hmmmmm...The problem with ninty hardware is the wii updates over wi-fi so you can't set the date back. So in 2K68, our Wiis will shit the bed.
Although i bet video games then will make the wii look like catch compared to Star Wars Battlefront III

so I guess Cartman's plan to freeze himself while waiting for the release of the Wii and finally being unfrozen 500 years later really wont work since the Wii's will be screwed... poor Cartman.... hahaha]]> DrLucky OfftopicTue, 17 Feb 2009 13:48:24 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9954#msg-9954 Re: Y2K38http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9954#msg-9954
ok, what i meant was that i think nintendo sets the date back to the correct thin g with an update. But i bet they'll stop updating by 2015. So after that we just have to remember to set the date back.]]> z400100500 OfftopicMon, 16 Feb 2009 19:52:06 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9952#msg-9952 Re: Y2K38http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9952#msg-9952 pinball Wizard OfftopicMon, 16 Feb 2009 17:03:43 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9942#msg-9942 Re: Y2K38http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9942#msg-9942Although i bet video games then will make the wii look like catch compared to Star Wars Battlefront III]]> z400100500 OfftopicMon, 16 Feb 2009 05:17:31 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9194#msg-9194 Re: Y2K38http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9194#msg-9194

I was only 10 for the Y2K bug... so I don't remember : how did they fix it? or was it blown out of proportion?

It was blown out of proportion (I only think that not 100% sure) because I can set my old Mac SE to over 2000 on the year without a problem.]]> pinball Wizard OfftopicSat, 31 Jan 2009 18:37:36 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9182#msg-9182 Re: Y2K38http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9182#msg-9182
For what I get it, the biggest problem at the Y2K was the storing of dates using 2 digits, to save memory. They "just" changed the time variables to 4 numbers.]]> DanielHueho OfftopicSat, 31 Jan 2009 15:57:29 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9178#msg-9178 Re: Y2K38http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9178#msg-9178 DrLucky OfftopicSat, 31 Jan 2009 15:21:29 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9171#msg-9171 Re: Y2K38http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,9171#msg-9171
Not sure what libogc uses - probably a mix between the two, so it's probably got the Y2K38 bug.]]> marcan OfftopicSat, 31 Jan 2009 11:20:08 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,8889#msg-8889 Re: Y2K38http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,8889#msg-8889That's what they said in 1971. And this bug is real.

Of course, simply converting timestamps to 64-bit will solve it (64-bit timestamps give you a couple trillion years before overflowing), which is already largely underway.]]> HyperHacker OfftopicTue, 27 Jan 2009 07:45:37 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,7867#msg-7867 Re: Y2K38http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,7867#msg-7867 pinball Wizard OfftopicWed, 14 Jan 2009 02:42:40 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,7866#msg-7866 Y2K38http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,7866,7866#msg-7866
