Other notes

I've been playing Wild World via my hacked DSi for a while now and while I'm enjoying it the Clock glitch has been quite annoying. I've seen this RTC issue on your forums just to make sure I'm not repeating the same things, and found little to no documentation on how the Time glitch is triggered, so I thought I'd do a little research with AC:WW to document the behaviour of the RTC.

So the Time glitch seems to occur whenever the weather changes, or whenever the cloud pattern changes. This doesn't seem to happen every single time, as I've had days where the Time glitch rarely happened. I've decided to record my DS with a video camera for an hour just to see if I can find a pattern and here are the results.

Started recording at 4:02 pm

8/16 5:12pm0/0 12:00am5:07 > 5:12 = 5Min

[NOTE: The clock chimed at 5pm, but unlike all the other chimes the screen didn't change to night. There are times where the glitch happens a minute before or after the hour, but this is one of the few cases where nothing happened]

Total times the glitch occured: 14 Total time between the first and last glitch: 1 hour and 5 minutes Average time between occurences: 5 minutes

As you can see the weather at this hour changed very frequently, which means the Clock reseted a lot. The clock seems to reset to "0/0 12:00am" everytime this happens, though in the game it sometimes feels like it goes at an earlier or later time (Moon appears at a diferent location, sometimes the screen flashes white instead of the regular night time, sometimes it thinks it's the evening instead on night).

Pros to this glitch:

Animals who were previously asleep are now awake for a brief moment before going back to bed

Trees still grow as normal

Fosil locations don't move

Animals still know that you've talked to them that day, and won't yell at you for not talking to them like it would normally happen if you jumped in time

Snow will sometimes fall if the glitch happens while raining

New weeds won't appear when it occurs

Bugs, fishes, and balloons will not dissapear [NOTE: not sure if you can catch winter fishes in the one frame this glitch occurs]

Event specific items will not reset their location

Cons to this glitch:

Town tune chimes every time the glitch happens

Sometimes the player will get interupted by Pelly annoucing that it's a new day which will cause fish, bugs, and balloons to reset their position while losing control of your character for 15 seconds, but nothing else will be reset (I.E.: new weeds won't grow, fosil locations will still be in the same place, Animals will still remember that you've talked to them, etc...) [NOTE: I haven't done anything with turnips yet]

When events happen, and the glitch occurs, the player will always be inturupted by Pelly annoucing that the event is over, followed by another annoucement that the event has started. Like the previous con, bugs, fish, & balloon locations will be reset, but the event will still continue as if nothing happened and will still keep track of your progress. This is still a major annoyance as every time the weather pattern changes, you lose control of your character for about 30 seconds.

Sometimes the player will get kicked-out from Tom Nook's shop, but the player can just go back in without any problems The same thing could happen in the Able Sisters. One thing to note is that Tom Nook won't kick you if Pelly interupts first, and Pelly won't interrupt if Tom Nook kicks you.

The weather changes very quickly, though upon further inspection in the few times where the glitch doesn't occur during a weather change. The weather is supposed to change often, but slowly from one to the other. The glitch only makes the weather quickly snap between one to the next (due to it reseting the time)

I hope this little research of mine has given you a clue as to what's happening with the RTC on the DSi. I'd love for this to get fixed one day, but I can understand if it's not possible at the moment.

If you'd like me to, I can also make another test that also documents what the weather pattern is, what the glitch does to the weather, and whether or not I get interrupted by Pelly.

Your console: DSi Launch Method: TWLMenu++ 16.3.0 Version used: All Releases from v0.35.1 down to v0.29.3 Game tested/used/applicable: Animal Crossing Wild World (E)(Legacy) Device used: SD card

Hello, I am also having the issue described by NothanyTPM.

I kept downgrading nds-bootstrap in order to check if the issue persisted with other versions and the issue did persist. I tried all versions ranging from nds-bootstrap v0.35.1 down to v0.29.3 .

In order to downgrade I just downloaded the nds-bootstrap files of a version and replaced those with the same name and extension present on the SD card.

I also have a 3DS, with TWL Menu 15.0.0 and nds-bootStrap v0.35.0 but the issue doesn't occour there.

I tried downgrading TWL Menu to v15.0.0 on the DSi by replacing the "_nds" and "BOOT.NDS", it still said v16.3.0 when I checked on the menu so I beleive I've failed to downgrade it. I still played the game after and the issue persisted.

I also played a bit with the "Games and Apps settings" of TWL Menu++ (changing each setting at a time and always using nds-bootstrap 0.35.1) but I had no luck. None of the changes seemed to solve the issue.
