Gaming Changing the time in Sun and Moon?

[RealityNinja]

You can't reverse a save file... Use ida pro on the code.bin.

_BOOL4 __fastcall Savedata::GameTime::IsAlolaOffsetExists(Savedata::GameTime *this)
{
  return this->data.AlolaOffset != 9999999;
}

In my moon save, the value is set to 0xA8C0 -> 43200 -> 12:00:00
So my guess is, change it to 0 or 9999999, to enable sun time.

I've just tried to replace it to "0" and it displays "Save data corrupted" at pokémon moon launch... Where is the hash of the save file? XD

@Omegadrien
Yes, you can. But Talo said, that the value for the alolan time offset is represented by an 8 byte timestamp. So it is a double value.
And I am not sure, what you have to add to this double value to get an 12 hour offset.

It's an int64, not double. Just a normal int64 unix timestamp.

I've just tried to replace it to "0" and it displays "Save data corrupted" at pokémon moon launch... Where is the hash of the save file? XD

You need to fix all crc16 values, fix sha256 hash and sign the save with RSA-768... just use pkhex...

Maybe have a try and set the 8 bytes on offset 0x4648 to 00 00 00 00 00 98 96 7F (=9999999 in hex)

@Omegadrien
Try to set the 8 bytes on offset 0x4648 to 00 00 00 00 00 98 96 7F (=9999999 in hex)

Little endian... -> 7F 96 98 00 00 00 00 00

 

[MSco]

Ah k, sorry.

Edit: And double is 4 byte, my fault.

move ut 3ds clock 6-8 hours forward, so when u are playing sun at 20:00, ur in game time be daly time

 

[SkittleDash]

Why couldn't they just stick with system time? It was much nicer that way. Oh well...

 

[RealityNinja]

OK , it works, guys!! Sun time during day, in pokémon moon!
(in the save file, at offset 0x4648, replace to "7F 96 98 00 00 00 00 00" then use pkhex (https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX) to fix the crc16 values)

But the coffee man (in pokémon center) says that it's 6 am, and not 12am (current time).... WTF?

They need to do this, because Moon is 12 hours ahead of sun and

Spoiler

in the post game, you can switch the dimension from moon to sun and sun to moon

So the game needs some sort of value, to know what the current time is, otherwise it uses the system time.

Ah, I only just got to the Elite Four. That's actually really nice to know. lol

So does this mean the edition doesn't actually matter? Or does that only affect a special zone or reset once you quit the game?

It does matter, all version exclusive mons are still version exclusive.
This dimension stuff only exists to give you a second cosmog (the first one is the box legend) and to change time.

OK, fixed!!
Just to that to have normam day/night cycle in pokémon moon:
1. export your save of pokémon moon
2. hex edit it. At offset 0x4648, replace by "0000"
3. Use pkhex to calculate the hash of the save (so just re export your save with pkhex)
4. import the save file in pokémon moon

edit: if you replace by "7F9698", you will have 6am instead of 12am for example

moon or sun?

 

[RealityNinja]

moon or sun?

In moon. To have day time during day. (no 12h+)

 

[xtheman]

Thats nice but we wanted this to fixed the night in sun thing. Not add day to moon.

but if i want to reverse the time in sun after change the save? what i need to edit.

thanks!

Yep, it's fixed with that.
edit: ah, you want to play pokémon sun with the 12h+ ?!

 

[xtheman]

Yep, it's fixed with that.

How though? Wouldn't this give moon the proper time and sun the night?
Can you do the same to sun?
Since importing moon to sun i got really far.

 

[feer10]

Yep, it's fixed with that.

no, if you pass the moon save to sun, the save keep the night-day value of moon, we want to change this vale for the sun value
