I recently abused two IDs/SIDs on SS. I pressed A one second before the end of the second timer, because the ID/SID is generated when you minimize, not when you press A on the last sentence. However, by doing that, I always landed two seconds more than my target (My target was 14, I landed on 16). So I just adjusted the timer to make my target 12.I got a quick question on ID/SID abuse in both Soul Silver and Platinum.
At the end of the second timer do you press A right at the last sentence before you minimize?
Idk if it would be different for you, because I was using an AR to check my SID (And I always use an AR when trying to hit my seed). I hope this helped :)
@GlassCandle: Sorry, I have no idea why. You might want to get someone to check your SID via AR just to be sure it's correct.
