Re: How to disable to RTC?

Should adding the line: "SoftRTC"=dword:1
after: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Platform] in platform.reg
be sufficient to run the platform with the soft RTC?

Thanks
Ole

As far as I know, there is no way to "disable" a PC RTC.
Why don't you simply avoid using it?
OK, it is not so simple as system calls such as GetSystemTime fall in a
piece of code that expects such a RTC to be present, but you can use a
dummy starting time and date altogether with current ticks count to carve
something that will please the system.
I did not use it but there is also a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Platform\SoftRTC
that you can try to set.
