I'm also very interested in how this patch works. They can't "reprogram the ROM", it's Read-Only Memory. They have to be doing something in the save file. My theories are they suspected this would happen and added a flag in the save file to use alternate code, or they implemented some sort of patching system allowing them to insert code into the save file. I would guess they simply reset the day counter, but then wouldn't it happen again? [[User:HyperHacker|HyperHacker]] 05:10, 11 April 2009 (UTC) | I'm also very interested in how this patch works.

:Still curious about this, also, saving code would be a bad idea, what with the hackers and space constraints.

::I had a thought about the cause; it's said to happen after "about 100 hours" of play time? Perhaps 128? If the game were to mistakenly treat this as a signed number, up to 127 would work fine, but 128 would roll over to -128. That could cause some crazy calculation errors.
