Thank you so much for this video! The ROMs were harder for me to find than I expected, but they WERE linked in another much older X68000 MiSTer video which isn't associated with this channel if anyone is looking :)
Thanks, you clarified a few things I was unsure of. Great video, Thanks for putting in the time on this video. Best X68k core vid out there in my opinion.
@@VideoGameEsoterica I do have one question. When I load Final Fight or Street fighter, .HDF, I get BGM but no sound effects. Tried converting Final Fight .dim to .D88 just to see if it would make a difference, no change. Im missing something simple im sure.
Thanks a lot for helping me set up this system. I've got it running with MT32pi and it's amazing. Certainly one of those legendary/obscure (in the west) systems I never thought I'd be able to properly experience! The tip about being patient waiting for floppy disk images to load was a very key point - I thought they weren't working, but wait 3-4 minutes and sure enough, things eventually get rolling!
There is a rom set where each game is an hdf image. This makes the core run just like any console core as they all auto boot directly into the game. No need to click on bat files and it's much faster.
Thanks a lot for this guide. I know you have a PVM, could you please share your ini settings for X68000, because I couldn't find the ideal settings yet. Thanks
Thanks for the vid, will be useful even though I managed to fumble my way through some of this a couple weeks ago, still couldn't get some games to load then but will try again now!
Perfect - this is pretty much what I was hoping for when I asked for more PC core videos! Any idea what the Load/Save to SRAM to SD card does - that's how you would save games without losing the save game data, correct? Also, when you select Load SDRAM it, does it load only the data for the specific game you've currently loaded or ALL X68K SDRAM contents saved to the SD card?
@@VideoGameEsoterica How exactly does this work? I launched Castlevania, from an .hdf file, played it for a bit and did the "save SRAM to SD" before quiting. After rebooting mister when launching the game again "Load SRAM from SD" does nothing and I also can't find any .RAM files on my SD
@@VideoGameEsotericaI came here looking for info on how SRAM works as well. Like the other commenter, I tried saving to SRAM and then loading and it doesn't seem to work. Does the mister require an SD card in the 2nd slot for this to work?
Thanks for this. I have it running. There's a strange problem with the scanlines. I like Adaptive scanlines 10_10 which gives a very nice CRT scanline effect. This setting works with every other core I've tested but looks wrong on the X68000. The scanlines are massive and not spaced correctly.
Absolutely brilliant, eventho they need to add some sort of virtual keyboard overlay that you can prompt only when needed so you can easily select options without a real keyboard (that's what Amiga and C64 emulators do on retropie and the likes and it works great. I used an X68000 emulator on Windows back in the late 2000s and it was indeed only partially translated from Japanese, no command line required but still a lot of tinkering. But it was worth it, I got to experience Cho Ren Sha 68K which to me is a perfect shmup gem. These doujin games appeal a lot to me because of their exclusivity, more than the perfect arcade ports. I mean, I see little point these days in ports if I can easily play the arcade version that was so out of reach back in the day. The only real appeal of ports, unless they offer something more or different, would be in their collectability but X68000 prices are insane as we know.
Yes it’s mostly for floppy games needing a keyboard to select midi or internal sound hardware with a keyboard. For HDD images you need the full keyboard
This video is helpful. Thanks. Your video appears to show the image filling more of the screen than I am able to achieve. Is there a way for me to make the screen bigger?
Good to know. I do captures so I don’t lose info and then I scale to fit in post so I can keep the most image possible while maintaining aspect ratio (scaled via constraints on the X/Y axis in Resolve)
Great video! A year later and I’m now getting into the x68000 and it’s incredible. It looks like the glitches with the core you mentioned are still present. Do you think it’s possible in the future the core will get further updates or will it likely just remain this way?
Thanks for the tutorial, I appreciate it! For some reason my x68000 core loads to a blank screen. I added the latest core .rbf file in the _Computer/X68000 folder, and I added boot.rom and boot3.vhd in the games/x68000 folder. When I load the core, it's just a black screen. The menu comes up when I hit F12, but nothing happens if I try to mount a FDD or a Virtual HDD.
As always, superb guide VGE. I’ve been lucky enough to get this running on an old microvetec quad sync monitor. And the mister mt32 pihat is superb. Couple of things I found though: Final fight crashes when I select mt32 module at the character select screen? Granada X doesn’t come up with an option to change the sound even though it’s listed to support mt32? Finally I downloaded the soundfont files via the script on the main mister scripts area, can I now select the sc55 module?
