Nereid Ethernet

Updated the X68000 wiki page for internet access to include instructions for using Nereid and Neptune-X ethernet adapters. http://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=x68000:internet_on_x68000_using_ethernet_or_null_modem_cable

mint

Been messing with X68000 stuff again. Got Nereid ethernet working thanks to GIMONS. Set up a filer called mint. Super powerful scripting ability, easy to use. I'm loving it. I also installed KISS and a couple of sets. Cute fun. Dug up some more images and a bunch of PCM files.

I'll just put this here

New TV

I found this beast abandoned in a parking lot. It needed a new lamp, so I bought one. It also needed a remote control, so I built one out of my Defcon 20 badge(parallax propeller) and a PS1 controller :D Source

EVE

High-res

 Installed Eve because it sounded interesting and I thought I might enjoy it. I do, but no one told me it was this pretty. Multi-monitor FTW.

MemoryCard Captor Sakura (DPadPro ver.)

One side effect of fixing my 5501 was that I now had a non-working 9001. This presented the opportunity to use the parts for something else. This adapter makes it possible to use original PlayStation controllers and memory cards(like a DexDrive) on a PC through the parallel port. Follow the schematic here. Use the DirectPadPro layout.

The hardware:

• Store bought PCI card with two serial ports and a parallel port. If your computer has a parallel port already you won't need this.
• Dead PlayStation
• PSU. Supplies 7.6 and 3.6 volts.
• Controller ports
• Controller. Any type should work. Mine are DualShock
• Memory card. Any type should work. The one I have now is Interact, in the past I have used official Sony cards as well.
• A bunch of wire
• DB25 male plug
• DB25 straight through cable

The software:

• PortTalk. Required to talk to the parallel port in Windows XP.
• MemoryCard Captor Sakura. I recommend the version here.
• Win95/98: DirectPadPro
• WinXP: PPJoy

The PSU pinout is:

1 7.6V 

2 GND

3 3.6V

4 GND

5 MOUT (reset signal)

Early wiring. The lights are on :)

Done, tested and working.

Put it all back in the PlayStation case.
