I'm trying to abuse my ID in Platinum.
id obtained 16352
month 12
day 27
year 2011
hour 21
min 00
min delay 6200
max 6400
and my target delay is 6358
seed I want: 6a1518e1
desired ID: 27772
desired PID for shiny: 46f43bca
Seed finder (pandora's box, gen V is what I'm told to use, but IV won't work either) won't work for me.
Increase your delay range and you'll find a result (I entered the info you gave me except made the range 6100 to 6800 and got a result). With ID/SID abuse, you're most likely going to be way off your target delay on your first try, even if you already calibrated for captures or breeding. So you'll need to update your timer and use a diff. calibrated delay. I'm just speaking from personal experience, though. I'm not sure if it's the same for everyone.
Anyways, when I made the delay range wider and entered all your info, I got a result. By any chance, is your target second 38 (or close to that)? It says you hit delay 6520 and you hit the second 38.
So you were about 200 off... that's a pretty wide gap :/ Are you sure you're pressing A at the right time when you're attempting to hit your delay? If you are, then try updating with that delay, or try hitting your delay again and see if you get a different result.
