X68000 is a computer with a Yamaha YM2151 8 channel FM chip and an OKI audio chip for ADPCM sounds.
Too much for an Amiga., no players availables I think. |

Someone that use Hoot? Do you remember if using hoot was possible to isolate tracks also for x68000 beside arcade?
There seems to be files readable here: https://archive.org/details/HootArchive20180626 |

Commodore should have just licenced the Sharp68000 and called it the Amiga1200...

The Amiga was its own unique design, not ripping off other hardware, and AGA is great, and Paula is perfectly fine with just PCM audio, none of that synthesized rubbish. Have you not seen ANY of the high-end Amiga AGA demos?

@Estrayk
It's not at all too much for Amiga, but question is how powerful. There are 8ch synth formats (e.g. Face The Music) and with powerful CPU You can handle 32ch S3M/XM modules, and even there is DigiBooster 3 with 24b/192kHz support and 128 (or it was 256?) channels with plugins (e.g. TB303 emulation). But it's true that player is not available (or is it?). |

The Sharp X68000 is a Japanese computer platform, so maybe most articles about it are in Japanese?

@Chip
I did check with some of my soruces (Luca della Regina on Facebook) and he advise to use Hoot on Windows; it supports x68000, has a player and a way to capture output on wav - i did used to capture clean music instrument samples for a test Rygar piece https://battleofthebits.org/lyceum/View/hoot/ Going to put a copy in the zone will pvt you |

Ripping off other hardware?. If you say it because similarities with capcom´s cps system it is because they based the cps on that computer, and used it as development machines. |

Hey Chip,one more thing for the hoop player: create in the player folder a new folder called 'x68k' and store all x68000 songs (even compressed) there.

It's really a pain to read those sort of comparisons which consist to compare apple vs orange,and thinking that just looking at the machine specs is enough to compare both systems . The amiga was the best system for his price, and not for all systems in the world,the x68k destroys about all systems of that era and after, if you're stopping to read only the specs . If commodore wanted a powerfull amiga (and of course a really expansive one) it would have been better to sold amigas with the ranger chipset . And i'am curious to see what's the base X68k can do,because what i saw is really not glorious for the 2000$ of the base system . Last edited by touko; 06 November 2020 at 18:13. |

Some X68 game music has been ripped to .VGM format and is playable with VGM input plugin and others. There are also many tracks in .MDX format which can be played with MDXWin or KbMedia player.
