This all works to get the game initially going, and for games like Super Street Fighter II that makes you load all disks until 6 first before it will even starts you will greatly appreciate it, but even after setting this save state and using that, such games will still require you to swap disks as needed DURING gameplay, which is more likely going to happen in games that are 4+ disks big.thankfully the emulator makes this even easy, just look at the bottom FDD0 and FDD1 horizontal slots…they flash read while being red/green, while being “read” from, and will typically show no text there when they need something loaded…you can click on them to bring up the folder where your game floppies are.įor all games before you import them, it's easier to have them moved in the folder already in your Launchbox\games\Sharp X68000 folder and into a subfolder per game:ĮX: L:\Games\Sharp X68000\Strider Hiryu (or wherever their final destination is), I keep my Launchbox on drive L, your drive letter is probably different.
SHARP X68000 EMULATOR SETUP INSTALL
So…the idea is to launch these games already set up as much as possible to avoid time taking to install the disks first to simply start the game. *For games that are Disks, it's almost as easy, once done with the process and adding a single command line to Launchbox, you are just going to double-click to play that too and it will work without disk swapping needed, just like single disk games.įor games that are disks, things get trickier, BUT for some 3 disk games you can set them up to play just like 1 and 2 disk games! IDEAL! This is possible because some games only load the 2 nd or 3rd disk initially WITH the first disk to provide an intro or to load initial data, then have you swap to the other one and play from that point on.this is possible because, after the initial loading of the games floppies to get it started into the proper/playing two disk configuration, you will create a SAVE STATE right at the beginning of the game loading, and then change the ROM path from the original DISK A in Launchbox, to the SAVE STATE instead.so every time you open the game in Launchbox it will start the game…This works for all games, but is ideal for games that are 3-6 disks in size, as long as you follow the on-screen disk swapping instructions the first time you launch it… until the game starts. This is possible because the emulator supports loading two disks at once just like the original system did. Cry joyful tears of Nostalgia.ĭry those tears though, cause many cool games use more than a disk.but thankfully you can set up Launchbox to use these two disk games just like a single disk game. Easy and fun! Yay!įor disk game, you are simply going to set it up like any other game in Launchbox.import that file, double-click to play. *If it's a disk or disk game (once you complete the steps in this guide) you will simply double click and play. HDM games, once set up in Launchbox they are going to basically work like this:
SHARP X68000 EMULATOR SETUP HOW TO
If you know how to and I'll update the guide, PLEASE let me know!įor. We want to set these up with MINIMAL (or in many cases, NO) disk swapping necessary.ģ.Hdf (hard drive) files.I haven't been able to utilize these at all. this is what this guide addresses the most. Dim I've only seen these for single disk games, you can just mount these and play like any game in Launchbox that uses one file.IDEALĢ.Hdm (what I have mostly), are Floppy games ranging from 1 floppy disk, up to 6 (Super Street Fighter II), although most commonly they seem to be 2-3 disks in size.
Games come in typically 1 of 3 possible formats.ġ. The steps here may also work for XM6 (the non-type-G one.) I agree so far, from what I've seen of the competition. I chose the XM6-Type G emulator because it's considered the most "advanced/capable" for emulating the X68000 from what I've read online.
