Need help with Priiloader hacks, WC24/Wii-link , and vWii UTC Patch Generator.

I'm going through the process of setting up WC24/Wii-link, and I have a few questions:

1. Through Priiloader hacks, Is it possible to preserve vWii system settings AND always enable WiiConnect24 on boot? The official Priiloader hacklist describes that WiiConnect24 and Standby Connection have to be enabled manually after every startup, as enabling "Always enable WiiConnect24 on boot" will stop the "permanent vWii system settings" hack from working. I want both enabled. I'm curious what technical hiccup is stopping both hacks from working simultaneously, and if there's a workaround.

2. Is "ErikAndren's" "SNTP" extension a viable substitute for the vWii Priiloader WC24 UTC Patch Generator? To prevent WC24 functionality from breaking due to misaligned time values, I want to ensure my vWIi system menu has the correct internal UTC offset that matches my Wii U, instead of the incorrect default hard-coded offset (as described by garyodernichts in the patch generator). I'd rather not mess with my hacks.ini file. I also don't understand how to configure a second hack for daylight savings time.

1. There's no point in using the "always enable" hack when you can have the system settings enabled, enable WiiConnect24 from there, and then the setting will be persistent. Making the other hack redundant. Only way for that to get overwritten is if you use a Wii VC game (either an Inject or an official release from the eShop). That can be then prevented with the Wii VC Launch Aroma plugin, once again making the other hack unnecessary.

2. No, the hack doesn't do the same thing as SNTP. SNTP is for making sure the clock is correct according to your time zone, the hack is as the page describes to fix an internal offset issue that actually should depend on the current time, but for some reason it doesn't.

As for making a second hack, you just repeat the steps for making the first hack and add both to the ini file, and only enable the hack that corresponds to your time zone. For example, EST is UTC-5, but during daylight savings EDT is used instead, which is UTC-4. So simply make a hack for UTC-5 (no daylight savings) and another for UTC-4 (daylight savings).

Do I have to manually enable each daylightsavings/no daylightsavings hack in Priiloader according to my actual time?
