The concept itself is pretty easy, but also easy to mess up.
Before we begin this, I would like to say that I am not responsible if you decide to try this out, especially for those of you using the real game and have no way to back up your save files.
With that out of the way, let's start with how the clock in game works.
The in game clock is linked (in other words, the same) with the DS clock, unless if you decided to change the time when the game started.
Now assuming that the game clock IS the same as the DS clock, any date and time modifications done to the ds clock, will affect the in-game clock.
-In here, I only mess with the DS clock, is much easier to do this and easier to not screw it up, if you choose to go with modifying the in game clock, you are on your own.-
If you mess with it (the DS clock) by going way ahead in time, then decide to come back, you will have lost most of the stuff you have seen, except for maybe some events and dates, not to mention an angry if not skull-ed(yes it can go down to the skull face) GF.
Keep doing this and ignoring her and it will go into a fight, but since I said about it in another thread I won't say anymore than this.
Now, thankfully, even though the clocks are linked, they are only effective if you access said file.
For someone that has all three girls this is actually a good thing.
-This uses the trip as an example, but as long as you don't save you can use it for anything, again, the key is to not save. However since you turned the game off without saving, there is a chance that the could be mad.-
Before going to the example, write down the time that the trip started and ended, and if you already started with the other files, the last time you accessed them.
Let's look at this example.
Trip with one girl, no trip with the other two, but date has been set at the same time for those two.
Due to the nature of the trip and possibility to miss events, people will most likely stay in trip mode and check back to the others only after its done.
This will of course cause you to lose some points with the other two girls.
One way around this is the 'time travel'.
Assuming you are done the trip with that girl, back up the file and change back the date and clock to any desired time, any time that was after the last time you went in the file of the other two girls.
(For the sake of making things easier, let's do this, you went to the trip with Rinko and have a date at the same time with Manaka and Nene.
Also since the trip starts on a saturday, I will be assuming that the last time you accessed Nene and Manaka is friday night, bringing you to a date of saturday.)
Now, ignore Rinko and Manaka and go directly into the Nene file.
If you did things right, you should be on the morning of satuday (If not copy the backup save and do it again, because maybe you forgot the save the clock or change the calendar).
Now spend your day with Nene and you can also skip time here, or go directly into night by changing the clock, because dates, unless if is a holiday is sunday only).
Do the same thing with Manaka after turning back the clock.
(You can do both Nene and Manaka at the same time if you plan on time skipping by the hour or every three hours, is easier that way).
Now since you made it to sunday, you have two dates, choose whichever one first, my case Nene, and have the date with her.
Save, backup, change time and go with Manaka.
Do not touch the other two girls, and be careful about choosing, because the icon might have changed to another character, make sure you are on the file you are supposed to be.
In my case, I had Nene as default all the time due to the trip when I changed back the clock, so I had to choose the other one to not screw it up.
Now once all dates are over and the day is over, go to any time AFTER the trip with Rinko.
-This of course is assuming that you haven't gone farther in time with any of the other two files. Otherwise change the time to the girl you went farther in time with-
This way all of them should be happy enough and you did two days worth in a few hours without making anyone mad.
(Except maybe you because you probably lost your sanity a bit since you did quite a bit of turning off the game, changing time, going into the game, if that didn't work, backing up, re-doing it, trying to get the time right....)
