Re: Getting my ds off of military time

there is no way to change the military time. If your having trouble reading military time heres a example:

Just remember 00.00 to 11.99 are am hours

Also remember 12:00 to 24:00 are pm hours

So 19:00 would be 7:00 pm THe math: 19 - 12 = 7=7:00 pm

If you have any questions about reading military time just ask me!

DSi and DSi XL have the same programation (exept new added software) so the military time is include in DSi XL.

Re: Getting my ds off of military time

In Japan, where the 3DS was designed and programmed, they use military time often. That may have something to do with why the 3DS is the way that it is, that and the space issue on the screen.

Just remember there are 24 hours in a day.

The day starts at 00:00 (0 hours)

One hour later, it will be 01:00 (1:00am),

Then just keep counting up, but then things change after noon, or rather, don't change.

12:00 (12:00PM)

Then instead of going back to one, just keep counting forward.

13:00 (1:00PM)

14:00 (2:00PM)

etc.

Re: Getting my ds off of military time

Yep all the systems made by Nintendo with a clock have military time. I thought there was a 24/12 hour feature on my DSi XL as i was messing with the time on it a while back. I know wrist watches have that ability. I know about the normal DS and DSi but haven't touched a 3DS yet.
