Based on the Commodore 128 64 mode it is backwards compatible. The Mega 65 is the fastest 8 bit computer out there.
- rbanffy 5y agoThe 65CE02 was a very slight improvement over the 65C02. It's a bit faster at the same clock and has some tricks that appeared on the 65816, but, apart from that, is not that impressive. The C65 would have been a much nicer computer than the C128. Unfortunately, for Apple II users, the fact it doesn't match 6502 timings perfectly makes it difficult to use as a drop-in replacement, as time-critical ops in joystick sensing and floppy IO may need some adjustment.

The Commodore 64 has a 65816 Super CPU add on that some games can take advantage of. It is needed for that Super Mario Brothers clone to get proper scrolling.
