How does the E4 method for the Roamers in HG work exactly? I want to abuse my Latias, and I've got my Entei still roaming.
First off make sure you save one step before the auto-walking to Lance takes place. Then you must hit your delay and do your desired advances. If you only have 1 roamer like you mentioned then you need to download RadioSeed and use the track frame and confirm via the Serial Radio Drama Program, which plays everyday 1-2, 4-5, 7-8, 10-11(Both AM and PM. The other program (Pokemon Search Party) has never personally worked for me so I never even bother with it anymore. Then once you've confirmed, use the upper right program(Pokemon Talk) to advance 13-14 frames each time you click it. Remember to track your frame though(via Radio seed and Serial Drama). Then once you hit your desired frame, beat lance, restart, encounter your roamer catch in a masterball and confirm the IV's. If they don't match figure out why(1 too many frame advances, forgot to take in account Raikou also respawning etc) and then repeat if necessary.
Also "To advance frames with the radio, start from the middle (no shows running), then click the button for the appropriate corner. You have then have to drag the cursor back to the middle without touching any other stations. Here are a list of shows and the amount of frames they advance."
Hope it works out for you, I remember your spread was in the 600 range.
Is there any place where I can download RNGReporter 8 (for Windows)? Beta 9.75 crashes when I'm trying to find IV Gen Seeds for breeding. :/
// Edit: Nvm I found it. And it crashes too. Maybe I'll try it on another computer... :D
You need a pretty good computer to search large frame spreads. Mine which is fairly new takes a good minute to bring up a spread between 600-1000.
What can advance the frame in HGSS? Except Elm Call, I want to get Shiny Cyndaquil at the beggining.
If I remember correctly it is nearly impossible to do on a cart, but here is from earlier in the thread.
In HGSS you find a spread on frame 1, 5 or 9 depending on which starter you want. They will appear shiny when you go to select them. That's the only way you can confirm you hit the right seed. Else you have to use an AR to check the seed.
Don't forget those are Method 1 Spreads not Method K.
Also there is an NPC you can use to advance the frame but without an emulator it is very difficult to track what frame you are on.
Can you not advance the frame making elm calls when your trying to hit a frame for the roamers? Or does the phone not work in the elite four or something
The phone does not work in the champions room(Lances room) where you must do your advances. See what I posted above for Buckert.
