This week the Mega65 team announced, that pre-orders for the machine would be opened this week in the Trenz Electronics Shop. Should you not be able to get one of the first few hundred machines, or not willing to live with it’s price tag, there is an option.

Just use the emulator.🤘

Thanks to the Xemu project you can emulate a number of machines on Windows, Linux and MacOS - including the MEGA65.

Stephen Combs went through the whole installation and configuration process on a M1 based Mac, documented all the necessary steps and also provides a video with all the gory details.

This no-cost solution will be definitely an option for a number of fans, who will not get hold of one of the first machines.
