If you're using VBA, and I assume you are, go into Options>Emulator>Real Time Clock.

I don't think that fixed it before, but i'll try it again. Here's to hoping.

That's great, but you can't change savetype when using a 3-in-1 in your DS (like I would love to).

For that matter, I can't seem to save properly in my 3in1 for pokémon games, even after patching the clean roms with the last version of GBATA...

create file with the name VBA-over.ini and put it in the same folder as the emulator

paste this in

Pokemon - Ruby Version
[AXVE]
rtcEnabled=1
flashSize=131072

Pokemon - Sapphire Version
[AXPE]
rtcEnabled=1
flashSize=131072

Pokemon - Emerald Version
[BPEE]
rtcEnabled=1
flashSize=131072

Clock fix get.
