In game date problems

Hi, i've been playing on desmume for about a week now, specifically i'm playing Zelda Spirit Tracks and i stumbled upon a problem.
In Zelda ST, there is supposed to be a daily renewal, meaning that every IRL day things changes in the game (new items sold every day, lottery's result,etc).
The problem is that i seem to be stuck on the same day forever, since in a week not a single item has changed and my lottery result will NEVER come.
Ive tried to change windows date, since i know on ds it would work to advance date manually, but nothing has changed.
Am i stuck forever on the same day because i'm on emulator and therefore CANNOT access this part of the game, or is there PLEASE something i can do ?
Thanks for replies coming

DO NOT USE SAVESTATES; save in-game, close the emulator, change the system date, then open the game and load your save file. That should work.
