By checking the change log, I think real time clock is supported for pokemon gold/silver/crystal, but it seems not working, or I just miss something.

I remember when playing on pc with some emulator, whenever I open the game, the in-game time would be the same as my pc's clock time. However, on vgbanext, I closed the game at night and opened it the next morning, the in-game time remained the same, not updating to morning.

I would like to ask does vgbanext support RTC or I have to enable it somewhere? I've checked SETTINGS, but it seems to have nothing relating to RTC.

Thank you.

If I remember correctly, it happens because gameplay state saves (*.sta, *.frz) also save the current time, so the next time you load them, the clock will continue from where you save them.

Yes, I understand, so I didn't use the freeze and disable the Save Emulation State. Only in gmae save is used. Therefore, no .sta and .frz is created.
Despite these, the game runs as you mentioned, it continues from where I save them.
RTC is important to some pokemon games, because specific monsters can onny be met at night or day.
Is it possible for vgbanext to retrieve clock time from the phone?

BTW, what information does the .sta sotre? Do I need to keep it?
I also see .gqs and .config, how about these two files?
