Sharp X68000

[tekaotaku]

Hi, first time poster, so be gentle.......if this is in the wrong section, sorry. But anyway.....

Recently got a GP32 flu, and have to say Im impressed, much prefer this over my gba becasue GPEngine bomberman94 is just the best thing in the world, anyway.....

Just a quick question, wondering if anyone is working on an X68000 emulator, I would love to play some of the best games out there, final fight and street fighter 2 (24bit colour, near arcade etc) but it also has some great games of it own, mainly Genocide 2, so is anyone working on an emulator?? any info would be great, thanks

I am guessing that the X68000 is an arcade chipset.... someone is working on a mame port but not sure if it will support those games.

the sharp x68000 was a japanese only home computer, like the amiga, but better (in my opinion). Some great games released on the system, genocide, super street fighter 2, final fight, daimakimaru (ghouls and ghosts), alot of great wolf team games, sol-deace, granadaX, axis, and alot of gainex anime games. And ALOT of hentai games, but most of them are terrible.

the link has a great pic of the system, but do a google search and try it via a PC emulator. Its a smart system.

you could emulate it on gp32
but you might run into the same problem that amiga has

Actually it was not a X8600 serie but PC 9800 with all those hentai stuff.

here is a web site done by a person i now from another forum.......mainly covers Wolfteam/Telenet games for various system's but has a big-ish x68000 page, site is running a little slow at the moment for some reason......
