I didn't know about the whole patching 911001.bin... i am good now... except for one thing..... it seems BASIC has a bug.... you cannot set TI$
if you type for example:
TI$=""
you get "?RESERVED NAME ERROR"
but yet you can print TI$...

That's because TI$ is taken directly from the RTC, and TI is the uptime of the computer.

The reason I mentioned that specifically is there are quite a few basic examples on the filehost with that same error. Mostly the slideshow D81 images. So how does one do the equivalent of TI$="" on the Mega65?

In contrast to BASIC 10 (and the other Commodore BASICs), TI$ can no longer be set in BASIC 65. TI$ always contains the current time from the RTC (real time clock).
To measure the elapsed time from a certain point in time, one can use the system variable TI instead.
With CLR TI the system variable TI is set to zero. This counts up in a resolution of 1 microsecond.

I see, thank you. I'll correct them on the images. Thanks.

You should be aware that those examples were made for the unreleased C65 which was not full ready developed.
The 'old' C65 did not have a RTC like the MEGA65 does. So to work, those programs need to be adapted for the M65, which in my opinion is far less disturbing as to have a computer without RTC.

Why would you need that? The C64 and the C128 also had none, and also my A1000 had none.
AFAIK none of the 8-bit computers had that. -

Since the invation of the mobilephones, I do not own any watches anymore.
So all my gimmicks needs now own RTCs

When you sit in front of the MEGA65 you don't need a watch. You will know it's 1991.
