24hr vs 12hr / Celsius vs Fahrenheit

[xdarkmario]

EDIT: original thread was called "Change 3ds time from 24hr to 12hr format?"
i know its a tedious act but i would like to know if that it possible to do?

You would need a home menu patch. Probably not the easiest thing to do, and I don't know if any capable dev would consider it worth the effort.

i see, and if its a home menu patch each update would undo it. suppose its not worth it then.

Home menu edits/patches I do

Actually, you can modify the home menu and update all you want (unless you happen to update from a lower firmware, such as 8.X, possibly 9.X).

Always wondered why Nintendo made a children's console using a 24 hour clock. I don't even know if they teach 24 hour clock in the US anymore. Except military maybe.

It would be cool to see this done! I hope you'd consider it.

You can already edit the home menu

I know it's possible, but I meant if he made a patch for 12 hour time because that's what it looked like he was saying.

I think he meant patching the system clock would be cool. Might be wrong, though.

EDIT: I guess I can consider myself ninja'd.

Because the US is not the only country that exists and that Ninty sells to. AFAIK a lot of countries outside use 24 hour clocks instead of 12. Kinda like how the US uses Fahrenheit while most of the world uses Celsius. But I could be wrong and someone can correct me if so.

Celsius makes far more sense because 0 is actually 0 (Gefrierpunkt)

It makes more sense to you because you were taught it from a young age. And just to play devil's advocate, kelvin is the only system in which "0 is actually 0" - in Celsius, 0 is freezing. But in kelvin, zero is referred to as "absolute zero", because it represents the lowest possible temperature (in which is actually unachievable). :^)

who needs this?

No one "needs" this, but some would prefer to use the 12 hour format because it's what they're used to. I myself would prefer said format, but I don't intend to jump through hoops to get it, especially when I have numerous other systems which keep track of time.

Seriously lol what you learn growing up makes more sense to you. I like Fahrenheit because to me a triple digit temp will always seem to capture how hot Vegas summer feels compare to what it would show in Celsius.

And honestly even for the US 12-hour people it isn't that hard to learn 24 hour or quickly convert to 12 hour (just subtract 12 and BAM)

It definitely isn't hard to learn, but I have no reason to use it, especially if I'm just going to be converting it to 12-hour time (because in the end, I depend on good ol' 12-hour time).

I would also like a 12-hour format. Perhaps @Aurora Wright could incorporate it into a Luma3DS option when you hold Select at startup?

It makes more sense than F, as 0 and 100 have meanings of freezing and boiling water. It also is easier than F, especially when learning and converting to K (cuz Physics) as delta C = delta K .
