VisualBoyAdvance-M

Like many people I love Pokemon and had these games as a kid and I want to play the original Gold/Silver/Crystal versions again, but I don't really ever have time to play it in the daytime and so it's always night time when I play because the VBA-M Emulator just works too well.

 

I was wondering if there is a way to set it so the I can just start the game in the morning and as I progress it will change to day and night. What I mean is that when I close the emulator and it is 5:31 in game, if I open it two hours later it will still be 5:31 in game.

 

I have tried save states and and turning off and on the Real Time Clock option but no matter what it fixes the time by how much time has passed on my computer. I can set the clock on my computer forward and it changes but I don't want to do that every time I play the game.

 

I want to be able to have time go by normally but only when I'm actually playing the game and not when it's off. I know this is an odd request but is there any way to be able to do this so I can experience all the times of the day without having to change the clock on my computer

 

I am running Windows 10 and I am using VisualBoyAdvance347_x64 (Latest Version)

That is the marvelous thing of pokemon the real time system,the only way to manipulate time in game is through gameshark otherwise is impossible (have you tried changing the time on your pc everytime you start the game like it was 5 when you closed the game and set time on pc to that once you start over the emulator is the only workaround gameshark can freeze the time but will break time event)

Gameshark havent worked for me but the real time system is what makes pokemon unique because some events are based on time and day only (for example certan type of pokemon only appears at day X and time X other shiny pokemon could appear at night X time X) those events are hadcoded in the game itself.

Besides not wanting to make the time pass as it should is just not wanting to enjoy the game the wonders are the rtc because normally time passes when you are not playing and the rtc have been implemented since the snes era (Tengai Makyou have this system,chrono trigger was supposed to have this system but they couldnt implement it)
