Gaming Getting event items to Pokemon Emerald retail card

[redfalcon]

So I finally got hold of a retail copy of Emerald. I plan to play it on my vacation, but want to get all those event tickets that are unobtainable by now. I usually just would dump my save, cheat the items into and copy it back to my card, but I read somewhere (here?) that this will render the internal clock unsable. Is that still true, or is there some possibility to bypass this problem?

The internal clock will be unusable for a while, but it will start working again if you don't play your game for a while.

When I restored my Ruby save file, the internal clock was badly messed up, but after not playing for over a year it was working again when I checked.

Well yeah, but I want to play it in the next three weeks

So thats not really an option

But does it really matter?

Play it in those next three weeks, then set it aside for a while.
Or maybe it fixes itself even if you are playing it.

Can't you go back to your room and reset the clock?

I don't know if it matters, since I don't know what exactly will break. I remember my Ruby Edition suffered from the clock glitch, so all timed events were frozen and no berries grew anymore until I had it patched by Nintendo. If its the same if I alter my save, I rather pass on the event items.

The clock cannot be reset.

It's different.
What happened was that, for some reason, the game thought you had played for 9999 weeks and the time advanced really slowly (plus, daily events didn't happen)
I had left my game alone for a while after finding out this had happened, and it fixed itself.
