Change the RTC date before booting #1407
-
|
Hi. I want to run Windowx 9x beta versions on v86. They are date protected so when I run the imagen, I get an error saying the version has expired. How do I change the RTC date using libv86.js? If that's not possible, how do I do that using the index.html provided along with the v86_all.js? Thank you. |

Here is my experimental patch: SuperMaxusa@7b39186 (download from artifacts) To use it with libv86, add the var emulator = new V86({
<...>
utc_base: new Date("1995-01-02T10:11:00Z"),
});The option in the UI is not implemented. Tested on MS-DOS, but I can't guarantee it will work with beta "timebombs". |

Wow, this is amazing. Thank you very much, @SuperMaxusa , this solves my problem. Btw, how is that this is not part of the master branch? The same way now you can configure basic BIOS parameters like the boot order and devices/acpi availability, modifying the current date and time is a key configuration too. |

Firstly, sometimes it doesn't work correctly. For example, I can't set the year to less than 2001 on Linux. Also I haven't test an update interrupt and other RTC-related timers. |
