Since this will be my first capture on HGSS around what frames should I search? Also if someone could elaborate on encounter slots that'd be great :)
I usually try for around 12. It's enough to make sure I can verify my seed even if it gets advanced a couple times before I get to the menu.
Someone else will have to respond to the second part though since I haven't used them.

I believe you can do it, from what I hear it is harder though. (Ninja'd my edit GASP!)
@Exie
Don't think so. You'll just have to try for a higher delay. If it really takes longer, it may be because it has more to load now, just a guess.
