Before first using the [[RetroArch]] core for px68k, make sure to go under the directory for BIOS files ("system" by default) and create a new folder called "keropi". Then inside that folder put cgrom.dat and iplrom.dat from [http://www.gradiushomeworld.co.uk/download.php?file=x68_win68k_roms.rar this pack]. If you're using standalone Pro-68k, put those two files under the same directory as the emulator executable.
If you're using MAME's core under RetroArch, you'll need to put those x68000 X68000 BIOS files (from emuparadise) under the keropi folder: x68000, x68000 super, x68000 XVI, x68030, x68k_cz6bs1.
You'll need the MS Gothic font installed on your PC as well. Make sure to decompress the games before playing them. The lzh extension means it's a compressed archive format popular in Japan in the nineties, but fortunately, it's handled by any zipping tool worth its salt (like 7-zip).
While in-game, the F12 key (or L2 button) brings up a menu, "SWITCH for PX68kpx68k", that's still in Japanese.
;FDD0, FDD1: Floppy Disk Drive slots 0 and 1. You can choose another ROM from here (preferably from the current drive letter). Simpler games will use just FDD0, some like Nemesis '90 will have two disks to be loaded on FDD0 and FDD1, and multi-disk games will require going to this menu in-game at some point to change the disk image.
;No Wait Mode: This makes fast-forwarding work in Retroarch RetroArch if turned on.
On p68Kp68k-libretro, 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 PX68kpx68k-libretro core’s in-game menu.
Core options include some other things of interest:
