Can anyone explain to me what pandora's box is and how it makes shiny spreads?? I'm having the worse problem getting shiny flawless spreads. All I knew to do was use the IVs to PID section and get my SID. From there, I've been using wichu, using good ranges, but It returns very crappy spreads. Is there something else I should be doing?

there is a post by Wild Eep in the first page that explains it pretty much its a program that lets you control what ID/SID combo you get and that in turn will let you control your shiny spreads
 
Wait it says step one is to start the game over again. I've never done that before, but don't you have to save or automatically erase your old game?

well pandora's box is used to control your ID/SID combination and those are produced when you start a new game as in yeah delete your old one and completely starting over
 
OK.
I have a sassy Steelix egg,
I am aiming for flawless, with a 604 Delay, and 9 Frame.
I generally get somewhere from 595 to 612 delay,
so I don't know why it isn't working!

Check your date.

Something like this did happen to me once however with the right date. I still don't know what i did wrong.

(also my delay is 604 as well :P )
 
Ok in that case.... Is there any other way to get flawless spreads spreads other than deleting your game :)
sorry not really your shiny spreads are already predetermined with your ID/SID combo so all i can say is try for high delays I sometimes go into the 9000 delays looking for a good shiny spread so unfortunately your stuck with those shiny spreads for capturing pokes at least.
 
That's ok. I'll still have a successful stock of shiny rngs :). The most important thing is I'll be happy as the shinies are specific to what I want.
 
RNG Reporter isn't the best tool for flawless Emerald captures. Most of the flawless spreads appear millions of frames into the game, and RNG Reporter doesn't go that high. You should use PokeRNG to look for flawless Method 1 spreads. Bear in mind that even using accelerated frame advancement with VBA, it will still take days or months to reach some of the flawless spreads. It took Syberia like 4 months to reach the flawless timid HP fire spread for his Latias.

Ah, I see now. Thanks.
 
I'm in the process of SRing for my first IV spread, and I can't for the life of me get the correct delay. I can get the correct seconds / frames easily, but I always seem to stop 5 delay ahead of where I need to be. I've tried using Emloop, but I still can't seem to get it right. Are there any tricks to hitting the correct delay, or should I shoot for a different one?
 
can someone help me out please? for some reason i can't hit my delay (81) i always land on 80, and i wait a LOT before talking to the person. If I go fast, I hit 80, slow and I still hit 80. It's hard enough to hit my delay with this BP, but I have twice, but always landed on freakin 80

Insert (or remove) a 3rd gen game (fire red, leaf green, ruby, sapphire, emerald) and you should get odd delays.


I have a question. Does the first page of the journal (when you first open it) sometimes advance the frame differently?

@Columbus Rayburn: I'd recommend using the delay that you can hit. That's the point of calibration.

@Alsabino: If you don't have a 3rd gen game, or are using a DSi, you could also set the year back by one to get the target delay to be even.

@All4Game: Nope, the first page of the journal behaves like every other page.

Change your year so the target delay is 5 ahead of what you're going for at the moment.

Hitting delays is hard. My success rate is something like 5-10%.
 
Going for Beldum (pokeradar)
I'm on Actual frame 418 for the one I caught.
Now i have a question. Am I going for the Actual frame for the spreads I want, or the regular Frame?

edit: Figured it out. it's regular. XD
 
Thanks, Cantab and For54years! I just got my first RNG'd!

Edit: This is odd. My coin flips, seed, delay, and time matched my target perfectly, but the IVs aren't what I generated. I'm supposed to have 28/B/20/31/31/B (HP Electric), but its characteristic is 'Likes to Fight' and it has HP Fighting. My first thought was that I put the parents in in the wrong order, because parent A has an attack value that corresponds to 'Likes to Fight,' but wouldn't the 31s override that?

You landed on the wrong frame. This happens a lot while breeding, because of the NPCs in Solaceon Town advancing the frame. See the guide on hatching perfect eggs.

Figure out what frame you DID land on, then search for a frame with the same number (i.e. frame 6) that gets you the IVs you want.
 
oh wow. i meant frame* sry for confusion. it makes more sense nao

can someone help me out please? for some reason i can't hit my frame* (81) i always land on 80, and i wait a LOT before talking to the person. If I go fast, I hit 80, slow and I still hit 80. It's hard enough to hit my delay with this BP, and I have only twice, but both time i landed on freakin 80
 
If you need to add one to your frame you can release cresselia or mesprit onto the map. If you can't, you can release the three birds and do one less journal flip, that will still add one.
 
I don't mean to be a bother, but every time I try and open the RNGreporter on my comp it says:
"Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Configuration system failed to intialize."

Both Continue and Quit cause it to crash, making it have to shut off by task manager.

Has anyone else bumped into this? There is a details box from the window that pops up I could post if that would help.

I suffered from the same thing, I did the quite extreme thing in fixing it by backing everything up and doing a system restore. I think it may because of a file in the registry that got deleted or something like that but im not quite sure. Sorry cant help any furher but i reboot for what I know will definately do the job.
 
None of that is necessary.

This happens when ALL of the files that are in the zip file are not unzipped into the same directory where the program is run. Namely the rngreporter.exe.config file.
 
Don't know what to tell you, then. Perhaps delete it and replace it with the one from the zip file to be 100% sure. I seem to remember someone doing that and it working once.
 
I've done that serval times. I've even deleted it off my machine and re-downloaded. Still nothing.

This has happened to be before, although all the other times, It's magically fixed itself.
