Fantastic! I'm glad to have a video walkthrough of the Config interface. Thanks especially for demonstrating the "press Return in the time and date fields" thing in Configuration. It's counter-intuitive and easy to miss, even though it's mentioned in the book.
I'll add a reminder that Filehost will only show you the "Kernal ROM - Stable" if you are signed in with your Filehost account *and* you have redeemed your owner code (the code on the piece of paper that came with the computer). If you only see "Kernal ROM diff files - Stable," you're either not signed in or haven't redeemed your code. Feel free to ask for assistance on the MEGA65 Discord.
Thanks, Dan and thanks for adding the login tip. I've assumed that folks already have a MEGA65 so that's a good add.
@@retroCombs The release core has the corresponding ROM bundled along with those other SD card files. If you're populating the SD card from a release core, it'll install the ROM and you won't need to get it separately. (The message is different.) The core slot entries that say "14 files" in your example are these. You were prompted to install the ROM file separately because you selected a non-release core for the files ("12 files") which did not have the ROM bundled, probably from a late test version.
So the tip about signing into Filehost only applies when you get to the "Upgrading" chapter in your next video. You'll need to be signed in and have redeemed your owner code to download the release package with the core that bundles the ROM file in this way. The release package download also contains the SD card files separately (including MEGA65.ROM), so you can update an SD card without formatting it by replacing the system files manually.
@@DanSandersonGot it and added to video errata on companion blog post.
Another great installation in the retrocombs TOME of mega65. 🤓
Thanks, from the Tome Master.
Great info, as usual!
Great retroCombian, as you usual! 😆Thanks for joining the premiere chat room with us. Great to catch up.
These videos are condensed but easy to understand hands-on tips to get your all new MEGA65 running in no time.
I do try to keep them as short as possible while including just the information users need for that specific feature. Some areas, such as networking, will receive even more coverage as we work through the manual. Thanks for joining the chat today and the kind comments!
Packed a lot of great info this video once again, great to see! :-)
For the bundled software for the batch#3 (r6) users, I'd suggest they get the "all intros" download rather than the sd-extras download, as it contains what the latter has and much more :-)
Excellent tip. I'll capture that in the errata.
Love the Mega 65 and the manual
They are great! For sure.
Great show 🎉as a DevKit owner where do I get the printed Users guide😊
Thanks! Glad you like it. Check out the video description for a link to LuLu where you can order. I also have the link to the PDF version.
@@retroCombs thx just ordered
Version 2 is great!
