If you don't count the unfinished #C65, the #C128 was the only real successor of the #C64. It's a damn interesting wolpertinger machine 🤯 (Two CPUs, two graphics chips, you name it ...)

Well, I guess most already know the famous Bil #Herd emails telling the story of its development at #Commodore (toxic workplace anyone?). But if you don't, it's really a fun and interesting read, look here:

¿Alguien que tenga pedido el Mega65 tiene alguna fecha de entrega confirmada? ¿se sabe cómo está la producción? #c65 #commodore #Commodore64

Dieser neue Trend zu Pixel-Games...
Ja klar. Grafikkarte der neusten Generation und es werden Pixelspiele gezockt.
Da packe ich dann doch lieber meinen Amiga aus - oder noch besser... den C=64 😜
Die Spielekonzepte sind ja eh nix neues, sondern nur aus dieser Zeit abgeguckt.

Das Gute an Trends:
Sie sind schnell wieder vorbei.

@kate I love the logic behind this! ...but eyeballing the respective r/g/b columns on the 16 colour triplets, I was confused that the blue values didn't follow a logical progression - the "5" in #a35 drops awkwardly between a 7 and a 6. Digging further, I see you already have it as #a36 in the embedded svg, the "#a35" in only the visible text and css. Is "a36" the intended fix? (though... #a35 seems redder/better to me, but then the third colour would have to become #c65 or even #c64?!)

There are some minor future iterations of the #MOS6502. Of course there are the #WDC65c02 and #WDC65c816 but #CSG also did the #CSG65CE02 which has a Z register and can move zero page using a Base register and can use all of RAM as a stack. It also adds a word address mode and can run at up to 10 MHz.

There is also the #CSG4510 which was intended to be used in the #C65. It's essentially the CSG65CE02 with some extra stuff.

End of a long working day 😴🥳

Tonight I am somehow in the mood for fiddling around with the Mega65 again.

(It is a pre-production model with the serial no. 3. For the actual sale some things were changed. Nevertheless a great device, which is still missing some real blockbuster games and apps)

I have posted on my blog about the evolution of the #commodore product line to the #mega65. This new post talks about the memory options. Stuff gets complicated, sorry :) but that is what it is.

This is the 2nd post in a series about the Mega65, the community developed Commodore 65 evolution. In the series I myself try to understand why the Mega65 is what it is, to prepare myself for when I get it (someday, I ordered one but who knows when I'll get it - chip shortages) and start coding on this fantastic machine.

#retrocomputing #c64 #c65 #c128

I still have #amiga and #c65 #commodore #CSG and #MOS prototype chips in my bank tresor to put up for sale some day 😉 The #c65 was a prototype of a #c64 succesor. I have a CSG 4151: DMAgic DMA Prototype Chip (designed by Paul Lassa) and two Super-Denise 8373 prototypes (one MOS and one CSG) and . Anyone interested ? All three are really rare. The upper both denises show the changing times when Commodore changed MOS Name to CSG - Interesting read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology

This is Bo -> "
It is my pet fly and he lives inside the #commodore64. In my next video, I will put Bo in different situations and we can see how he behaves. #c65 #basic #retrocomputing #programming
