X1 Emulator for X68000 supports X1 Turbo emulation since 1.00 rel2 (released May 1995). Its readme also mentions an earlier, barely-working payware emulator.

;X1 Emulator for X68000
:Probably the first truly functional Sharp X1 emulator to ever be coded, and the first to be open-source. It was first released through a BBS in ''1993'', when the Sharp X68000 was still on shelves all around Japan. ApparentlyIn the readme, it is only capable of emulating the original X1coder mentions an earlier payware he used as a reference simply named “X1 Emulator”, which means high-res mode applications won’t workwas barely usable and doesn’t seem to be archived online. It X1 Emulator for X68000 is only able to run at a maximum of 31 kHZ, and is also incompatible with the D88 image format, accepting only 2D files. It is hideously outdated and pretty much useless nowadays for anyone who doesn’t own a Sharp X68000, yet it is an important footnote on Sharp X1 emulation history. After its initial release, it was picked up by another developer and received small updates until 1999 (!). Curiously, it has some functions that other emulators wouldn’t pick up on until over one decade later, such as having four emulated floppy drives, the option to change clock speed and not requiring ROM dumps to work. Its configurations are stored in the CONFIG.X1 file; for usage help, use the -? switch on the command line.
