Great job retrocombs! Well done on packing in so much detail! Appreciate the effort you took to piece it all together :-)

@retroCombs Месяц назад

Took cues from our collaborative speed video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xx1njgEzTFk.html) How do I cram it all into a small amount of time while still giving the content value.

@rhialtothemarvellify 10 дней назад

The display window functionality was already there on the PET in Basic 4.0. Just with some control codes (there were no escape codes yet back then): chr$(15) and chr$(143)

@retroCombs 7 дней назад

I did not know that! Thanks for sharing and now I want to fire up my PET and give it a shot, or at least VICE…stand by…It worked! Very cool.

Thanks so much! Having a blast putting these together.

I’m binging these videos while dealing with a bit of a feaver, hearing “To press F2 press shift and F1” confused me for far, far longer than it should have

@retroCombs День назад

Nope…I get it!!! Hope you are feeling better.

@gabor222 Месяц назад

Excellent content as always. If everything goes well we only have to wait a few more weeks for the shipping of the next batch. 28:30 I thought inserting a C64 cartridge would force the computer to use the C64 core (if available on the SD card) instead of make it "GO 64" with the Mega65 core. Am I wrong?

@retroCombs Месяц назад

Thanks for the kind words. We'll spend more time on cores in a later chapter. Since at this point in time in the manual we wouldn't have the C64 Core installed, inserting the cart will take us to GO64 mode but as you state, there is an option now on the MEGA≡65 to have the core the default C64 mode. More on this topic in a later chapter. Great question.

@WiebodeWit 20 дней назад

You can (with the 096 release) set the C64 cartridge flag on the core level. This will force THAT core to start when a C64 cart is detected.

@retroCombs 20 дней назад

I'll share how to do this in a later chapter. Thanks for the reminder.

Greetings neighbor from Bloomington! Where did you get the commodore neon light from ?

@retroCombs 7 дней назад

Hey, Neighbor! Very cool to know there's someone a couple of counties over into the same hobby. I found the neo light over at www.retroledsigns.com/Commodore-logo-LED-sign-Bright-multicolor-nearly-10-wide-662-LEDs-p483562276 Great to hear from you!
