Is there a trick to loading Sharp X68000
mGalaxy seems to recognize the emulator XM6G and the Roms
But when it goes to load the games, all I get is a bunch of Japanese
characters, and a picture of a hand holding a disk
Not understanding Japanese characters, I have no idea what it say's
but the picture is obvious, it is saying I need to load a game.
I do not know if it is due to mGalaxy, or if it is due to XM6G
But if anybody has been able to get Sharp games to load, what s the secret ?
Thanks.

Isn't it rather because you are missing the BIOS files?
You should have these 2 files in the application folder: 'cgrom.dat' and 'iplrom.dat'. Are they?

Yes, they are there.. Could it be they are corrupt?  The emulator loads,just not the game !

Maybe your roms are in .zip format? For them to open you then need 'zlib1.dll'
Anyway, please find here an archive of my working folder.

No the roms are in DIM format.
They do work with the emulator from the desktop is only when I load through mGalaxy that I get the Japanese characters.
I can play them, just not from the mGalaxy interface.

Thanks for the files JMD, trouble is when I click on the links, I get an advertisement for Lifestyle. IT's either that or Porn.  It won't let me download the files.

I see...you should have a ad blocking plugin on your browser (like AdblockPlus)
Anyway...I've downloaded the file from jmd and put it on another 'clean' server: https://ufile.io/gwotizr5

Thank you. Oh that was the emulator. This is the one I use. Like I said it works fine from the desktop. Just can not get it to work with mGalaxy.
