  • Time deviation C64

    From Andreas Kohlbach@3:770/3 to All on Wednesday, November 30, 2022 10:00:25
    What's the time deviation on a Commodore 64? Are there differences
    between NTSC and PAL version

    Time deviation of what exactly?

    At least the CIA Time-of-Day clock uses the 50 or 60 Hz of the
    electrical mains as a reference so that should be fairly accurate.

    Let's say you boot a C64 and live it alone for a week. How much would its "clock" deviate then?

    At least the CIA Time-of-Day clock uses the 50 or 60 Hz of the
    electrical mains as a reference so that should be fairly accurate.

    So could be off 1/60 of per second? OK, that I can use.
