MEGA65 Welcome Guide
The Freeze menu is accessible when in C64 mode, and can be used to mount D81 disk images (or the physical disk
drive) with disks containing C64 software.
MEGA65 includes a D81 disk image with C64 games and demos, named C64.D81. Use the Freeze menu to mount it
to the first drive, then resume C64 mode. Use C64 commands to access the disk in unit 8.
LOAD "$",8
LIST
LOAD "DIGILOI",8
RUN
Some of the programs on the C64.D81 disk only work with the PAL video setting. If your monitor supports it, change
this setting in the Freeze menu.
Note: MEGA65 currently only supports D81 disk images. Support for the more common D64 format that represents
a Commodore 64 5-1/4” floppy disk may be added in a future update.
C64 mode is not to be confused with the C64 core, an alternate way to run C64 software on the MEGA65 which we
will discuss later in this guide. The C64 core supports D64 disk images, in a different way.
Tip: For detailed information about C64 mode, see the User’s Guide, chapter 5, starting page 39.
