So I’m dealing with a game that relies on the internal clock of the Sega Saturn. You are able to change the date in the core settings but not the actual time. I also tried to edit it in the movie’s sync settings but it wont allow me to overwrite that file. Does anyone know how I can change the time without having to do it in the BIOS menu?

Figured it out. so apparently the option is in the core settings, to do this you have to open the calendar in the initial time setting and click "today" twice. Doing it for the first time will change the date to be the current real time date, doing it the 2nd time will add the actual time itself, which you can double click to edit the time to anything you want. so you should get this: now if you need to change actual seconds, you can also edit that into the time by typing somthing like this: however if you click out of that window, it will appear to have removed the added seconds to the time. however the seconds are still in the sync settings, you just cant see it if you open the movie file and go into SyncSettings.json, you can see that the seconds are still saved in the movie file:
