Boktai 3's sun support isn't working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I'm using a clean rom + translation soft patched by putting it in the
rom directory with the same filename
2. Opening the menu and adjusting sunlight does nothing.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Zero bars of sun no matter what.

Does this issue occur on VBA-M r781
(http://vba-m.ngemu.com/vbam/vbacompiles/msvc2008/VisualBoyAdvance781.7z)?
If so, please report the issue to the VBA-M forum.
Dunno, I'm on Linux and afaik VBA-M hasn't been ported yet.

What version of the product are you using? On GameCube or Wii?
Wii

Please provide any additional information below.
I haven't tested the first two games, I'll try them later.

Boktai 1 gets interrupted with a message that the sensor is broken shortly 
after I
started a new game. Boktai 2 works perfectly though.

I'm guessing you did this at night time? :-D There is no sun at night, no 
matter 
what the weather. Now stop cheating, and play the game the way it is meant to 
be 
played. :-)

If it was not night time, then make sure you are not pointing your Wiimote Del 
Sol 
at the ground. That also blocks sunlight.

If it still doesn't work, let me know. I haven't tested Boktai 3 much.

Yes, Boktai 1 always gives that error. The sensor is not broken, so I don't 
know why 
the error occurs. Maybe something to do with the real time clock.

Oh, it hadn't occurred to me that the emulator simply disables this feature at 
night
to try and closely match the real cartridge. I tried Boktai 3 again in the 
afternoon
and it does work perfectly! No more buggy patches that don't work in bike races 
or
fail to show skylights or mess up dashing!
I suppose it'd probably be a good idea to replace the sensor setting in the 
menu with
a message letting you know it's disabled when you try and use it at night so 
nobody
gets confused as to why it's working.

OK, it now tells you when it is night time so you can't set the weather.
