Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

Has any one had problems when trying to migrate Pokémon from Emerald to DPPt, after downloading your save file to the computer, and restoring it back to your cartridge?

In my case it keeps saying: ''A full day hasn't passed etc..''

I haven't migrated Pokémon for at least a week so yeah, the sentence is wrong actually.
 
Some general questions about HGSS:

1. I've heard that it's possible to discover your SID if you know your TID and the exact time that your game started, but I haven't found anything confirming this or any explanation on how to do it. Is this true?

2. If not-- I'm trying to manipulate my TID in HGSS (just to know my SID from the start), but the delay in ID Finder doesn't match the delay I get from RNG Reporter's Seed To Time-- it's always exactly ten more than what RNG reporter thinks the delay should be. Which delay should I shoot for?

3. Also, how do I recalibrate the counter in Emloop? The default counter speed used in the guide doesn't match my DS' delays (Emloop always gets through the second timer before my game even loads). I'm not sure what to change on the screen because, well, I can't read anything, haha.

My thanks in advance! Sorry if they're silly questions, I'm a bit of a newbie.
 
Here's some information that may be useful to anyone who's trying to RNG their ID/SID in HG/SS:

The fastest I could get through the opening of the game (from soft reset until the point where you can dismiss Oak's final message and enter the game world) was 1:07.540, which translates to a delay of 4052. This is when I named myself "A," so you'll probably have to allot a bit more time to name yourself.
 
When RNGing for my ID/SID on HG/SS, what would you recommend I use as my "calibrated delay" and "calibrated second" in PikaTimer?

EDIT: So the first timer should still be from sync until SR, and the second one should be from SR until I dismiss the last message in the opening to enter the game world, correct?

Please help, I'd really like to get started! Thanks :)
 
Using savestates, and the NPC movements from New Bark Town. The secret is saving outside of Elm's lab, and reset from there until you hit your seed.
 
I'm trying to RNG my ID/SID on my new HeartGold, and have a few questions. I believe that if I DON'T hit my seed, I use the right column of Pandora's Box to see what seed I did get (and to adjust my timing accordingly), correct? If so, regarding that right-hand column, would "Minute" be the minutes on the DS clock when I SR or when I dismiss Oak's "I'll see you later" message?
 
Savestates as in Cyclo DS savestates. I'm waiting for my Original Heart Gold to arrive, but I'll probably dump the original game into a Rom, and use the Rom in my Cyclo DS to be able to abuse RNG as I did with the japanese game.

ALL the values you should input are from the moment you dismiss the "See you later" message.
 
I see from the HG/SS RNG topic that the only way to change from even to odd delays and vice versa is to scroll down to the second page of options on the Continue screen. Does this mean that if I continuously hit odd delays when trying to RNG for my ID/SID, I simply will not be able to get an ID/SID that requires an even delay (without changing the year to make it odd)?

Do I really have to have pure odd/pure even delay range?

No, but it makes things a bit easier. Imagine if you only hit the odds from 621-629. That's 5 possibilities. Now imagine if you hit both evens and odds in that same range. That's 9 possibilities in the same delay range. If you get both evens and odds, you might want to make sure your delay range isn't very large.

Is there any central location to find info. on manipulating HGSS RNG? Can anyone point me to a thread...?

Bottom of last page.

Also, does anyone have an AR code for IVs in HGSS? If I end up not being able to RNG my starter, I'd like to be able to get decent IVs at least and a code to see them would be nice.
 
Is there a newer version of the ID/SID finder? Mine won't work with the seed finder for whatever reason, which i need since I don't have an SID check code. Please reply soon, since I would like to start playing soon.

Which version do you have/what do you mean by "won't work"?

I DID break the seed finder on version 0.1.2. I fixed this in version 0.2 (the current version) in November.
 
It gave a pop-up error saying that your string conversion was incorrect. It also said it was supposed to multiply an integer and a string. I just deleted and re-downloaded and it works now. I tried to save over it about 4 days ago, but it still didn't work. I guess it just had to be deleted.
