  • Calling X68000 fans

    From Retroswim@21:2/121 to All on Sun Apr 27 10:37:24 2025
    I've bought myself a Sharp X68000 sy as a 40th birthday gift to myself!

    Being the way that I am, I've done a boatload of reading about what the best games are, what operating systems exist, and what modern homebrew projects exist as far as interfaces, adaptors and expansions. It's an active scene!!

    But I'd like to hear from the BBSphere, who here has an X68000? What's your hot tip? What do you recommend checking out?

    Lucky you, I am jealous. I do not have an X68000, however I do know that computer had the best port of Street Fighter II

    That's the plan! Predictably it didn't fire up right away, but there are signs of life. I've ordered a bunch of capacitors and stuff to restore it, so that'll be a few livestreams/videos easy! :)
