Save file with PlayedMaximum set to False doesn't let the game continue after maxing out the game time


Recommended Posts

Hi there!
I've bought 2MB, 32KB FRAM MBC3 with RTC Flash Cartridge by HDR + GB Operator in hopes of bypassing the maxed out time on my Japanese Pokemon Yellow original cartridge to at least finish the game on an emulator.
I've extracted the game file and saves with GB Operator's tool.
Then i proceeded to modify the savefile the following way:

1. Opened the save file in the latest (24.07.27) version of PKHeX.
2. Verified checksums and Pokemon.
3. Proceeded to 'Block Data' menu.
4. Changed 'PlayedMaximum' from 'True' to 'False'.
5. Saved the changes via 'Export SAV'.
6. Opened GB Operator's tool again and uploaded the edited savegame onto the flash cartridge with the original game file already on it.

Upon loading into the game, i try changing my location and the game freezes as it did before due to time being maxed out.
I've also tried changing PlayedHous/Minutes/Seconds to other values but they seem to be always overriden by the game too.

Is there any other workaround for this or the only way is to restart the game from scratch?

Thank you in advance to anyone who will be reading this.
