Conversion from 2HD to HDF?

Hi

I downloaded a collection of Doujin games for X68000 but all of them are in 2HD format, which is only supported by some emulators, I think, and not supported by MiSTer core.

I would love to be able to convert them to XDF which is the format that the core uses.

Is it possible? Is there a converter for this files?

Thanks in advance

you can download from archive org a batch with already converted files and play right away on mister core.

But maybe this particular collection is not already available in mister supported format?

Do it yourself and learn about X68000 and HumanOS, plenty of information literally just two forum posts below. viewtopic.php?p=84758#p84758 (and many many more in the same page)

Later edit: plus https://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=x68 ... _on_x68000

As a general note for all new users, please do some research in this forum/ask in Discord, as these questions were answered too many times. :)

No worries, I wasn't referring to you specifically, was more like a general idea :)

If you have Discord, do join us there as well, you might get faster quick answers from community as well

I tried finding any of these, but none seem to exist. Any chance you could point a guy in the right direction?

You can also try the hdm2d88.py converter in my signature. I'm almost certain that HDM and 2HD are the same format.
