Computer clocks are infamous for drifting. One day you think you're all in synch (no direct relation to the boyband), but what you don't know is that you can easily drift seconds per day, resulting to errors over time.

It may sound severe, but think about this. Say, you're using your Nintendo DS or DS Lite as an alarm clock, however, because you've let the seconds continue on drifting, you got late for a very important appointment.

Fortunately, MoonShell and ReinMoon.">Infantile Paralysiser, creator of MoonShell, has come up with an SNTP Client that would keep you in synch (again no relation to the boyband) with the rest of the computing world. Just a little background for those not so familiar with what SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is, it's a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks.

The only reason to be late now is if you stayed up all night playing Nintendogs.

Japanese dev MoonShell and ReinMoon.">Infantile Paralysiser is sending his "konnichiwa" shout-outs with the latest MoonShell update. You might recall that a few days ago he released v1.4 beta 8 for his nifty multimedia app for the DS. Just how cool is it? Well, it can play DVM videofiles and MP3/NSF soundfiles. Also, you could use it to view your Jpeg/BMP/PNG pictures as well as your TXT files.

Anyway, he's got another treat for all NDS users out there, with the release of MoonShell v1.4. As it is not in beta stage anymore, users could expect lots of bug fixes and a cartloads of improvement in this version. Want to know exactly how different this is from the other ones?

• MOD/MIDI/SPC/NSF/GBS plugin: Change sampling rate to 32768Hz. The over sampling was invalidated.
• MIDI plugin: Linear interpolation when 16bitPCM sound font is used.

Infantile Paralysiser presents us today with yet another version of his version of SaTa's Rein (back-up manager), ReinMoon. Supporting Supercard CF/SD and M3 CF/SD, this program allows DS users to back up NDS game save files.

As has been established on the previous versions, the ReinMoon developer does not speak English and if you head over to his website, you'll find out that it's in Japanese making it hard to understand the changelog posted. So we have to make do with this Babelfish translation:

• Savename.txt was renewed to 2006/07/16 editions.
• The finger pointing conversational register of nintendogs/ traveling/you abandoned that it decides individually from the saving data of the style book.
  

Installation for this app is as follows:

1. Extract the downloaded folder
2. Run the given .exe file (Windows Only)
3. Select the output directory.
4. After you finish running the program, navigate to your output directory. Make sure you have a ReinMoon folder and the required .nds file.
5. Just copy over the ReinMoon folder to the root of your memory stick and copy the NDS file that you need.
6. To backup your save - Open the application on your NDS and go to the output directory (anywhere you want). Then Hit Start+Select, then Start again.
