:: I think, I added most (all?) of this info already on the page. I was merely thinking that moving it out of this page may be sensible. To be honest, I do not know really much about the RTC-stuff. I read furlocks-forest and the A-Save-thread and experimented a bit from there. After some failures, I was pretty happy when berries grew again and I could farm shell bells from shoal cave. It seems like talking to the old man can re-start timeouts; maybe there are other restart-events as well. I've tried to understand the 'last save'-value and the relation to the 'game started'-info with several starts of the game but failed to do so (exact values are documented on furlocks forest) so I cannot really add much to the discussion. I could try whether the other time-based-events work on my cartridge (on which I changed the battery without starting a new game). If they do, the old man could be the key.

::: Thanks for replying! I see. The 'last save' value seems to be 'time started' + 'time passed'. I am currently trying a few things based on new info I found on the furlock's forest site in the comments. (I restarted my game and uploaded it to [http://furlocks-forest.net/tools/pkmntimestamp.php | their timestamp check] to find out what the 'cart's time' that some talk about is. Will now manipulate my game with the cart's time in mind. Maybe I can simply take the values from a newly started game and copy them into an old save file …?) Will report back in case I am successful. Thanks a lot for mentioning the old man, will check that, too. In case we ever get it to work, maybe we could write a tutorial or something like that together?

::: Update: I got it to work with the RTC editor from furlock's forest. Turns out that if you have ever saved on your game with VBA’s RTC enabled, the game is messed up. I couldn't get such games to run again, but it works fine on all other games (untouched by VBA). As I was doing most of my testing etc. with a cartridge that had been messed up by VBA, most of my test results were simply off and made no sense. It seems like at the moment, the RTC edit tool is the only thing that can really help you as simply changing the 'last save' date etc. with save file editors doesn't work. At the moment there is only the GBA flash cart version around, maybe one day someone will make a version that runs on DS flash carts, too. Anyways. If you think it's a good idea, maybe update that last sentence about the 'last save' date and/or add a note that save files that have been saved on with VBA's real-time clock enabled won't work in any case?
