Gp2x Clock/battery & Unique Id

[GP40]

Does anyone know if it is going to get a battery backup so it can keep time, like what was used on the neo-geo pocket?

Will they have an unique ID like the gp32_console ?
(I wanna know for customization reasons, not copy security )

Is there a way for a game/applicationto to find the ID of a gp32_console?

Only answer I can give is "No one knows until it's out"

"And maybe not even then"

You could always ask GPH via there support forum... (probably won't get a reply, but hey....)

Good question; I really hope it has a clock for once

i think there's no internal clock, sadly.

Maybe they can delay it to put an internal clock in.

they're doing some support for drm and commercial software so a unique identifier is probable and it's probably something programs can access

GPH haven't replied to any of my questions or suggestions

That would be a downer
Means that it wont be possible to do calendar/diary/scheduler and it means no time, date useage in games. I really like the idea of making games with day/night changes.

I wanted to look into a tamagotchi/little computer people type program, but if there's no time & date function, that really restricts what can be done

it for sure haves a rtc, the question is if it is battery backed or not.
