The xbox clock doesn't have a battery backup. So when you unplug it, the clock will have an invalid setting. Avalaunch fixes this by setting the date to a valid date (not the real date of course, unless you're getting the time from an SNTP server).

That's strange. I really haven't got a clue... Have to look into it more closely.

what you need is not avalaunch knowledge - but xbox knowledge.  Avalaunch only lets you know that something got messed up, and that it straightened it out for you.

Find someone that can fix your xbox if this is that serious problem

joker i just posted in a few forums to spread the chances of getting an answer but anyone i think ive sussed it. I reflashed with m8_16 1mb instead of flashbios/m8_16 1mb and so far its kept time so this experiment can now be noted for all to read.
