• proofread all the text

• erase slot 1 or replace it with a non MEGA65 core, then try to flash slot 0 again

• test the fileselector

• do weird things while flashing

  • let the cat run over the keyboard

  • wiggle your plugged in peripheral (that’s the mouse, keep it away from the cat, though!)

  • do something I can’t think of

• DO BREAK a slot 0 flash!

  • so start flashing slot 0

  • when it starts erasing or flashing, just power off your MEGA65

  • the Release 0.95 Factory core has additional two places that will break rescue booting into slot 1, which are located here (first sector is the actual start of the bitstream, the other two are problematic).
    If you manage to power off while one of those is still there, the system will never reach slot 1 for rescue.

  • hold down NO SCROLL, power it back on and wait (while holding NO SCROLL) at least 1 Minute

  • you should be in slot 1 MEGAFLASH again

• edit flags of an existing slots

  • when in Edit Slot screen you can use the number keys to change the cartridge/default slot flags

  • F8 will show up in the bottom bar, try to flash

  • Note: only the flags of the slot you edit are changed. And the flag set in the lowest slot wins! So it is possible that you change a flag and nothing changes!

  • Example: Slot 2 is C64 slot. You add C64 flag to slot 5. Slot 2 will still be the C64 slot. Now remove C64 flag from slot 2, see what happens…
