  1. 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!

  6. MegaMage - A Dungeon crawl? written in #BASIC for the #Mega65

    Copied it to a floppy, poured a glass of wine and begun to play.
    What a fantastic game on this #8bit machine.

  7. The easy part of doing the #retrocomputing stuff is the collecting and copying software. The hard part is to actually take the time needed learn and create something for myself.

    So now I really need to start learning #6502 (45GS02) #ASM and practicing my #BASIC skills on the #Mega65 because that's why I bought it.

    Thankfully @dddaaannn has made both an #assembler software and and the introduction to it. dansanderson.com/mega65/introd

  8. Tried out the newly released #GUI64 for the #Commodore64 today from github.com/WebFritzi/GUI64

    Works like a charm on the #Mega65 with the #C64 core!
    But I haven't yet connected any SD2IEC-device to try that out though.

    It's a simple yet elegant UI.

  9. My #Mega65 got a new badge today. Hope I'm not getting keelhauled by the community now for choosing a #Commodore65 badge ;)

  10. A photo from back in 2005.
    It was the last time I saw my #C64, 1541 #floppy disk drive, #cassette drives and games before I gave it away when I moved from Sweden to the UK.

    Now with my #Mega65 I want to play all the games I remembered playing as a kid during the days before the 386 and my PC era.

    The boxed games is easy to see what I once had. But I can only remember the names of a few of the copied games on 5,25" disks.

  11. 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.

  16. The #8bit adventure continues with the #Mega65.

    This morning I copied Showdown65 onto a floppy and played round after round single player. The music, the fast paced showndown gameplay and the game mechanics are all really great and well executed.

  17. 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!

  18. 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.

  19. After 2.5 years of waiting during the chip shortage the #mega65 finally arrived and unboxed!

    A machine to be the 8bit Commodore machine that never was released. - The Commodore 65

    40Mhz CPU
    384KB RAM
    3.5" Floppy Drive
    2x SD Card slots
    Ethernet

    The 8bit summer can begin!

  20. Once a year I test my #Commodore65 machines to see if they still work. This one is feeling its age a bit (I know how it feels) and needs some time to warm up before it displays a picture: youtu.be/kcnKnfoSMwg

  21. Three years ago the guy from the #HarzRetro #ComputerMuseum lend me his #Commodore65 for reparation. When it was in the Signallabor (HU Berlin) we did some fun shots with the hardware.
