This is a small utility developed for the Nintendo Wii which will synchronize the system time to the NTP time.

User guide

There are two options on how to use this utility:

Option 1:

  • Manual adjustment using the Wiimote or GameCube controller.
  • Timezones are not remembered and will have to be adjusted manually by the user.

Option 2:

  • Configuration using a timezone configuration file. Create a tzdb.cfg on the root of the SD card in your Wii.
  • Populate it with the following lines: http://api.timezonedb.com/v2.1/get-time-zone?key=MY_API_KEY&format=json&by=zone&zone=America/Toronto&fields=gmtOffset
  • Autosave.
  • Register an account at timezonedb.com.
  • Change the MY_API_KEY to the api key you will receive.
  • Change the timezone from the list available at timezonedb.com.
  • If you want the utility to exit automatically after adjustment keep the autosave, otherwise remove.

Implementation details:

  • Timekeeping is done by reading the (ever incrementing) Real Time Clock (RTC) and a counter bias stored in a system configuration.
  • If you adjust your time in the wii menu or by using this program the counter bias is changed.
  • There is always a risk that updating this counter bias could corrupt your system as it is part of the system configuration.
  • The author shall not be held responsible if this would happen. This has been tested by the author on the Wii system.
