No, you don't need two SD cards
Have you this screen on the bootup of the core:

Re: Need help configuring X68000
For one thing... which version of the core are you using? There is a version dated "2017.11.03" in the official MiSTer GitHub, which I think is automatically downloaded by the update script. Don't use that one. It's very old, and to the best of my knowledge it doesn't work.
As far as I know, the only working core is being actively developed and discussed in this thread. The version I have, which I assume is still the most recent, is dated "20.09.13". It does not currently require a second SD card, and I don't think any particular configuration was necessary other than placing the X68000 BIOS (which was provided) by the old GitHub) in the /bootrom folder.

Re: Need help configuring X68000
I think I saw the video you mention. It was from an old preliminary version, and things have changed a lot since. It no longer needs 2 SD cards, and barely any setup. I suggest you give the current version a try.

Re: Need help configuring X68000
if now it's only drag and drop the games to the game/x68000 folder and that's it like any other core, I will try.

Re: Need help configuring X68000
Has anyone gottten games requiring more than one floppy disk to work? It seems to me, single disk games have a better chance of working, but anything that requires a disk swap gets stuck. I fuss around in the F12 disk menus, but it doesn't register.
Re: Need help configuring X68000
Phalanx is a multi floppy disk game and seems to load fine. I first load the disks in floppy drives 0 and 1, then hit Apply HDD and Reset, give it minute or two and the game starts, despite enemy sprites not being drawn correctly.cathrynmataga wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 3:37 pm Has anyone gottten games requiring more than one floppy disk to work?

Re: Need help configuring X68000
I got it working, I wonder if the x68000_20200913 is the latest version
since the video from videogameesoterica shows a different menu options for this core
mine is like this

Re: Need help configuring X68000
The one I linked to here (viewtopic.php?p=35555#p35555) is dated 20210528 and has mt32 support. Doesn't require two SD cards from my limited playing around with it. Got HDD and floppies loading.
