Be nice if DOpus could be converted to the MEGA65 but in the mean time is there a simple file manager that can be used now in M65 mode ?

So far I don't know of any way to display PDFs on the MEGA65.

If, then it would have to be rather small PDFs anyway, since only 800 KB fit on a D81 image. Most of the PDFs I have here on the disk are significantly larger.

ah but we’ll have HD floppies that can hold close to 2MB

Can we read PDF's on our MEGA65's ?

shipping is a killer on those nice shirts...do you guys have a reseller over the pond in Canada or US ?

Sams Journey works out of the box as cartridge on the MEGA65

great to here as I'm sure new MEGA 65 owners will be expecting that all their old and new C64 cartridges to work with no issues

thanks to all involved! Having a 'proper' users manual like we used to get with our Commodore and Amiga computers when bought brand new was something very special and useful and I'm sure new MEGA65 owners will greatly appreciate your efforts

cool thanks for posting !

so I'm seeing that a 4:3 ratio monitor is the way to go and luckily I've got a few older LCD with VGA that would work just fine

While implementing the SIDs for the MEGA65 we took into account, that Commodore had two (main) revisions of the SID chip. The 6581 and the 8550.
If you take the 6581 by itself everybody will agree, that even within the chip version the revisions vary and almost not one 6581, even within those revisions ,sounds like the next one.

We know, that our SID implementation is quite awesome At the moment more and more musicians are joining our discord, helping to even more finetune

our current SIDs. On top of that, work is ongoing, that we will give the possibility to choose between 6581 and 8550 for each of the 4 SIDs.

Also on the list, but further down is the MSSIAH implementation, to get the cartridge working on the MEGA65

This is great news as I enjoy using my MSSIAH cart and looking forward to making music with 4 SIDS in my MEGA65 one day

looking forward to more info/ videos on this new Turrican II for MEGA 65

ah yes gotta have solitaire for those late night doing work eh

That's awesome news and looking forward to hear those 4 SID's in the MEGA65 in action !

Yes, half a year ago I remember. At that point it was not (yet) working. Best if you post your question in Discord in the #peripherals section to check the actual status.

Thanks will check out Discord

Love it on my breadbin 64 and was hoping it will work with my MEGA65 and wondering if any devs/testers here have tried it out on the 65 yet?

hope they all get sold out soon to make room for more MEGA65 owners !

I do like the idea of new software being supplied on SD card ONLY if its too big to fit on a floppy though...problem I have with SD cards are those small damn cases to keep them in....they're so damn small that they're easy to lose and hard to stack/store neatly

Ordered mine last Thursday at 1:00 EST and got an email back just today from Trenz saying I should expect my MEGA65 to arrive in 2022 so guess I missed the first 400 units and that's good news as I'm happy to see we'll have a nice large user group soon...the more the merrier
