Homebrew {Request} Can someone look into the FLOG Emulator? [Updated]

[ShiftaDeband]

How could the know that Iwata would pass away 07/11
the flog comes in FW1.0.0 so the date doesn't matter

???

He passed in 2015.

I'm really starting to think the Switch stores th

That's what I'm thinking here:

I want to test but can't for a few hours. It isn't too hard to get to battery, just requires that dang Tri-Wing screwdriver.

Missed that! If it were stored, I think there's three places it could be stored:
1. True time stored by battery, battery must be removed to reset time
2. Stored to user-data, console must be re-initialized to reset time
3. Stored to some permanent data area of the console, which cannot be reset... this would probably be a problem...

To anyone else saying "How could they have known?" They could have added this in at a VERY late point in the firmwares development. Probably added it in BECAUSE Iwata died.

Iwata died in 2015..Switch was released this year..
It's not about 1.0, it's just that once you've been connected to the internet, it uses the real date.

Its a little tribute hidden in the code for Iwata with a little golf game. The "Directly To You" gesture was Iwata's signature introduction to the games he presented in Directs.

Has anyone tried resetting the Switch from the recovery menu then doing the gesture (after the correct date was set, of course)?

According to yellows8, one must find a way to remove a cache file on the Switch module, without connecting to the Wifi.

I fear that the cache file, once connected to Wifi, cannot be removed permanently. The cache file contains data that tells the Switch to use the network-synced time/date, not the user-defined time/date. We need to use the user-defined time/date for the Switch to see July 11, else it will always see the current month/day.
