You can find any power errors and more in the log.txt file which is automatically created and updated at each startup on the SD memory.

Man this whole series of PC98 Paradise is incredible, thanks for that. Also thanks for driving the prices up on YAJ AHAHHAHAHH kidding.

I have *JUST* tested a BlueSCSI V2 external DB25 on a X68000 Pro last night, updated the firmware to the latest release (2024-05-21) and it won't work. Still have a plethora of "Chk.Conn" and "So Low SCSI level".

Mine is a DB25 unit made by Flamelilly in the UK.

The thing is:

If you power the X68000 first THEN the BlueSCSI V2 second, it gets recognized and it works. You may reset the X68000 afterwards and it'll work fine. Until you do that, it won't get recognized.

If you power off the X68000 but not the BlueSCSI V2, when you power the X68000 up, it won't recognize the BlueSCSI V2 anymore, until  you power it off then back on.

Another thing I noticed is that it sometimes fails to load Akumajo Dracula, and sometimes the music plays slow while the game is loading. Both things do not occur on the BlueSCSI V1 with the ArdSCSIno-STM32 firmware.

Seems it will have more luck working with on a cold boot but fails 99% of the time when i do a reset either with button or key combo.

The BlueSCSI v2 Centronics version without WIFI is suitable for those with X68000 PRO.

The Desktop version is not compatible due to several internal contacts.

Hi I have an X68000 Expert HD with a stock 50-pin cable and I'm having trouble getting the BlueSCSI to be detected- feels like I'm getting a setting wrong more than anything?

I have the v2.20 image from here on there as "HD30_512 v220.HDF" or whatever the format is- could the name be too long if it needs to be 8.3 formatting?  Multiple guides used SCSI ID 3 though I'm not entirely sure why.  There was also mention in some older threads about a FDD setting switch on the back- was that for a Compact maybe?

Here's my error messages on bootup and Switch.x and bootsel.x settings.  Monitor is looking, uh, a little blue for whatever reason so it'll be fun to look into that as well...

I wanted to share another demo:



It's a 3D cube that moves across the screen. I use the drawing planes and scroll to do double buffering so that you don't see how the image draws each frame.

Here is another demo I did some time ago:



It's a playable Tetris.

Not much is plain old windows 95.
What i learn was that you can't run "normal" dos programs not on dos mode nor inside windows dos vm, all games crash.
I was expecting that DOS/V was 100% normal dos compatible but is not the case.
Maybe something cool is hearing to .mids they play using the FM chip on the computer and sound different.
