Quick question, is the latest midi update of this core compatible with the MT32-Pi yet? I've got the midi audio working with uart & the internal Arm processor (and although it does sound nice the music trips up over itself) so gave the MT32-Pi a try but not getting anything from that.

If this core is compatible with the MT32-Pi, is there any chance someone could post a simple guide for MT32-Pi & X68000 usage? (I have successfully used the MT32-pi with the AO486 core so I'm probably missing something really obvious).

It doesn't seem to support the MT32pi yet. I was messing with it the other day and couldn't get any. I hope we get MT32pi integration soon.

The support of MT32pi will required an update of sys and adding option in the core.

Am I right in that the disks need to be in .D88 format? I can only find .dim at the mo. Is there a way to convert?

I've been playing Akumajou Dracula on the X68000-JT51 core (date 20.09.13) and i've run into a bug with the core.

With start at stage 13/14, the GAME OVER screen gets superimposed over the gameplay area (see attached photos). This hides parts of the background tiles, but sprites seems unaffected.

This makes this level extremely hard :)

Another part (that I forgot to take photos of though) where there is a display bug, is in the 2nd level where the raft part starts. When you destroy the lionface, the screen turns partly blue with bugged out sprited, but as soon as the waterlevel has started to move, it disappears.

I wonder if another dev might be open to taking on the X68000 core and adding some video options. It would be great to see 15khz support and scandoublerfx enabled.

Hello,

Did you restart your MiSTer?
Running one Core behind another can be problematic.
Do you see the rom loading when the Core starts?

No - the core uses a Yamaha sound chip which is already supported by Jotego. Midi is optional in some games similar to PC / Amiga.

Is there a way to convert 2HD to any of the supported formats? I'd love to play Cho Ren Sha on this, but I can only find it in 2HD. Or better yet, is 2HD support coming for this?

While I can't address your exact question, there are other dumps available. You can check out the TOSEC romset or one of the MAME romsets (chorensa.zip). Those dumps are in .dim format.

My MiSTer hasn't arrived, so I cannot check on it, but i have Cho Ren Sha in HDF format. Would this be useful to you?

You should also be aware that in the current state of this core, Cho Ren Sha doesn't run at the proper framerate
