Release Notes - MEGA65/zxuno4mega65 GitHub Wiki

Release 0.8

Release 0.8 is stable and feature rich. Thanks to ESXDOS and SD card support, loading software is easy. You can play a ton of classic ZX Spectrum games with it, including AY-3-8910 sound. Also most demos and application programs are working. And you can program in 48k BASIC.

• This core supports the MEGA65 R2 and R3.
• It uses VGA for video output and the 3.5mm audio jack for audio output. No HDMI.
• Insert the SD card that you will prepare below into the internal SD card slot of the MEGA65 (the one in the bottom tray): This is currently the only SD card slot, that this core supports.

Here is a list, what works:

• The ZX-Uno core runs flawlessly (CPU, ULA incl. ULAplus, RAM, ROM, ...)
• 48k BASIC
• VGA output
• Audio via the 3.5mm analog audio jack
• Keyboard using a convenient mapping
• Joysticks
• Ability to emulate a joystick via cursor keys. By default, a Sinclair joystick is emulated.
• SD-Cards via ESXDOS, but only via the internal SD card slot
