![]() Oddly, the font ROM files must be named in the format fontxxxx.x1 instead of the usual FNTxxxx.X1 in order for it to work. In regards of quality, it is as good as X millennium goes, yet it is understandably very stripped down: there is no keyboard support, meaning that only games that are controlled with a joystick will work, and it emulates the X1 Turbo only. X millennium Advance An official port of X millennium to the Game Boy Advance, of all platforms, first published in 2004. Offers options both for burning to a CD-R and loading from an SD card. X millennium for Dreamcast An independent little-known fork of X millennium that sees no updates since 2013. It has been confirmed to work on the T|T3, Zire72, T|T5 and Treo65 PDAs. Apparently, it can only emulate the X1 Turbo. X millenniumOne A port of X millennium to PalmOS 5. This is a problem that hasn’t been solved even in 0.60a. In what is likely a problem inherited from X1EMU, X millennium suffers from ridiculously fast unbridled clockspeed. In early 2019, the developer’s domain name expired and was not renewed, making a new release highly unlikely − at least before 2025, that is. The gap between the last two releases was so wide, however, that version 0.60a all but flew under the radar, impacting the existing forks by little to nothing. Suddenly, in December 2015, a little over ten years of silence, version 0.60a was released, bringing emulation enhancements ported over from Neko Project II among other small compatibility improvements. It was updated until version 0.26d’s release in 2005, when development halted for no apparent reason. X millennium Born in the late 1990s as X1R, a real-time mode fork of X1EMU, X millennium was the first Sharp X1 emulator for Windows, and unarguably the most influential to date. ![]() ![]() In late-1990s machines, it might not exhibit this issue, yet in modern computers, its emulation is ridiculously fast, as there seems to be no programmed limitation on the clock speed. Unlike most of its offspring, it is entirely in Japanese. The emulator runs in DOS protected mode, as such, it needs a copy of DOS4GW.EXE to sit in the same folder as it. First released in January 1999 and last updated in July 1999, X1EMU is designed to be compatible both with IBM-PCs and PC-98s running MS-DOS. X1EMU The mother of all Sharp X1 emulators. Despite this, the X1 Turbo core is quite decent. Its X1 Turbo Z and X1 Twin cores are listed as not working as of November 2019. ![]() The PC Engine section of its X1 Twin core is based off Ootake. Despite referencing X millennium T-tune code, it does not seem to be a fork. The X1 Twin core used to have an official Windows CE port, which was discontinued in early 2010. It is the only emulator to receive frequent updates up to this day, and also the only one (besides MAME) to have documentation in English. It was the first emulator to support the X1 Twin, and is currently the best one at it. ↑ Xmilx fork and x1_libretro core are still active.Ĭomparisons eX1 A very recent emulator that progressed very fast.↑ Only possible with Xmilx, ikaTune, Xmil106RS, T-tune + ikaTune, T-Tune forks.Needless to say, the X1 Twin also featured a HuCard slot. The X1 Turbo Z featured a 4096-colour mode, built-in FM synthesizer, video capturing/editing capabilities and (in the Turbo ZII and Turbo ZIII models) 128 kB of RAM. The X1 Turbo, released in October 1984, featured higher resolution and more VRAM. The whole X1 line runs on a Sharp Z80 A CPU at 4 MHz and 64 kB of RAM. When necessary, operating systems must be loaded using external storage devices, such as cassettes and, in all but the first model, floppy disks. The last additions to the X1 line, the X1 Twin, also included a built-in NEC PC Engine.Īt the time, Sharp was following a Clean Computer philosophy: this means that, in order to leave the user in control of the RAM, the computer shipped only with an IPL and BIOS. Despite being powerful for its time, the NEC PC-8800 series outsold it. These computers doubled as TV sets and included many functionalities that made use of this combination, such as the ability to superimpose text to the TV image and, in later models, even to digitally record live television, albeit in a compressed 8-colour video format. The first model, simply named Sharp X1, was released in November 1982. The X1 ( エックスワン Ekkusu Wan) is a Japan-only line of home computers created by Sharp’s television division.
