Time 'wrong' From the Internet

Unread post by RascalUK »

Just noticed (which is an indicator of how observant I am) that the time is wrong on my MiSTer, it's out by an hour, presumably since we switched to BST here in the Uk a few weeks back.

Now it is ZERO of an issue really but it's annoying me, can I alter it? Never noticed an option in my years of having it?

It seems like you have not set the time zone but are using the default UTC. Try copying /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Europe/London to /media/fat/linux/timezone. See https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_Mi ... sage-notes. Alternatively, run the script timezone.sh from the MiSTer menu.

I believe MiSTer will use the DHCP timezone if your router/DHCP server have that set which may help other devices on your network as well.
