Hello, I've recently purchased EDGE and 3-in-1 EZFlash for my DS lite from DealExtreme.
My question is how do people fare on their battery life with the EDGE card? I have yet to do a proper test using a real game cartridge to find whether I have a defective DS or not. Could people give me an estimate of what I should be getting for play times?
After an overnight charge I played my DS lite for 5h 22 mins (when it died) on lowest brightness, full sound, no GBA cartridge, the game "The World Ends With You". My red light appeared at the 4h 32mins mark.
My other side question is whether there is a Real Time Clock fix for Pokemon Emerald for the 3-in-1 EZ flash. I know GBATA fixes Ruby/Sapphire, but it doesn't patch Emerald and I have not found any IPS patch that would do a similar fix. If there is no possible way to fix this issue, is there any way to set the time in-game using a code? Gameshark or otherwise? Can I perhaps copy my save file over to the PC and use VBA to change the time in the game and copy it back?
What exactly am I missing by not having RTC working? I know about berries and the tides, as well as some kind of pokemart sale. I don't care about the beauty contests if that's what berries are used for, but what about other events? Should I play Ruby/Sapphire for the RTC events or is Emerald without RTC just as good?
This leads to my next question of whether I can use cheats with the 3-in-1 EZ flash and EDGE? I have read that I have to manually patch a rom file to change the code in order to use cheats, if this is the only method, could someone lead me to a guide on how this is done?
I will also post this in the EZflash section if this is not the proper location for such questions.
