MEGA65 Welcome Guide
Caution: Many of these upload actions reset the MEGA65 in the process, and will not warn you. Make sure you
don’t have any unsaved data.
11.3.3 Transferring files to and from the SD card
You can also upload files directly to the SD card. Click SD CARD to open the file transfer utility on both your PC and
the MEGA65.
Note: Do you see “ERROR: Could not open the file system” when trying to use this feature? This feature may
be broken in M65Connect v1.8. Behind the scenes, M65Connect invokes a command line tool called mega65_ftp.
M65Connect may be bundled with an older version of this tool that no longer works. This should be fixed the next time
this tool is updated.
11.3.4 Other cool things M65Connect can do
M65Connect can also do these cool things:
• Reset the MEGA65 (RESET).
• Reset in C64 mode (Go64).
• Switch between NTSC and PAL video modes (NTSC, PAL). This does not reset the machine.
• Take a screenshot of what is on the MEGA65 display (Screenshot).
• Type into the MEGA65 from your PC keyboard. Click “Keyboard,” then type normally, and access the non-
standard keys by clicking on the virtual keyboard that appears.
• Remote machine language monitoring and debugging. See the built-in manual (Help menu, Manual), Terminal
tab.
Tip: For more information, see the M65Connect README.
11.4 The m65 command line tool
The m65 command line tool can do many of the things M65Connect can do, and more. It’s a much more technical tool,
used by the MEGA65 team and Trenz Electronic to test, troubleshoot, and verify MEGA65 units before shipment. It
could also be useful for software developers that want to automate cross-development tasks.
You can download pre-made binaries of the m65 command line tool from the mega65-tools Github repository. You can
also download source code, with build instructions for your platform.
