Dan's MEGA65 Digest

Welcome to my Dan’s MEGA65 Digest, a monthly newsletter about the MEGA65 personal computer.

The MEGA65 is a new personal computer based on the Commodore 65, an unreleased prototype of a successor to the venerable Commodore 64. Built with love by Commodore enthusiasts, the MEGA65 is the ultimate modern platform for recreational computing in a retro style.

I'm a member of the MEGA65 Steering Committee, and a regular contributor to the MEGA65 platform, including the MEGA65 documentation, MEGA65 ROM, and MEGA65 FPGA core.

An incomplete list of some of my other MEGA65 projects:

The MEGA65 Welcome Guide, a booklet for new MEGA65 owners.
DanSanderson.com #mega65 blog entries, including programming tutorials and the Digest.
@mega65files Mastodon bot, a bot that announces new activity from the MEGA65 Filehost.
Symbols source generator for MEGA65 programmers.
EasyAsm, a fast and featureful on-device assembler.
