Not only is the WinX68K emulator updated, it's in English--in a ZIP file!
Besides that, the sound did not go offkey when I loaded a savestate while sound was playing (the tone unfortunately hangs while you're in the menu, but the game played fine afterwards). This is a big improvement by itself.
Installation was similarly very simple--I just unzipped the file and dropped it in my current WinX68K emulator's folder and started playing! Nothing needed adjustment, though it's nice to note that if I wanted to I could change stuff.
Give it a try...you won't regret it.
Can't say I know where to find Daimakaimura, Strider, and Space Harrier for download, though :/

That's awesome news, I've had very little problems with the last English version of the highspeed X68 emu, in fact it's probably my favorite emulator I've played this year, mainly because I had never heard of this computer before this year and the arcade ports are great.
i have a complete set of X6800 roms that I downloaded from usenet. I think it takes up 610mb. If you're interested in any specific games send me a pm and I can email them to you. Individual games look like they are only about 200-900k each. edit: actually the games you mentioned are multidisk games and each disk is like 1mb each, but still just those three games are about 8mb zipped.
I don't really have time to make CD copies of every rom for everyone but if someone wants to work out a trade maybe we can get a complete set of roms to someone who has more time to distribute.

I could use a copy of Daimakaimura (I want to play Space Harrier and Strider on the real machine first, if the disks still work, that is ;)

Here you go, you know I'm posting on my Mac wireless laptop and I'm too lazy to go to my PC and get the file for you ;)

Great little system, so you have an original setup? I would love to own one someday. I noticed that a lot of the roms I have come in .dim and .xfm formats, I bet if you had a 5 1/2 floppy on a PC and some nifty Japanese program you could transfer one of these disk images onto a floppy to play on the real thing. I haven't looked into because I'm a few years from owning a X68000 :-P
