Ok, I rented Pokemon Gold when I was a kid, but never finished it, so I'd like to make up for it by either playing Pokemon Gold or Crystal (assuming Crystal is just the Yellow as Red and Blue is to Gold and Silver), but I was curious as to how the clock is going to function properly. Is there a feature in Rin that relays the actual time to the rom, like on PC emus, or is it just going to always be wrong since it's based on an internal battery. Do I need some kind of hacked version of this rom to allow me to change the time every time I start playing, or is there a possibility of Homer adding real-time support to Rin?

**PSPRoX** · 02-25-2006, 10:06 AM

Um i think homers rin has time support. regular rin has it.

**mystikalflip** · 02-25-2006, 10:16 AM

i play pokemon gold and i have had no problems with the clock, except i just dont know how to change the time for daylight savings.

**SimplyTheBest** · 02-25-2006, 10:28 AM

Yup, homer's RIN has time support for pokemon!

Awesome. Now, which one would you reccomend before I get started, Crystal or Gold? I've already played half of Gold, so I'm familiar with it and it's nostalgic for me, but if Crystal has any better features or a better selection of Pokemon, I'd like to go on with it instead.

**PSPRoX** · 02-25-2006, 11:38 AM

Im play crystal, I cant find any differences tho, i played both gold/silver and crystalis like just about the same

**DrStrange** · 02-25-2006, 01:21 PM

Golds my fav pokemon game, in crystal the main difference i think is just that you can now be a girl, otherwise its the same thing

**Hugh** · 02-25-2006, 01:41 PM

I like the way you said you rented it when you were a kid like it was 10+ years ago. Good cover... A few years ago hardly counts towards nostalgia.

**SimplyTheBest** · 02-25-2006, 01:59 PM

Im a girl named Death in Crystal, crystal has all the pokemon from both Gold and silver in it, and there is a slightly different storyline with the legendary pokemon, your after the dogs instead of the birds. Crystal is better, but I'm playing yellow right now!

Hardrive · 02-25-2006, 02:02 PM

crystal like yellow version without pikachu (its gold + silver kinda thrown together)
AND
u can be a girl lol

**Jay C** · 02-25-2006, 09:12 PM

Ok, I did some looking around and found out the main differences between Gold and Crystal, and while I think just knowing I was playing Gold again would have been slightly more satisfying, I'm pretty sure I'll get over it, because this game has ALL the pokemon from Gold and Silver, and an opportunity to catch Suicune that isn't in the other two.

**chaoskingz** · 02-26-2006, 06:26 AM

i never really got into pokemon after yellow version, once all the pokemon changed i didn't know any of them so i didn't play it :'( so you'd recommend playing crystal? ill give it ago too.

Do the games lag under emulation in PSP? Or are they almost real-time??

nope they run full speed

**Hobz** · 03-01-2006, 03:26 PM

is the time fix supposed to be automatic or is it in the menu? i have been playing and so far the time has been wrong every time (except for the first time of course)

**Captain Bodymod** · 03-01-2006, 03:29 PM

I play crystel, ran well on Homers RIN.

**Hobz** · 03-01-2006, 03:44 PM

any tips? i tried saving the normal way, but that hasnt worked, my game still thinks that it is 3:20 on a monday

**NickyP** · 03-01-2006, 05:54 PM

I don`t have homer`s rin, I have an older one. But it keeps time on it (Pokemon Crystal) just fine

When I play at 10 pm on Friday its 10 pm on Friday in the game. I never had a problem with it. I did notice tho that if you changed the time and date on the PSP it`d change it on the ROM too. Great for makin Togetic.

Keeps time just fine on mine. Its the exact same as the time in my home menu every time I check.

**spvn** · 03-01-2006, 10:06 PM

i juz play silver... dont really bother about "Gotta catch them all!!!"

**Hobz** · 03-01-2006, 11:16 PM

hmm, could it be because i am on 2.6? i noticed that a lot of you guys seem to be on earlier firmware.

**ps2mad2k2** · 03-02-2006, 04:30 AM

Im having no problems with the clock and im on 2.5 using homers rin 3.2

You'd think that a high-tech modern PSP would be able to emulate a crappy little GBC in real time...

**guyincognito** · 03-19-2006, 02:51 AM

well the only differences in crystal that i noe are:
suicune doesnt run away (yay!)
Ice path is different
the storyline is a bit modified, like when u catch ho oh and lugia
