This is a small utility developed for the Nintendo Wii which will synchronize the system time to the NTP time. There are two options on how to use this utility: 1. Manual adjustment using the wii mote or gamecube controller. Timezones are not remembered and will have to be adjusted manually by the user. 2. Configuration using a timezone configuration file: Create a tzdb.cfg in the same directory as the sntp application on the SD card. 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: https://timezonedb.com/time-zones 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. I shall not be held responsible if this would happen. I have of course tested this on my Wii system and it works for me. Happy hacking!
