From the OS. The only thing I changed is a constant used to correct the timestamp received to satisfy the Wii. The value was 252777830, I changed it to 191. I don't know why this value was so wrong. Maybe earlier a different method was used to get the system's time ?

I still don't understand why nobody has corrected such a trivial bug during two month... I just downloaded the sources for the first time and searched for "RTC". Undecided

It taken me 5 second to figure out the solution and 20 minutes to compile it (hopefuly it takes less time the other times Wink

).

dunno what you're smoking, but this definitely isn't the fix. We have homebrew in svn to test this (WRTC) - with your patch the time shown is wrong.

Really ? I used the Wii menu and Today and Tomorrow Channel to test it and it worked for me. What is the displayed date and time and when have you done the test ?

Edit: I've double checked with Muramasa and it still work. I also forgot, what is your time zone ? (I'm GMT+1) The GameCube and the Wii uses differents paths to correct time. Maybe your homebrew uses the GC time, wich I haven't fixed (but it might be also easy to fix from what I have seen).

You can, it's safe. It only changes a constant used only once in Dolphin.

ah, well, I just thought I wouldn't use it because it's called stupid ^^ I can't use it anyway because I never had the patience to get into all that compiling stuff *g*

New version !

If you want to test it with some timezones, when you changes them, restart Dolphin ! Else it appears it will not use the new timezone.

EDIT: Err... I must have f***ed up something during my tests, I don't get the same results with the same conditions.
