This question has been bugging me over a year, but I still haven't asked.
As you know Nintendogs has some tasks that you can do only three times a day. And changing the RTC settings won't bypass it. So ... how did they do it?
I guess it's a simple solution, I just can't think of one ... :/

just a guess;
theres some sort of counter or flag in the firmware somewhere
save game saves the last value the counter/flag was at
when save game is loaded it compares the values, if they're different the time has been changed so it locks all the features until the next 24 hours.

Same thing is integrated into Pokemon Pearl and Diamond if you want to migrate something...

The difference in seconds between the old time and the new time is stored as RTC Offset in the firmware user settings. Perhaps if you set the time back by the exact same amount each time you did it, the game wouldn't notice.

Ah, the old Animal Crossing "time traveling" debate. Let's please not turn this into a flamewar.

I'm sorry? I'm not looking for a way to bypass Nintendogs' system, I'm just curious how it works ... chishm obviously has the right answer. :)
