The target time is at continue. And there is no way you have 28 delay. Delay is a counter that runs approximately 60 times per second when the game begins loading. Something is not right at all here. Redo calibration.
could someone please see if i got this right or not?
thanks much in advance
edit: my questions would be:
a) Do I set my DS to the date given in the time finder and try and hit the time as I press Continue AS SOON as i get saved on the correct egg nature
b) Do I set my DS to the date and time blahblah continue blah AFTER I check the frame I saved on?
What does delay mean? Does it have any imprtancy?
Also, if continue is the target time, well, I have fast fingers...
It works. :) That's great.
Delay is the second and millasecond between starting the game and pressing A on the continue screen multiplied by 60. Example if my delay is 635, the seconds and millasecond between starting the game and entering the continue screen is 10.58
But it's a bit hard to hit miliseconds, is that why the coin-flipping method is used?
Maybe you should try doing it instead of complaining and asking the same question over. The coin flipping method is to verify you hit your delay / seed.
OK, I ran a new search with all the needed info; let's give ita shot. Thanks for all!
@Mingot: I have an unusual request. Can a future version of the RNG reporter have an option to find specific PID's for a seed? (I.E you know about a shiny PID on one game, but need to know how to get an egg with that PID on another game.)
I ask this because I noticed the PID's dont let you use any normal method to get an egg for another cartidge. Well, you get the egg, but nothing about it is correct. I tested this thoroughly when I got my new platinum, as I wanted to train a shiny ralts through story instead of a starter. (Damn the pokemon not listening to me =P) Got there after a LOT of hassle, and was wondering if a simple option to search for a PID might be possible? Especially if you can search within a seed.
I actually found the problem very vexing. To get the egg you need to catch your pokemon, and check the seed. Then you have to have a second RNG reporter window open with the other games ID/SID, and generate your search list with the seed you have. You then find the shiny you want and find its PID. You then go back to the original RNG reporter window, generate the list there too (without checking the shiny only box) and then proceed to look for the PID... Which then usually needs an insane amount of taps/flips.
It would be nice to simplify this.
Just something for the wishlist.

I don't understand the request for that. Why would you want to get the same PID on two different games when on the second game it won't be shiny.
Also, I think you are talking about the shiny egg glitch. Where the egg is shiny but when you trade it, it is no longer shiny after hatching. To trade an egg and have it be shiny, do the search for the shiny frames for the platinum game and get it on your diamond, then trade the egg over.

The only app you have to worry about is the happiness checker. If you hit that, you will get messed up. If you need to get past it, load it quickly so that the app number shows without it loading.
No, I am saying I have figured out the real way to ensure a traded shiny egg IS shiny on the recieving end, and your method (just performing the taps and flips as if for the other ID/SID) does not work. Its all based around the eggs PID, and I tested and retested. Your method is fundementally flawed in the fact that all PID's would have to be under the same frames in the same seeds on every game, which, quite obviously, they are not.
Really, go try it yourself. It's all in the PID. (Tested, and retested by me. Dont believe me? Test it yourself. The PID's change completely from game to game - for eggs at least. I made no errors, and even did a test with a file using pokesav. When I changed the sav'ed games ID/SID to the target ID/SID and made an egg the usual way, it had the correct PID, and once traded, remained shiny inside the egg. The same taps and flips on that game with a different ID/SID yielded a completely different end result.)
It took a long time to pinpoint the issues, and I am not going to argue over somantics. The method you NEED to use (no question) is the one I posted above. I highly doubt that can be simplified any further either, but I would be happy if it was possible to simplify it. Mingot could use this information to add to the RNG reporter though, and make it easy.
The only thing with that though, is that it creates more work for Mingot. =(
Hey in the bearsfan IV abuse video he said this formula
Frame you always hit - Frame you are going for/2 to get the Journal Flips you have to do
The problem I have is that i always get a frame of 3 which is odd so if i want to go for a frame of 40 my result would be 18.5 so do i do 19 flips or 18???
Thanks in advance!

Nevermind, I have an even-numbered frame number (256).
I believe walking 128 steps advances the frame by the number of pokemon in your party. So, if you wanted to go for the frame in the example do 16 flips and walk 128 steps with 5 pokemon in your party.
When catching a pokemon like cresselia you have to subtact the # of wandering pokemon. So, does this mean you still have to subtract 1 for pokemon like mesprit still waiting in the cave? And just to make sure the only wandering pokemon are cresselia, mesprit, articuno, motres, and zapdos, right?
Thanks in advanced.
Hey, I've heard that LF and Arael managed to crack the Pokeradar RNG, may I know how it works? I don't see any information on catching Pokeradar Pokemon in the 4th post.
I'm trying to abuse for an egg whit the right IVs.
So i start the game, do the flips, pick the egg.
Then this are the coin flips i get if i hit the right delay? http://i25.tinypic.com/15d5u7n.jpg
