If I could swing it based on price I'd want two, one to use and one to keep in its box (assuming it had a box).

Our group can't wait to program games for the mega65 in 800x600, 256 color, up to 1 meg, in 64k banks. It will be a real pleasure transfering our games, and utility software into this renewed system,...
View ArticleRE[48]: MEGA65 wants you!
Hi Jody, This sounds great. The cartridge port works very similarly as for a C64, and most C64 cartridges will work. For expansion memory, the MEGA65 will have 8MB of ~10MHz expansion RAM in the final...

Some time ago you mentioned a redesign/core count/speed bump of the cpu. How is this progressing - this is maybe a part of design size shrink? Just curious ;)

Routing is the most important procedure in the overall PCB design, which can directly determines the performance of the PCB board. In the process of PCB design, routing can be generally divided into...

dont change a thing! keep on truckin! do exactly as you do and ge the c65 released. the point is, the c65 is not a c64 even if it emulates the c64. waste time? building for computers is a passion and...
View ArticleRE[7]: WHAT MICROPROCESSOR ?
We want it to only be 8-bit processors, so no ARMs. It would have been so much easier if we allowed a big processor, but for us, that spoils the result. Paul.

We always love to hear people's creative ideas about how they would llike to use the MEGA65. Note that the MEGA65 has an SD card slot, so there is already bulk storage looked after. It is only running...
View ArticleRE[15]: SID, SID, SID...or....What is the SID approach for the MEGA65
The Mega65 was originally planned to have 2 onboard sockets for SID chips. But since a 6 layer PCB appearantly is going to be too costly with the extra real estate for the sockets the devs opted for 2...

No worries, and thanks for the pull requests and comments on the commits on github. This is exactly the kind of input that helps us to make the MEGA65 more available to the community. Paul.

Before routing, you should make an analysis of the design and carefully set the tools and software, which will make the design meet standards more.
