Appeared x68000 emulator for Wii

?? I don't understand the topic

I bought an original X68000 monitor is what the topic is all about. Got tired of all games not displaying properly no matter what CRT I hooked up to my Compact. It bears mentioning that such a beast is hard to come by unless you are located in Japan, which I unfortunately am not.

And why does everyone comment on the Wii? Those systems are brothers from other mothers.

It's a beautiful monitor but too small for me.

So i guess shipping was more expensive than the monitor itself?

If I remember correctly shipping set me back less than I thought, but more than I hoped. I shipped it via the slowest, cheapest option, which is to say by boat and it took two months and change to get to me.

I had heard stories of people having bad luck with shipping CRT's from Japan, what with them appearing in considerable more pieces than they shipped with. Alas I decided to take the gamble and it seems lady luck decided to lift the old skirt for me on this occasion.

Of course, lady luck, that whimsical harlot, is a harsh mistress so I had to pay a somewhat lavish import duty and the monitor seems to be in bad need of a capacitor refresh, but it got here in one piece at least.
