indeed the link was the solution.
Cool, Got it working too.
Now I know kinda how this works.
It's not really obvious.
Nice that we have figured this out too.We need to make a good doc of this !
It's also cool to use this with MSX :) -
@folly It doesn't work for me on bluemsx sadly.

Will try now too
Some keys are not working at the moment : "#" "$"
But "a-z" "1-0" "space" "enter" "F5" and ";" do
The special keys work too, if you configure 1 button to "shift" and another to "1".
By pressing both you get "!"it works !!!
Are you configuring in the right place ?
press F1 then go directly to controls
select retrokeyboard
go back
go forward
then you can change settings -
@folly You're right, it does work. I'll edit the first post.

Most credits go to @retropieuser555 for discovering this.
-
@folly I'll make sure to mention it.

@Zering
Read in your first post that you mention that x1 does not work with multidisks.
But you actually can insert a second disk in the menu with "F11" if you really need to. -
@Zering
Did you figure it out making an .m3u with the commandline ? -
@folly Damn. How is something so simple so little known?
Does it work with four disc games, ie. Revolty II?
No for the. M3us, haven't had time. I'll definitely try tonight.

I can try for you
-
@folly That'd be great, although I'll definitely try it myself once I have a bit of time tonight.
Same for m3us, just haven't had time today. -
@Zering
Revolty II does not work.
Disk 0 seems corrupt.
Other disks are have no system files.The trouble wilh fdd1 is that you have to go through many directorys to get there.
-
@folly What a shame. Any chance a better rom could get around the issue?
I can't believe that passed me by though,I knew F11 brought up the emulator too as I used it when I first set up the core earlier this year. -

I can't believe that passed me by though,I knew F11 brought up the emulator too as I used it when I first set up the core earlier this year.This is the one I succesfully loaded :
Xanadu Scenario IIYou have to start with disk D (comes in fdd0)
It will ask the user disk C.
Via F11 put the user disk in fdd1There is a Japanes doc file with this game.
I think it explains how you can conver it to 2HD disks.I think, if supported they con hold more data.
-
@folly Brilliant, kudos for figuring that out. Seems like we might actually be able to play some X1 games. Interestingly, Xanadu was first released on the X1 and not the PC88.
Having said all that, I'm still curious as to why the x1 won't work through mess.

It should indeed work, found this with :
mame -listmedia | grep x1
x1 floppydisk1 (flop1) .2d .d77 .d88 .1dd .dfi .hfe .imd .ipf .mfi .mfm .td0 .cqm .cqi .dsk
I think there is not yet a valerino script. or is there ?

@zering said in Old Computer Appreciation Thread:
@folly I looked up the system's page on progettoemma.
Did you see my post about x1 and mess? It seems mess doesn't recognise the software.No I didn't
How did you install this ?
-
@folly I used lr-mess, added an lr-mess in configs/x1/emulators.cfg, placed the four x1 bios in my bios, roms and x1 directories and ran mess 0.151 software list roms in a .zip.
I'll find my last post and edit.