Some things will still crash. Some games that support midi support it “in secret”, as in you have to hold a certain key down at boot to get it to happen. Google the name of the game and “x68000 midi” and you’ll find out how :) it’s diff on each game that doesn’t just give me an automatic menu
What is the song that's played at the intro? It sounds like there's some strange distortion on the song. Is that how it's supposed to be or was that done for some reason?
@@VideoGameEsoterica I have my Mister in a "bartop" arcade I've primarily used for Mame over the years but really want a crt setup in an old desktop to get the right 'feel'. But for now, the mt32 piped through the arcade speakers is a nice touch.
I'm really struggling with this. I'm running my mister in an arcade machine New Net City with a trisync monitor. I've copied the files like you show and when I select the core, the screen goes blank "no signal" and that's it. No attempt to load the core on screen and I have to turn the machine off at the power socket. F12 does nothing. Can't understand what I'm doing wrong as the previous owner of the cab had this core running. Can anyone help?
@Video Game Esoterica yeah, I'm going through hdmi to a vga converter. No problem running all the arcade games on it, atari, snes, mega drive etc. Just as soon as I select the x68k core from menu, instant black screen. No building rom progress bar or nothing. Should I try plugging the hdmi into a monitor to see if I get a signal there?
Hi could you show us how to play this core in 240p. Some of the games do not run in 240p like Castlevania. I think you can use the scaler but I do not know how to use it. Please help.
I almost forgot when you were changing the amount of ram in the 6800x. I saw an option in the menu for tv mode. I wonder if that mode switches the 6800x to output 15hz.
How do you save progress on this core? I can't seem to figure it out. Every time I reset the progress is wiped clean from the floppies. And on the autobooting hard drive images they have their own save files that revert back to the initial status when I reset no matter what I attempt to change.
@@VideoGameEsoterica Ah! Thank you so much! The concept of restoring my saves is a bit foreign to me compared to other cores, but it makes sense. Just another quirk of the x68000 I guess!
So, I was wondering, I actually own one of those 24khz monitors from Japan. a KD-854. Knowing you, you probably do as well. Would the Mister be able to output a 24khz signal I wonder. I know there are some games on the X68000 that's able to do it, but Im more interested in the PC98 line up of stuff.
I have followed the MT-32 Pi setup video now, and this one, but cannot get it working. Got latest, same, .rbf file [X86000_20211214.rbf] And I do not get the MT-32 setting inside the X68000 core's OSD menu. I have a suspicion it's due to the warning shown on my hat's OLED which reads; *Low Voltage: chk psu* I'm using the short USB which came with the MT-32 and it's connected to the correct port, the user port. The PSU I'm using is the one I ordered with my MiSTer; Output 5v 4a Due to that message warning on my MT-32 I'm suspecting the reason I'm not seeing MT-32 options in the core's menu is due to power rather than my configuration. Would that PSU be enough for the sandwich D10 nano, usb hub board and IO board... as well as the Pi3a and MT-32? Anyone know a resolution? Otherwise I guess I'll try taking the boards apart and drop the USB hub temporarily see it makes a difference / clear the OSD warning
@@VideoGameEsoterica I admittedly missed that when setting up... but had found another webpage when searching that error and had added that line to to the config.txt but I had a line space between that and the [pi3] so just changed that, so was as in your screen.

Just another though though. I am running my hook up; MiSTer sandwich boards all via the 5v PSU, and my monitor, both into an extention lead adapter which then plugs into the wall mains. I wonder if going via that extension lead is causing not enough power? I'll try moving my setup to another part of room where monitor and MiSTer can have direct plug into the wall... see if that makes a difference.

I barely have time to get deep into a game any more. Between being a full time filmmaker and doing this channel the only gaming I get in is for videos lately
Do you know of any way to get the mt32pi working in Sol-Feace? I know you’re supposed to hold down a special key while the game is booting, but I have no idea how to make it work.
@@VideoGameEsoterica It seems there is no mapping for this key in the core currently, but the workaround is to use the BIOS / software keyboard: Right-click with a connected mouse immediately when the game starts loading to display the on-screen keyboard, then click on / hold the key to the left of 'help'. There's a limited window to do it, but it works reliably.
Btw, this will work for some other Wolf Team titles also- Granada, Arcus Odyssey and FZ Senki Axis (With that one, it loads differently, so press / hold the software key and keep the mouse button pressed even after the osd keyboard disappears for it to register it) .
