Hacking Would this be possible?

[Wanderer0891]

Would it be possible to design a new app that would connect to an internet time server and sync the wii's time and date with the servers? It could help people who play gamecube games on the wii because the wii's hardware shuts down when playing gamecube games or something like that.
Any thoughts?

Your clock doesn't stop when playing gc games
Why would it shut down?

i was thinking the same,i mean the wii does have a internal system battey!

 

[linkinworm]

yea it runs from hardware not software like you PC or mobile they still keep time and date when off

 

[bozzer123]

thats a terrible idea as the wii clock never turns off or stops

Why would this be needed?

Wow what an idea.......................................................
Can someone write an app to load the system menu when you turn on the wii?

my wii clock isn't correct after 1-2months anymore.

No need.

There's another prob: what if you are in another timezone? The time won't be correct unless you can build in a way to correct it. (Won't be too hard i guess)

 

[bozzer123]

there is a setting to change the time on the system settings! why is this thread still open?

 

[tj_cool]

cause no mod came by yet

Why all the hate? OK, so maybe it's not needed while playing GC games, but an NTP client is a perfectly decent idea for keeping your Wii clock in sync, and such things cope fine with different timezones. Personally I would prefer it to be part of a cSM or the HBC rather than a separate app, as it's the sort of thing that you wouldn't want to have to bother running manually.

WTF the clocks always in sync

iv'e left my wii powered off for about 3 months before when i worked nights constantly, and when i decided to power on, time & data were exactly correct......
