Super Streetfighter 2 and Strider on X68000X

[ressurectionx]

Can somebody please tell me the draw to this emulator for anybody who doesn't naively speak Japanese?

 

I actually tested about 200-300 games for this system at one point and it was going to be included in my Xtras sets, but in the end I totally decided against it. I couldn't figure out any benefit from it whatsoever. I will fully admit that for the time it came out it would have been an awesome system to own, but with the perfect ability to replicate these arcade games on CoinOPS and sometimes FBA-L, why would somebody go to the trouble for this. Granted, there are some interesting Japanese games that weren't available here, but they're either heavily burdened with "adult" content and/or completely unplayable by an engilsh-only speaking audience.

I don't speak Japaneese, but i think many action games are excelent, and it is not really important to speak Japanese

I think to all the PSX games you remove your pack because they are Japanese and i add to my pack because for action it is not really important to read text

I really like playing Castlevania. That game was ported to the PSX, but they changed the graphics and it runs at a slightly lower resolution.

 

There are some cool games on here RX, but I know what you're saying. This system was mainly know for its arcade-perfect ports and if you can emulate the arcade well already with CoinOps and FBL, then it becomes redundant in some respects. This said, there are a number of unique games to the system, as noted above, which make it still desirable.

 

Good to see your back around. Hope you are doing well!

the x68000 was definetly better than the amiga but i think the pricepoint would have put a lot of people off IIRC this machine dold for well over £1000.

[waal]

Yeah this machine was very impressive at the time. But it was expensive even in Japan where people rather bought NEC computers like PC-98/PC-88. And I still prefer the sound of an Amiga. If only they had ported soundtracker to the X68000...

[fumanchu]

hey waal just curious do you have a working version of armalyte for the amiga as this one game i have never got to work on winuaex,i love the c64 version.

Hey Fu,

 

Yes I have various disk versions and a hard drive installed one you can play with the new winuaex. I'll send you these next friday when I'm back from vacation.

 

Cheers.

I am presuming a lot of you use the sharp x68000 emulator for called x68000x.anyway i had been having trouble getting super streetfighter 2 to work on this emu because it is a five disc game so a lot of disc swapping is nessacery.

but today i found a .hdf(hdd file image) for the game and it works great.no disc swapping or long load times.

just make sure and overclock the cpu to 24mhz in the options,also make sure and place the game in hard drive option.

i also have a hdfile for strider on the x68000,again a very hard file format for this game to find.

 

these are both pretty much arcade perfect ports in my opinion.

 

if you want links to download these 2 hdf files just say in this thread and i will PM you.

 

 

Hi Fu,

 

Are you still giving links to these 2 hdf files? If so, could you send them to me please? I came to this thread late, but would love to try them.

Cheers.

Simmo.

[waal]
