This RTC fix has the side effect of causing lumabug.

The database for ~~playcoins~~, <code>gamecoin.dat</code>, stores the date of your last earned ~~playcoin~~ as an RTC date. When you earn a ~~playcoin~~ for the first time after fixing the RTC, a gap of (usually) ~22 years is created when the 3DS stores the new ~~playcoin~~'s date. When the system is next powered on after this, it detects the gap and starts listing every single date up to the new ~~playcoin~~'s date.

When the system is next powered on after this, it detects the gap and starts listing every single date up to the new Play Coin's date.

This causes the system to need several minutes to boot.

If you leave your 3DS idle for multiple years, then get a ~~playcoin~~, this same issue can happen on stock firmware. However, it will take less time to boot, as there are fewer dates to list than the full 22 years caused by an RTC fix.
