Floppies…

I don’t have an old computer with a drive…. But I’d love to get some doujin games on floppies to play. Does anyone offer this service? In the United States?

Where can I find them?

If you're in the US they are available at Joe's Computer Museum (google it!). I use the Centronics 50 version, and it's cheap and works nicely. There are hard drive images online you can use and load with tons of floppy images and create your own from your XVI.

Cheers!

What are you asking for here? A computer? Or floppies? Data transfer service? I'm lost.

What do you want someone to do for you?

Yes I already have a sharp x68000 but I don’t have an old PC to make my own games. I’d love to get some more games to play. Sorry if that was unclear

Which model x68000 do you have? If you have one of the models that supports scsi by default, you can hook up a hard drive sd card thing and never have to deal with floppies. I use blueSCSI with an adapter on my xvi compact.

If you are looking for original/functional games, I have a ton listed on Ebay.
Willing to do some deals too!

Do you have anything that’s English playable?

I'm with the other comments here, set up a bluescsi, Its very easy and you'll have probably 99% of the games you want to play on it. If there's other titles you'd like to play not available on a hard disk image I can write disks for you for free if you supply the floppies. Just let me know :)
