A new #Mega65 #FPGA Core released today. The 10th Anniversary Edition.

Installed it together with the new rom as my new default and it works great. Lots of bug fixes and improvements.

And a new intro disk to go with the new system software. It's a bundle of new software, demos and games.

Almost a year ago and days from my birthday I got my #Mega65 delivered to the door. Within minutes I open up the package and started playing with my new toy.

And of course I forgot to pause and appreciate the time someone spent creating the cover art. So today I'm doing just that. The mega comes in a really nice box and it really creates the feeling of a true birthday present!

Being an orga of an event, I can assure you that the UNDEFINED computer arts and homemade electronics festival, that I manage, will indeed happen on March 1. in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. The festival features a lot of #demoscene related stuff, including videocalls to various celebrities and also some programming sessions.

The webpage is here: undefined.chaosconstructions.r

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!

This is amazing! Someone in the States offers Commodore 1581 replicas, including two dual drive variants.

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

A lunch break with the #Mega65

Using the floppytest utility.

Wiping used 3.5" HD floppies
Putting tape over the hole to them "DD"
Formatting and verifying each #floppydisk

Had time to go through 15 floppies and all of them seemed to work.

@davbucci ahhh, capacitors, they've become a regular in my life ( looking at you #8BitComputing and #retrogaming ). I'll be looking hard at all the usual suspects in the deck I've purchased.
