Okay, I right-clicked your link and saved the file that way. What do I do with the ips file?
It's a patch file, apply it with a tool like Lunar IPS.

Thank you so much. It appears to work on VBA. I will flash it onto my smart card and will let you know if it indeed does work on it.It's a patch file, apply it with a tool like Lunar IPS.
Oh my god, I gotta punch you in the face with a $100 bill. You've saved my gaming life for the next year for sure! Thank you so, so much, my friend! Maybe in a couple weeks during Christmas Break you can show me what it was you did so I can do it myself next time I need another game to be patched!Thank you so much. It appears to work on VBA.

In the mean time, do you think it would be easy for you to give Pokemon Crystal the same treatment? It's next on my to-play list.
I'll be sure to PM you once break starts (on the 19th) given that I don't go out of town for the holidays. If I don't, you can feel free to remind me as I'd hate myself if I miss the chance to learn something so interesting.I'm sure Crystal would be a piece of cake after this, it's just a matter of different offsets.
You can PM me if you want to learn to do this sort of thing. Be warned, it takes a fair amount of time and practice to get familiar with the hardware. And the tools.
...something told me I should've gone outside with my mining pick. Looks like it was the right day to hit a motherlode.
Oh well, jokes aside, awesome to see that there's someone still being awesome around. Z80 ASM, amirite?
Ahaaaaa, I inadvertently helped a fellow gamer without knowing by drawing Drenn here! It's like slathering a tree with Honey and attracting Dialga... God Bless Drenn.thanks a lot for this patch. i really hope crystal gets the same treatment too though it looks it will be much harder as it doesn't have a secret menu.
The patch also works on different languages (tested with the german version of the game).sorry for the necrobump
the above ips patch also works on pokemon silver. tested on vba.
i just bought the same card as the op had, and was hoping to find something like this for silver, or at least figure out how to modify this patch for silver. working without any modification was a nice surprise

But if you don't want to patch your rom you can use this game genie code witch does the same (it's based on drenn's patch):

We're using a flashcart. I named it in the title.guys are you testing on a real flashcart? because i never had problems with vba.. it never says "time not set" or something like that vba does emulate the RTC... it does have a checkbox if on: rtc will follow real computer time, if off: rtc will advance only on game.
i can be wrong but the message should only happear on a flashcart or emulator with no rtc...

GOOD GOD I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THIS! Do you know if it works on the GB USB 64M Smart Card?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? ^^
What do you mean?I swiped the battery easily, there's just tons of tape in my cartridge now.
