* The system's month and day must be July 11th, which is the date of Iwata's [
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoru_Iwata passing]. The loaded date originates from network-time-sync'd time, regardless of whether the user has it enabled or not. When the system was never connected to the Internet and is on 1.0.0 it comes from the user-specified date instead.
For newer systems, trying to load the network time if it was never set will result in an error: they won't ever be able to launch flog without a time-sync with Nintendo servers. This is loaded from the time service-cmds, with the actual time-sync being handled by NIM.
