SIG X68000 / Re: SxSI-SCSI HDD Image v2.20

What is your setup? does your X68k have 2MB internal before installing the etarikashikoshi board? Is your switch.x set up correctly?

To all: I apologize for the slow progress on my v3 image, it is still being worked on but my free time this summer has been sparse. I hope it will be worth the wait!

Hi, after 10 years of collecting games, I decided to give this image a try and I'm very, very pleased! The main reason I jumped on the scsi wagon is the firepower offered by the Etarikashikoshi X68000 - 8mb ram / MIDI board, a nice boost for my x68000 Super. Still, there is no way I can launch Maoh Daisakusen: every time I got a silent intro, I can choose my fighter and then I am forced to reset due to a bus error. am I the only one? Is there something I'm missing. Got the game on FM-TOWNS but I really want that MIDI ost 😀

SIG X68000 / FDX68 - Video Overview (Instal...

Hi everyone,

Recently, the developer Gimons (X / Homepage) opened up overseas orders for several of his devices, like the PhantomX, FDX68, and FDD ID Switcher. I was fortunate enough to procure both an FDX68 and FDD switch kit, and decided to put together a little video showing how the devices work.

Note that I wasn't aware of any of the "menu" projects at the time of recording the video, so all that you see is using the standard CLI utilities to convert and mount disk images. Additionally, I do not cover any of the other features, such as disk dumping.

All of that said, the production quality of this video isn't anything stellar, but nonetheless I wanted to share it with the community in the event it proves helpful. Also, all relevant links are in the video description itself.

Quote from: kanjiology on July 28, 2024, 01:13:31 PMI installed a PhantomX into my PRO and now Bonanza Bros loads fine... Just an FYI. I can try other games if anyone wants to know more about the PhantomX compatibility.

More importantly, I want to know how you managed to get hold of one! Congrats on installing the PhantomX, please start a new thread telling us all about it :-)

Gimon's made a tweet about it a couple weeks ago: https://x.com/GimonsW/status/1812309786794528911 Though he has stopped distribution to overseas customers already now.

And will do, I will make a thread soon talking about it.

Hi all, Has anyone connected a Hxc 5.25 floppy drive on an x68000 as an external drive that can guide me through the connection? Thank.

Quote from: kanjiology on July 29, 2024, 08:48:01 AMWhen I had it internally it was something close to 3.3v, but it makes sense with the PhantomX causing issues now. My PicoPSU is only 80W, maybe I'll upgrade it to 160W.
Please note that the X68000 is not designed to support these modifications, and over time you may experience instability issues.
