1.1 Why a Welcome Guide?
The MEGA65 is brought to you by the MEGA Museum of Electronic Games & Art e.V., a registered voluntary asso-
ciation and non-profit organization. The core team of talented engineers and a community of contributors and patrons
made this possible. They continue to improve and refine the capabilities of your upgradable machine.
This unofficial Welcome Guide describes the state of the MEGA65 as it was delivered in the first manufacturing run
(batch #1) in the year 2022, including issues that may be fixed in later hardware batches and software updates. The
Guide intends to smooth out the experience for new owners of early versions of the hardware and software. It is based
on the author’s own experiences and discussions among new owners troubleshooting common issues.
This is meant to be a short-lived living document. Eventually, official documentation updates and future manufacturing
runs will make this Guide obsolete. If you’re one of the first people to purchase a MEGA65, this Guide will help you
get up and running.
If you notice anything in this guide that needs updating, or if you discover a topic not covered by the official manual
that you feel new owners should know about, please report an issue, email me (I’m Dan), or DM dddaaannn#7325 in
the MEGA65 Discord. Thank you!
