I know this thread is for pokemon gold but i think this is useful:

Actually there is a clockreset method in the titlescreen of pokemon crystal ... but it is much harder to get there as it was in gold/silver, here is a short tutorial:

1. Boot up the game to the titlescreen
2. Push and hold Down+B+Select
3. Release Down+B but keep Select hold down
4. Press Left+Up (still holding Select down)
5. Release the Select button

Now the password reset dialog should pop up ...

But I think this is far too complicated for daily use.
So here is a patch that allows you to reset the clock everytime you load a savegame of pokemon crystal for any version (language/region does not matter) :)
Pokemon Crystal RTC Patch

This patch does not seem to work correctly on VBA, but who cares if it's working well on the everdrive? ^^
I'm here just to say THANK YOU!!!
Was looking for this file and you saved me.
Now i can play Pokemon Crystal Restored(A hack that restores Crystal Japanese version exclusive content) on my real Game Boy Advance 101.

Can someone rehost the IPS file? The link no longer works.

Done, here ya go.

Reading the subroutine for the "clock reset" menu, all it did was write 0x80 to a byte of the save RAM. It's a "clock reset byte", I guess. So I put a read breakpoint there, and I find a function which reads the byte as a return value. So I hard-code the return value of that function to be 0x80 instead of whatever the value actually is. It seems to do the trick.

im pretty sure this is it. .txt extention because forums are oddly restrictive. you may have to remove the .txt to get your patcher to play nice
