Title: Setting the Clock/Date
Post by: THX-1138 on July 22, 2024, 09:59:18 PM

Hi

I cannot seem to find anywhere to set the time and date in AmiBench.

Not in Prefs or AmiBench_Prefs

I've tried setting it in a CLI shell but it's lost after a restart.

I believe its still being added.

It currently auto sets time and date, via internet.

Unfortunately mine is off by an hour.  I think it's showing GMT but not BST?

You can set it per session with

C:Date

Yes, the underlying issue is that linux clock uses  UTC and amiga clock uses local time. Patching amiberry to pass on the time modified by the timezone is on the todo list.

How about adding it to startup-sequence?
