WinUAE and Windows time synchronization

mc68060 · 16 July 2015, 20:28

What is really annoying for me is the apparent lag between WinUAE time and Windows time. Windows time always seems a few seconds to a minute ahead of WinUAE time.

Background:
I use GNU make on WinUAE to compile stuff for 68000. To edit sources, however, I use programs on Windows. Now there's the problem that when saving a source file under Windows and then switching into WinUAE to run "make", make fails to build anything because the source file has a modification date in the future. I then have to wait some seconds before WinUAE time finally catches up with Windows time so that I can run make. Sometimes, it's just a few seconds, but sometimes it's almost a minute which is really really annoying!

Is there any way to get rid of this lag between WinUAE time and Windows time and have both times perfectly in sync?

Misc panel -> Synchronize clock should help but also make sure selected Amiga model has power supply tick synced CIA TOD clock. (Adv chipset must not have Vertical Sync clock source set because vsync is rarely exactly 50Hz or 60Hz)

Thanks, problem solved!
