However, I bought the X68000 XVI for its remarkable speed, for example in Super Street Fighters or Tail Chaser (with polygonal graphics, but in this case it also runs with only 2MB of RAM).
The fact that it only runs at 10MHz is a problem for owners of this system or with the X68030.

I don't disagree with you, I was only looking for clarification. Thank you.

Hopefully this is addressed somehow. It seems like a significant feature gap.

Mine arrived yesterday, but I don't plan to install it until a have MIDI devices ready.

Quote from: spectreman on April 19, 2024, 06:09:47 AMI also received this 8MB RAM+MIDI expansion, called Etarikashikoshi.
I was able to try this product on my X68000 XVI, unfortunately it is not compatible.
By setting the CPU speed to 16 MHz, RAM is not detected.

What if you set the machine to 10 MHz? Does the card work as intended?

HI,
I'm not sure if it's right to talk about this product here, or it's better to create a new page about it.

I messaged the manufacturer and they responded that testing was only done with the ACE and PRO models.
In fact I was also able to try it on the X68000 Expert II, and it works well.
It would have been nice though if you had notified me before purchasing, I wanted to install it on my X68000 XVI.

I figured it out! The issue is that my system is running at 24mhz. If I run the system at 10mhz, RAM works and Castlevania MIDI audio sounds perfect.

Unfortunately, I really prefer to run at 24mhz so this card might not be for me. But at least it's not broken

Edu Arana replied to my message stating that they tested SC-55 and it works perfectly for them.

Maybe my board is defective, I can't seem to get it to detect the added ram either, though aje_fr's board in the same slot works perfect

HI,
I noticed in this HDD image, that by pressing the L key, selecting the letter C: you find the Multimedia folder.
I'm curious to try my X68000 XVI at 16MHz as you see the videos and photos created by me.

The problem is that I don't know the programs for Windows 11, suitable for creating compatible movies or images, can anyone help me?
Thank you!!!

The video sounds good to me.

Also waiting on mine. The new card is FPGA-based so hopefully updates/fixes can be implemented where needed but that may require adding extra headers to the card or something like that :shrug:
