General chat / C128 core for the Mega65
Last post by RobertB - July 24, 2026, 09:37 AM
Dan Sanderson reports that there is a C128 core for the Mega65 computer.  Here is what he wrote:

Commodore 128 core for the MEGA65, by Stefan Eilers.

Meanwhile, Stefan Eilers has a Commodore 128 core in progress, with an early release for people to try. So far only 40-column mode and IEC disk drives are supported. It does not yet support cartridges, 80-column mode, or virtual disk images off the SD card. But there's meaningful progress, and you can play with it!

You will need C128 ROMs for this one as well. The 72 KB system ROM bundle is to be installed as: /c128/boot0.rom The 512 KB drive ROM is: /c128/boot1.rom Check out the Github repo for the project for more information.

Just a reminder that PaCommEx 2026 computer set-up begins on Friday, June 19, at 4:30 p.m. until 7+ p.m. at our venue, the Old Rainier Brewery Intraspace at 3100 Airport Way S. in Seattle, Washington. (That should be after most of the traffic from the FIFA World Cup game!) If you cannot set-up your hardware during that time, we have extra set-up time on Saturday from 8 a.m. until the start of the show at 11 a.m..

For another look at PaCommEx, check out the the PaCommEx 2023 photos that I did not know existed until now! See

Just two weeks to the Pacific Commodore Expo NW!  Gather your gear, gather yourselves and join us at the Old Rainier Brewery Intraspace, 3100 Airport Way S., in Seattle, Washington, USA..  Bask in all the Commodore and Amiga goodness.  Learn new software and hardware.  Listen to the presentations.  Meet with fellow Commodorians/Amigans.  Exchange gossip and news.  Play with all the computers.  Sell/trade/give away your items.  Have a chance to win a door prize.

Admission is free (though donations are accepted to pay for the room), and the show runs 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.  Thanks to SDF.org and the Interim Computer Museum for their support!

Updates are still trickling into the website.  Look at http://www.portcommodore.com/pacommex
