X68000
Cross Platform Emulation
Development & Resources

Develop a multiple platform X68000 emulator (MacOS, MS-DOS, Linux, Win95/NT, Cray Super Computer etc.)
Write the intial code in C, with possible later optimizations
Versions in both Japanese & English
Wider variety of screen modes than EX68
Eventually, complete sound and graphics emulation (yes, that means is should run Dracula!)

We're currently reviewing existing MC68000 emulators, to decide which one to use for the project.

As much documentation as possible. Currently the project is in a information gathering stage. If you have access to X68000 internals information, programming documents, or even source code then let us know. Also, because the X68000 is a Japanese system we need Japanese language speakers who are interested in helping to translate information and maintain project web pages.
Programmers! A number of programmers have already shown interest in the project but we would welcome other people who are interested in helping, with the main code or with platform conversion. We're particularly keen in contacting programmers with experience in programming the X68000.... you're information would greatly assist the project.

Programming Guide Version 2	An edition of the X68000 programming guide with extra information
Japanese X68000 Programming Guide	Valuable guide to programming X68000 in zip format.
IRQ Mapping Guide	English IRQ information for X68000
FDD Data	As above but Floppy Drive information
MFP Spec.	MFP specification doc from Yoshikazu

Someone already sent us a memory map, and a description of the chips, that are used in the X68000.
