Hey im new here and i need some help... i really wanted to play this game on my old GBA SP so i bought a supercard sd and it was all going well but, just as i read all over the internet, i had a problem with the game's internal clock and the game is in night time forever. It wouldn't be a problem if it was day time but night time is to dark on my old GBA. So the thing is, i need a sav. file with Unbound at the beginning (possibly with Gible as starter) but day time so i can play for real. Can someone help me? or recommend to me an emulator (for pc) that saves in sav. pleeease i really want to play this on console =(
I haven't played with a GBA for a while, I usually use RetroArch (Android and Linux), so someone please comment on the RTC (clock) feature compatibility with an actual GBA (I just recall having read about flash cartridges with RTC).
Anyway, most popular emulators should provide compatible .sav files.
The more popular ones handle this as the raw battery save file, so you can just rename any .xyz save file to .sav and most of the time it should work fine when copying between emulators.
One thing to mention though, RetroArch for example uses .srm ("Save RAM") as extension, which is fully compatible to .sav emulators in my experience. No guarantees though, it just always worked for me.
If you decide to use RetroArch (which is a little user unfriendly at the beginning), make sure you disable the compressed save file setting. Otherwise it "zips" the save file to a few kilobytes, which is not compatible with anything else.
I have no idea whether or not the time stays fixed day time. This may be entirely dependent on your flash card.
Finally, if it does stay day time, you wouldn't be able to utilize any time dependent feature, I think. This would include night/dusk evolutions, gifted Pokémon or exclusive items for example, this hack even calculates the day of the week for optional but cool stuff.
Personally, I would recommend using a compatible emulator (cheap/free) or a flash card with integrated clock module (expensive).
