Now, my #MEGA65 is not only a MEGA65 and #Commodore #C65 prototype, but it also has become a #C64, as well as all #CBM / #PET models, like the #PET2001 and the other models, both normal and business types.
There are other cores too, such as a ZX Spectrum, Game Boy, Galaga, Bombjack, Ghosts'n Goblins, etc.
There also seem to be more in some form of development stage.
Just finished reading the 29th #Discworld novel Nightwatch and felt like I wanted play some #DiscworldMUD this morning.
The #Mega65 is such a great retro experience for stuff like this. Works great with #C64 Cartridges and software.
This is #TotallyNormalComputing in #8bit
Using my #Mega65 in #C64 mode with a #TeensyROM cartridge to connect using NovaTerm over Swiftlink to a local shell on my #Mac Studio.
With 80 column mode, VT102 and ansi colors.
Inserted the #TeensyROM cart to the #Mega65, firmware updated it and connected the ethernet cable.
Works right out of the box with with dhcp. I connected to The Oasis #BBS to try out this new toy.
Bought myself a #TeensyROM cartridge as a #Christmas gift to myself and It arrived today. But I could not wait until the 24th so I opened it a few days too early.
A friend printed out cases in different colors but I think i'm going with the white and use the button from the red one.

OMG, @martin_piper is selling his Commodore 65.
Wish I had the necessary cash, but I'm afraid this will forever remain a dream for me.
Fun fact: the C65 has a 50 pin cartridge slot, much like the #Plus4 and unlike the #Mega65.

You know what the best way to work with a computer is, right?
Read the manual, try things, and HAVE A DEDICATED NOTEBOOK. Must be handwritten.

#MEGA65 #retrofunpl video episode 0.2, only 2 years late into making.
My cozy #retrocomputing corner just got upgraded with another machine that I started for the first time today: a #MEGA65 (a modern reimagination of the final 8-bit #Commodore computer of the early 90ties that never shipped)
What a lovely computer, and fun system! 
It is very welcoming so far, with its printed manual, setup screen and demo disk it boots into. The mechanical keyboard is a joy to type on -- the layout is quite different to what I am used to, but that is part of the charm :)

Set up my #mega65 booth at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo for this weekend. They gave me two tables and a big screen TV! If you’re in the Portland, Oregon area, come play!
