Avoids the hassle of redoing the time every time you unplug.  Of course, I run evoX anyways, so I don't set it anyways...

Can somebody answer this definitively, as I don't really want to try this out myself (rather learn from other's mistakes):

1. If Evo-X is the default dashboard on the hard drive, what happens when the clock needs to be set?

2. Will apps still boot up on CD if Evo-X is the default dashboard, but the clock is not set?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Hmm, good point. I heard that if the clock is not set EvoX would not load?

If that is so, then maybe this little feller is your solution. tongue.gif

Hey, u found a use for the proggie!!! biggrin.gif

Really, M$ should have made the clock run off a button battery, not a capacitor.  If they'd have done that, there wouldn't be much need to sync your box to an internet time clock, just set it once and let it go...

As it is, if you disconnect your box from a power source for more than a few minutes, you have to input a time.  Pain in the butt....pain to the max...smile.gif

Might be a project to do after everything else is done...i.e. Case mod, controller light-up mod, etc...smile.gif

And as Drew mentioned, it would apply to all your dashboard settings, not just the time...cool.gif

And aside from that, you're only out $200 if you fail...and we all know that everyone on Xbox-Scene.com forums is an infalliable hax0r mod god...wink.gif

I think we should get Epox to try it! After all, he's a master when it comes to soldering, and I'm sure he could figure out where to put everything. What do you guys think?

Most probably, if he did it, he would have another dead xbox in his hands. tongue.gif

thats kinda sad, a group makes a program like that, and im sure it took a long time too!  but its useless, lol.  oh yeah and xtender 1.1's make it so u dont have to reset the time ever.  it doesnt keep the same time but it takes away the requirement for u to have to set it.
