another thread where I tried what is supposed to be the known working BlueSCSI V1, but I'm experiencing the same issue.
Before moving on to trying other SCSI HDD emulators, I want to rule out my computer itself as the culprit first.

SIG FM-Towns / Now trying BlueSCSI v1 on my 2...
Last post by ateam - March 11, 2025, 11:09:12 PMI posted this thread a week ago about issues with using BlueSCSI V2 on my 20F. I saw and heard that v1 was known to work, so I've now moved on to trying that. However, the behavior is the same!
Similarly to the V2, I named my HDD image HD10_512.HDA for LUN 0, SCSI ID 1. Logs seem okay, as shown below.
I used CaptainYS' bootloader to perform drive letter assignment. Yet, I cannot boot SCSI HDD 1, nor can I even see it as a valid disk in TownsOS (when booting via CD-ROM).
At this point, I'm starting to question whether my computer itself is the culprit here. Part of me wants to try something purpose-built, like the external Henkan Bancho, but would prefer exhausting all options first.
Side note, I prepared the disk image using Tsguaru where I am able to both successfully boot and browse my disk and all of its partitions.
Anyway, if any FM Towns friends out there have any ideas or clues as to what may be the issue here, I'd love to hear it!
Thank you in advance
