Ask for Total Time Gaming

Hello everybody,
I try to search everywhere but I didn't found a homebrew that list me how may time I played on a game.
essencialy I need to know how to find the information written in the dashboard (wii logging), for each game I used.

Someone could help me?
I can dump my NAND, decrypt it and make a little c++ in windows, but I don't know where are the information...

When you play a game, the system menu logs the name of the game and the time you started playing. When you return to the system menu, it subtracts the time you return from the time you started to figure out how long you played. It then logs all this information on the wii message board.

ok, this sounds good, but I cannot sum all the 600 days of gaming by hand... !
Where are written these information, in such a file..? I try to see the fs-browser to understand where to find this log (-file I think), but the file are enough!

Just for better understand my question:
Is there a way to have a list like this:

- Legend of Zelda : total 50h 30m ..
- Wii Fit : Total 10h ...
and so on for each title that are logged in the calendar - dashboard of the wii

or better, a way to export the log-file ?

This isnt my area of expertise, but there's probably is a way to do it. I just dont think too many people have looked into it so far. If I hear of anything that may be useful, I'll let you know.

Edit: Now that I think about it, the Wiis NAND is essentially the Wiis memory so the logs are probably in there somewhere. I think dumping it would be a good place to start looking for them.

thank you, I'll try to understand something more on the NAND map.

Again, this isnt my area of expertise, but based on my understanding of the layout of the NAND, I'd say that the logs would probably be somwhere in clusters 0x7F00-0x7FFF on the NAND.

Co-incidentally I am working on that exact application now! Probably be three weeks or so as time is very limited. It will also have last time and date that you played each game/channel. I have worked out enough of the message-board file format to do this but need to make a UI.

I'm expert in Visual C++ on wnd. So let me know, If I can help you in this side.
I did something on my NDS w/devkitPro, but nothing on wii.
