The '''X68000''' <small>(<span lang="ja">エックスろくまんはっせん</span> ''Ekkusu Rokuman Hassen'')</small> is a home computer created by [[wikipedia:Sharp_Corporation|Sharp]], first released in March, 1987, sold only in Japan. Its hardware allowed for close-to-arcade-perfect games to be made for the system (it was used as a devkit for Capcom CP System games for example), although adult games from PC-98 crept in thanks to the competitor's popularity.
The X68000 to SUPER models had a Hitachi HD68HC000 CPU at 10 MHz. The XVI to Compact models had a [[wikipedia:Motorola_68000|Motorola 68000]] at 16 MHz. The X68030 has a Motorola MC68EC030 CPU at 25 MHz. They had 1-4MB of RAM and 1MB of VRAM. It had a Sharp-Hudson Custom Chipset as its GPU.

===Comparisons===
;XM6:XM6 is an emulator for the Sharp X68000 by PI. Its source code has been [https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/xm6-source-code.59702/ released].:;XM6 Pro-68k::It is a derived from the venerable XM6, which was developed by PI. Focused on providing necessary debugging features and has decent compatibility. It has since been succeeded by TypeG in most regards.:;[[XM6 TypeG]]::Another fork of XM6. It can run in X68030 mode in high accuracy, good peripheral/expansion support and will run just about any game you throw at it.:;XM6i::XM6i is an unofficial port of the Japanese Sharp X68000 computer emulator XM6 for Windows, Mac OS X & NetBSD, and built largely around being able to run NetBSD/X68k. While it can run games, it is clear that this is not what XM6i is focused on.
;[[MAME]]
:MAME has excellent X68000 emulation these days, including its trademark fully configurable peripheral cards. A lot of graphical bugs were fixed back in 2021, so all of the games people talk about (and several they don't) run quite well. And you can output MIDI music to MUNT or a real hardware MT-32 or SC-55.<ref name="Reddit r/mame">{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/MAME/comments/tpwvtz/x68000_input_config_question/|title=X68000 input config question|publisher=Reddit|accessdate=2022-03-27|date=2022-03-27}}</ref>
;XM6i
:Built largely around being able to run NetBSD/X68k. While it can run games, it is clear that this is not what XM6i is focused on.
;px68k
:An open-source fork of the c68k emulator. px68k has a libretro core but lacks options like save states present in other emulators. It lacks MIDI emulation.
:;px68k-libretro::It is supported on Windows, GNU/Linux and macOS systems; and has portable versions for PSP, Android, and other platforms. Games' performance on this emulator (Both PC & mobile variants) is considerably faster than what MAME's X68 core can achieve.<ref name="forums.libretro">{{cite web|url=https://forums.libretro.com/t/px68k-libretro/10113|title=Px68k-libretro|publisher=forums.libretro|accessdate=2018-04-02|date=2017-05-04}}</ref><ref name="libretro">{{cite web|url=https://www.libretro.com/index.php/new-core-px68k-androidioswindowslinuxmac/|title=New Core: PX68k (Android/iOS/Windows/Linux/Mac)|publisher=libretro|accessdate=2018-04-02|date=2017-06-10}}</ref><ref name="Reddit r/emulation">{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/6ggz06/px68klibretro_x68000_emu_released/?st=jfh7xutu&sh=831c6f7b|title=PX68k-libretro X68000 Emu Released|publisher=Reddit|accessdate=2018-04-02|date=2017-06-10}}</ref> This libretro branch was forked, starting on May 3, 2017, from hissorii's old build (Last updated on August 2014), backported 'c68k' core from [https://github.com/kenyahiro/px68k/ kenyahiro's 'px68k'] branch (fork of [https://github.com/hissorii/px68k hissorii's 'px68k'] branch using recent c68k yabause core to support X64 build). The Pandora version (An open-source handheld PC) by ptitSeb was forked from hissorii's 'px68k' branch and encapsulates the latest code from px68k-libretro (A spin-off of hissorii's branch). It should now have good performance as of Build 09 (March 2018).
