RTC in Pokemon GBA? (using .CIA file)

[Cataluz]

Hello.

I'm creating a .cia from a backup of Pokemon Emerald using NSUI Beta 28. I have checked the option to use RTC, however the game does not use the console clock, but the one I set manually.

Is there an option to fix this or is it not possible? I mean, is there a way to make the game always use the console clock, not the one I set manually?

Thanks.

No and for good reason:

1, philosophical - each original GB(A) card exists in a vacuum, so it's perfectly right for the time to not be synced across them
2, practical - Hoenn pokemon games use a standard clock chip (year month day hour minute second) only for industry-standard lowest-bidder reasons, they don't need or want an actual date/time but only days and hours passed since you started the game (consider you set the clock once and then you're never expected to go back to it, nor can officially change it anymore at all), and in fact most versions of R/S do the date→number of days conversion wrongly (= berry glitch) showing how little it matters
