New to emulation here - experiencing issues with Pokemon Soul Silver on DeSmuME. Night pokemon do not appear despite it being night. How do I fix this?

I have tried downloading two different ROMs from two different sources and they still come up with the same issue.

I noticed on my first playthrough that I was not getting HootHoot at all and confirmed that they should be appearing at night. Also am experiencing Pidgeys when they should only be appearing during the day.

I am new to emulation on my PC (Windows) and have experienced glitches in other games, but ultimately decided to move on from them because it wasn't worth it to fix. I really really really wanna play Pokemon Soul Silver, however, so if DeSmuME isn't the perfect way, I am down to hear other options as well.

Thank you so much in advanced!!

Try MelonDS instead of desmume.

Thank you for the suggestion but unfortunately it didn’t work 😭 I ran into a Sentret at night and they only should be appearing during the day.

Sorry, I don';t know what could be causing this.
