The PX68k core has been authored by hissorii. The PX68k core can be found here https://github.com/libretro/px68k-libretro/blob/master/doc/kero_src.txt

The X68000 (Japanese: エックス ろくまんはっせん, Hepburn: Ekkusu Rokuman Hassen) is a home computer created by Sharp Corporation, first released in 1987, sold only in Japan.

The firmware files need to be in a directory named 'keropi' in RetroArch's system directory.

keropi/iplrom.dat X68000 BIOS - Required
keropi/cgrom.dat Font file - Required

You can launch px68k to launch a supported game. You can also use px68k without any content by using Load Core and then Run Core. This will directly bring you to the px68k menu.

L2 button or F12 key brings up the original px68k menu where you can change the inserted disks.

They have to be unzipped to be accessible from this menu but can be zipped/archived when launching directly from RetroArch.

After the first boot a “config” file will be generated in the “keropi” folder. You can enter your rom folder into the “StartDir” line to make it accessible from the PX68k-libretro core’s in-game menu.

Define your disks path in system/keropi/config StartDir line.

Swapping Disks
Games that have more than 2 disks will often require swapping disks at some point during gameplay. There are 2 supported methods to swap disks in this core.

Use the disk swapping option from RetroArch GUI.

Open the RetroArch gui, select Quick Menu - Disk Control to access the disk controls. Eject the disk using the Disk Cycle Tray Status command, then set the new disk index and load the new disk by selecting Disk Cycle Tray Status again.

The default disk drive that is swapped is FDD1. If you need to swap the disk loaded in FDD0, change the Core Option "Swap Disks on Drive" first before loading the new disk in this menu.

Use the native PX68k menu

Press L2 on the controller or F12 on the keyboard to access the PX68k menu, then select the disk slot and choose the file from here.