Hi, thanks a lot for the video, help me for launching games. But how could yo start a game with three .d88 files ? Phalanx for example, I have this : Phalanx (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 1 of 3)(System), Phalanx (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 2 of 3)(Data) and Phalanx (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 3 of 3)(Opening). Best regards
You need to Google how to load it. Every game that came on more than two discs does something different. Sometimes disc 1 is actually disc one...other times it has a different boot order. It’s game dependent
I was just messing with this core couple nights ago! What wonderful timing :D I was only about to get .HDF files to boot games, the .d88s wouldn't boot until I loaded up a valid .HDF, then unloaded it and booted the .d88. it's really cryptic. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
The thing is sometimes you have to wait minutes for them to load. It’ll seem like it’s not working...till it is. Because it replicates the behavior of real hardware you’ve gotta wait for the data to stream in from the floppy files
@@VideoGameEsoterica The loading of both discs simultaneously blew my mind, I couldn't get Castlevania to work and it was maddening. This helps my sanity more then you know lol thanks!
This has made me want to take the plunge and buy a MISTer, but they are sold out everywhere. You can't even buy a de10 nano board on ebay or terasic. This supply chain issue, which is deliberate, sucks so bad.

Btw, this will work for some other Wolf Team titles also- Granada, Arcus Odyssey and FZ Senki Axis (With that one, it loads differently, so press / hold the software key and keep the mouse button pressed even after the osd keyboard disappears for it to register it) .
Classic 90s computer logic; let’s have completely random, arbitrary and not at all consistent methods to enable a feature LOL
Hi, thanks a lot for the video, help me for launching games. But how could yo start a game with three .d88 files ? Phalanx for example, I have this : Phalanx (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 1 of 3)(System), Phalanx (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 2 of 3)(Data) and Phalanx (1991)(Zoom)(Disk 3 of 3)(Opening). Best regards
You need to Google how to load it. Every game that came on more than two discs does something different. Sometimes disc 1 is actually disc one...other times it has a different boot order. It’s game dependent
@@VideoGameEsoterica mmmm ok thanks, if anybody knows this you're welcome :)
Did you try system in 0 and data in 1? I know the opening disc isn’t necessary
@@VideoGameEsoterica not yet will try tomorrow and let you know
👍
Some games like super street fighter have 6 Disks. How does it work?
My recommendation is you play the arcade core. Easier LOL. I’ll have to test to find out how it functions exactly on X68000
thanks
Np!
So can we use any rom for the Mister?
Need to be D88 files or HDF sasi images
I was just messing with this core couple nights ago! What wonderful timing :D
I was only about to get .HDF files to boot games, the .d88s wouldn't boot until I loaded up a valid .HDF, then unloaded it and booted the .d88. it's really cryptic. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
Sorry too excited, I just saw that I was loading games correctly. WOW
The thing is sometimes you have to wait minutes for them to load. It’ll seem like it’s not working...till it is. Because it replicates the behavior of real hardware you’ve gotta wait for the data to stream in from the floppy files
Well at least that!
@@VideoGameEsoterica The loading of both discs simultaneously blew my mind, I couldn't get Castlevania to work and it was maddening. This helps my sanity more then you know lol thanks!
Haha that’s what I am here for!
The God Computer 😎
Looking forward to when we get SCSI HD support. Already have a custom image I put together waiting !
I mean it supports virtual hard drives so why not just go that route? Sure it’s limited in capacity but just make a few :)
@@VideoGameEsoterica Yea SASI is ok, just prefer to have everything on a single image. I have a massive MDX (music) collection too.
Makes sense. SASI capacity limits are a bummer
Bom dia pode explicar como carregar jogo com 6 disquetes?
This has made me want to take the plunge and buy a MISTer, but they are sold out everywhere. You can't even buy a de10 nano board on ebay or terasic. This supply chain issue, which is deliberate, sucks so bad.
Yes I will be touching on the shortages in my Jan news video. You can order on Mouser or Digikey and secure a place in their allocations
The supply chain issue is far from deliberate. Components are not available to fill the demand, that's it.
You a real one thank you!
I do what I can!
😍

😥 Promo-SM!!!
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
haha guess you like it?
@@VideoGameEsoterica I've been patiently waiting for a working and perfect emulation of Neo Geo, Saturn and X68000 for at least 5 years now. 1 down, 1 possibly down and 1 more to go.
I mean neo geo is 1:1, X68000 is close and Saturn hopefully soon!
@@VideoGameEsoterica That's the dream.
I am sure itll happen. Might not be quick but I bet we are playing Saturn by 2023
