A weekend with #8bit computing!
Trying out some new demos and games on the #Mega65 and of course I copy everything that works onto a 3.5" #floppy.
Playing #megachase, a game written in #BASIC65 while listening to Bill Gates memoir "Source Code: My Beginnings".
So #BASIC, #8bitcomputing and #retrocomputing is very much a theme to this saturday!

Configuring the #mouSTer on the #Mega65
Firmware updated the mouSTer and configured it to use c1351.
It worked "ok" on #GEOS when having a nice steady but fast hand. But something is a bit odd when moving the mouse slow because it's just stuck until it jumps away pretty far.Don't really have any use for either a mouse or #GEOS65 right now though so a reconfigure of the mouSTer and more troubleshooting will have to be something for later.

Games! Playing some #Mega65 games!
After all the work with formatting floppies and putting labels on them it was time to get some practical use out of the #floppydisks.
"BASIC Star Galactica" - It's fantastic what one can do with BASIC on 40Mhz. And I had to put the Tac-2 to some hard work.
"Classy" - It's a candy crush like pussel game addiction with this game to match Computer logos!

The #Mega65 initial setup.
I connected my HDMI Capture Card so I can more easily switch between windows/computers while I'm downloading all the software I need on my new SD Card.
Started out with a new empty card and the built in formatting tool populated the card with ROM and essentials.
I wanted to try out the an original #Commodore65 ROM and installed that too on the card. Can then just switch between the latest Mega65 ROM and the #C65 ROM at boot.
