Introduction

As the MEGA65 is essentially a new computer, a lot of the technical aspects of the machine, including the ‘VIC IV’, can be quite hard to understand.

The first place to look, would of course be the excellent manuals, they will give you a great understanding, on a wide range of topics.

I have also started to document my own findings, from a newcomer’s point of view, in the articles below. Mainly as a source of reference for myself, but also to help others as well.

Hopefully, you will find them useful.

Also, I have some short videos, showing some of the MEGA65’s capabilities > My YouTube Videos
