The 3DS uses the 24-hour time format to display the time on the HOME menu among other applets. This guide shows you how to convert the 3DS system's clock on the HUD of the Home Menu to a 12-hour format. This will not affect other applets such as System Settings or the Nintendo eShop at the moment.

If all has gone well, you should now see a 12-hour clock on the HUD of the HOME menu. If the HOME menu does not boot or you encounter any other problem, it is recommended that you ask for help on the [https://discord.gg/nintendohomebrew Nintendo Homebrew Discord server] in one of the 3DS assistance channels. You could also ping me, the person who wrote this guide (Username: _themaniac on Discord), there and I will assist you if possible.
