First, you have to set the correct time under GameOS, as this will
update the real
RTC. That should fix your games.

Next, set the correct time under Linux using the "hwclock" command.
That will update the offset between Linux time and GameOS time in the
FLASH memory OS area. After that your time should always be correct
under Linux.
