Can you change Wii system time & date without Wiimote?

[Foxes]

Pretty much title, I have Priiloader, Homebrew Channel and Nintendont installed on my Wii and it auto-boots into Nintendont so I no longer had any need for a Wiimote, and I no longer have one. But now I need to change the system time of the Wii (daylight savings) and the only way I can find to do it is through the Wii settings app, which requires a Wiimote. Is there any homebrew application or anything like that that would allow me to change the system time using only my GC controller?

I'm not sure if this has that functionality or not, but it's the first things that came to mind

I tried that but unfortunately it doesn't have that functionality.

This would be perfect but it doesn't seem to have GC controller support so I'd still need a Wiimote.

EDIT: That's no longer accurate, see post #11 in this thread.

Yes having a Wii without a Wiimote is as pointless as buying A Ferrari with no wheels. Sure you now own a Ferrari but you can't do fuck all with it lol.

I use my Wii to play GC games, which a Wiimote is not at all needed for. I don't even own any Wii games.

That's the whole point @Alexander1970 and myself are making why would you buy a Wii to only restrict yourself to playing Gamecube games especially when there are some awesome Wii games you are missing out from playing.

Because it's much easier to homebrew a Wii than a GameCube and it's also much easier and cheaper to get a high quality HDMI signal out of a Wii than it is to get one out of a GameCube. Any Wii games I want to play I play through emulation, and the same can be said for most GC games as well, the only thing this console really gets used for is for trading Pokemon from Colosseum / XD onto the GBA games and for dumping the discs.

On further inspection I saw that the latest version of that program on the creator's github actually did have GC controller support, there just wasn't a release for that version. I manually compiled it and the GC controller worked fine and I was able to correct my system's time, so thanks for linking that. For anyone looking in the future, this is the latest version of that program that I manually compiled:

I'm curious, does loading into the GameCube BIOS with Nintendont and editing the time there change the Wii's time?

No.
