Other Things to Do with X68000

Unread post by Dr Johnny Bananas »

Hello, I've been enjoying a pack of games in hdf format for quite some time and I was wondering if there's other interesting things in hdf format. Like music players or demoscene stuff. Does that exist anywhere? I see a lot cool music players in YouTube x68000 videos, but I'm not sure where to get hdf versions.

Probably ppl made themselves HDFs tailored to their needs, maybe copied files from larger (not yet supported by the core scsi images).
If you wanna learn a bit your way around Human68K and other X68000 OS-es or apps, here are some useful links:
https://nfggames.com/X68000/index.php - A LOT of software for X68000 (including OSes like Human68K, SX-Windows,OS9 etc)

https://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=x68 ... hard_drive - How-to install games on X68000 VHDs

https://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=x68 ... s_tutorial - useful mini how-to on LHES file manipulation tool for Human68K OS (X68000 core)

https://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA01393 ... dex_e.html - Disk Explorer - for manipulating files on MSX/X68000/DOS/etc VHDs without mounting/use of extra emulators

https://www.vector.co.jp/soft/dl/win95/ ... 51106.html - Virtual Floppy Image Converter - for converting floppy images (eg. PC88/X68000/etc various types)

https://nfggames.com/X68000/index.php/Emulators/ - XM6 TypeG - excellent X68000 emulator, you need to get IPLROM.DAT and CGROM.DAT and copy them in same folder as the emulator
I use it to ease up HDF images creation, file transfer and so on

Hope it helps :)

Does anyone still have a link to the tonton hdf collection? It seems scrubbed from the internet. Thanks!

Edit: all set, found it!

Glad you found it, but any tips for people who come by this topic later?

I remember finding a link in the description of an X68000 YouTube video, I forget what one exactly. Might've been a general X68K video and not one related to MiSTer.

I asked someone for help with it, but don't want to 'rat them out' so to speak by talking about it.
