Re: Prevue Emulation for dummies.

You need to edit the curday.dat file with the date of the emulated Amiga (usually todays date) with a Hex editor. I've had a hell of a time getting it to work but I did get it. There are a handful of curday's on the forum and I've had the best luck with the simplest one "Tulsa" since it on...

GOT IT!

I'm using the "Tulsa" curday.dat and edited it to 070 (March 11) and finally got it to work. Using the FS-UAE emulator passes on today's date/time. The other emulator, WinUAE doesn't seem to pass on date/time correctly.

Re: Stuck on Thursday, Jan 1, 1970

Also, just to make sure I understand, curdate.dat contains the julien date (000...

Re: How to add curday.dat without putting any Amiga programs

I just tried replacing the curday.dat in the PREVUE.ADP disk image with the one from tvg_uncomp.zip and am still getting a ERR007.

Do I need to powerpack the curday.dat on the ADP for it to function?

edit: figured it out, see my previous thread about Real Time Clock
