Problem:
Request for the Real Time Clock feature to be implemented on the SNES. This enables period and penalty durations to correspond with actual real-world time, meaning a 5-minute period is equivalent to 5 real minutes.

Modify The Time Clock To Be Real Time:
Want to make the time clock use real time instead of 2.5x speed?

ROM Offset: (hex)F85B6-F85B7
Change: AA 0A to 44 04

The above change will slow the clock down to real time.

Modify The Penalty Clock To Be Real Time:
Want to make the penalty clock real time?

ROM Offset: (hex)F3F66-F3F67
Change: 18 00 to 3C 00

ROM Offset: (hex)F8668-F8669
Change: 18 00 to 3C 00

The above 2 changes will make the penalty clock real time.

BONUS INFO:
This is all setup already on the SNES GitHub repo along with other Hacks. Check it out!
