@incrediblehark Hello. I would like to use your image on my X68000z is this possible ?

Thank you

Any scsi external drive should work using FD-boot better to get a newer more modern one probably will have more chances to work correctly.

Here's a quick video on a neat little PC-98 accessory that I happened to pick up. It's pretty different from my usual videos, so let me know if you like to see this kind of hardware-focused content every once in a while.

@HIggy

Would you be able to pm me your address please

Hi there, precisely I did a pull request on Lydux with fixes. I don't think he is going to approve it though as it is not longer maintain.
You can use my version though, at https://github.com/FedericoTech/newlib-1.19.0-human68k

I also have done many examples of things at https://github.com/FedericoTech/X68KTutorials

You may want to have a look at my blog, especially to this article where I talk about things I found of the OS https://federicotech.wordpress.com/2023/12/16/x68000-programming-chapter-trs-programs/

I hope you find it useful

Hi there, I cloned Lydux's toolchain in my github at https://github.com/FedericoTech/newlib-1.19.0-human68k
There I fixed some buggy functions so that I can compile all the examples I did at https://github.com/FedericoTech/X68KTutorials

I did a Pull Request on Lydux so if he ever sees it and accepts them they would be also available in the official branch.

I hope it helps.

I recently acquired a 1mb upgrade card for one of my OG x68000's and noticed a few days back a new firmware release (v2023.07.03) for the BlueSCSI v2 so I thought I'd give it a go using my BlueSCSI 50 Pin Centronics version.

So far everything works flawlessly. I've been able to consistently load the games I was previously having issues with listed in my previous post.

I didn't do anything special, installed my ram card, did a coin battery mod, loaded the Sxsi bootloader into ram and went into SWITCH and changed the ram from 1mb to 2mb..that's it, no voodoo magic or throwing poop at the wall in settings to see what sticks for 30 mins.

Further reading it seems we have erichelgeson to thanks for this and looks like a preset has been added to the bluescsi.ini
https://github.com/BlueSCSI/BlueSCSI-v2/releases/tag/v2023.07.03

My bluescsi.ini file simply looks like this
[SCSI]
System="X68000"

Hard drive file is named HD10.HDS
it automatically detects the rest.

Hi All,

Just to confirm that BlueSCSI v2 works just fine on my OG as well as my Expert, it's plug n Play!

Thanks for sharing! This is a great video covering this excellent HDD image.

Quote from: incrediblehark on April 13, 2024, 02:13:41 AM@HIggy yes that's right, there's another thread on here where some discussion was made about the midi playback issues, i appreciate the help in solving the problem as I hadn't spent a lot of time setting up MMDSP, focusing more on games, and these issues motivated me to fix it for the future release.

Now I have a script set up to load the driver you need based on what file type you would like to playback. In my v2.20 you can use mcdrv or rcd to playback .mid files but mcdrv seems to process the file faster.

I also just wanted to add it's pretty cool to hear about a video made about the hd image!
