Many will probably already know the MEGA65 – a somewhat beefed up “recreation” of the never released Commodore 65. As the machine gets into more and more people’s hands there is a growing number of people active with the platform. This means that every week new games, tools and updates to the system software is released. As it can be difficult to keep up with all the new stuff, that is released on the MEGA65 Discord channel, web forums and on the MEGA65 Filehost I will try (as a test for now) to use this page to provide news about exciting releases, work-in-progress and other MEGA65 related activities.
Don’t expect this to be an exhaustive guide for MEGA65 owners. This is at most a small attempt to supplement the information you can find elsewhere. So let me start by recommending these sources for MEGA65 related information:
- Dan’s MEGA65 Digest
If you have any interest in the MEGA65 – wheather you own one or not – then you definately should subscribe to Dan’s MEGA65 Digest. It is free and will keep you up to date with news, software releases, firmware updates, and tips and tricks, everything to complete your MEGA65 experience. Like this page, actually – just a 1000 times better. Dan is an active member of the MEGA65 Steering Committee and is the current maintainer of the MEGA65 ROM and documentation.
