Title: Getting Sharp Games to Load
Post by: Disney Rob on October 10, 2021, 06:14:17 PM

Is there a trick to loading Sharp X68000
mGalaxy seems to recognize the emulator XM6G and the Roms
But when it goes to load the games, all I get is a bunch of Japanese
characters, and a picture of a hand holding a disk
Not understanding Japanese characters, I have no idea what it say's
but the picture is obvious, it is saying I need to load a game.
I do not know if it is due to mGalaxy, or if it is due to XM6G
But if anybody has been able to get Sharp games to load, what s the secret ?
Thanks.

Isn't it rather because you are missing the BIOS files?
You should have these 2 files in the application folder: 'cgrom.dat' and 'iplrom.dat'. Are they?

Yes, they are there.. Could it be they are corrupt?  The emulator loads,just not the game !

Maybe your roms are in .zip format? For them to open you then need 'zlib1.dll'
Anyway, please find here an archive of my working folder.
XM6 Pro-68k.zip (https://www84.zippyshare.com/v/TNgaodNZ/file.html)

No the roms are in DIM format.
They do work with the emulator from the desktop is only when I load through mGalaxy that I get the Japanese characters.
I can play them, just not from the mGalaxy interface.

Thanks for the files JMD, trouble is when I click on the links, I get an advertisement for Lifestyle. IT's either that or Porn.  It won't let me download the files.

I see...you should have a ad blocking plugin on your browser (like AdblockPlus)
Anyway...I've downloaded the file from jmd and put it on another 'clean' server: https://ufile.io/gwotizr5 (https://ufile.io/gwotizr5)

Thank you. Oh that was the emulator. This is the one I use. Like I said it works fine from the desktop. Just can not get it to work with mGalaxy.
