A Commdore Basic V10 question... If I print Date/Time on startup using DT$ and TI$, I thought I'd get the current date and time, as the manual says (see picture). Instead, I always get 01-Jan-2001 and Time 00:00:00.
First I thought that date and time where not set from the RTC. But the time does not change at all. When the machine was on for one hour, I'd expect 01:00:00 as time but it still says 00:00:00.
Any suggestions?
Any suggestions?
Which ROM version do you use?
Or you have a defect RTC? How does your screen look after startup?
Dumb question... How do I set the RTC?
Hold down ALT on power up, press "1" to configure your Mega65 and go to CHIPSET 
A small percentage of MEGA65s shipped with a broken RTC chip. If I remember correctly, even without a battery installed the time should still count up from 0 if you have a working RTC. Once you have a battery installed, if it still isn't counting up, you may have a broken RTC. There's a test tool and a hardware workaround in development; see the Discord, and also the Welcome Guide: https://dansanderson.com/mega6…-doesn-t-advance-the-time

Thanks for the info! Got the battery and will try it the next days!
