Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

How do fishing encounter slots in HG/SS work? I wanted to RNG a Gyarados using one of the Rods, but when I checked the Fishing Results section in RNG Reporter it was full of question marks. Here's a SS for reference:

My Question :
How to do RNG with Emulator ???
How to get my target seed ???
Do i need to do callibration step to get my delay and second ??? and
Do i still need Pikatimer to get target seed.
Any referensi to do rng with emulator ??
 
Ok i have another question. I caught my Shiny Latios and now im working on Latias. My problem is that i seem to be missing my delay by quite a bit.

I need to get 15:57:50

I put it one minute behind as the timer asks but Whenever i actually enter the game and check my seed it seems im way off.

I get something like 15:57:43

Im not sure why its doing this. I had no problems before. Can anyone help me?
 
Use +/-1 second (you shouldn't even need that). You're getting so far off because there is a string of responses that is identical to the 9 you put in but occurs earlier than the one you really hit.

Are you going for the roaming or stationary Lati bird? Because if you're trying to get the roaming bird, I know for a fact that if there's two or less roamers they'll appear on the same route every second with the same delay. For example, 19:49:49 with a delay of 1911 would have the roamers on the same route as 19:49:50 with a delay of 1911. At least that's what happened with me. I had to retry like 5 times because I'd hit my delay and they'd appear on the correct route, but I had the seconds off.
 
I was originally trying the roaming one but then i changed my mind.

Also I just caught it :D. Now I have 2 shinies of my favorite legendaries. Maybe I should try Rayquaza next :P

Thanks for all your help everyone :)

and you need a flash cart

Would this work on Mac? And I've got a flashcart, so that wouldn't be a problem. Are there any videos that show you? Because I don't see the option there. :(

Edit: Looks like I'll have to use Bootcamp when I want to transfer. D: Thanks, lOlpO.
 
First off a huge THANK YOU to the folks who figured out how to abuse the RNG so well!!! I am already greatly in your debt.

Secondly, a little help requested:
I have been successful at hatching shiny eggs with a few perfect IV's [my third success was a Magikarp who inheirited a perfect HP and Perfect Defense from a Gyarados parent and recieved a perfect speed random]. I had no issue understanding how to calibrate [got a constant frame 7, and was getting 15 seconds for time], and just needed patience to hit the right delay [always in a nice range just took over a dozen tries to hit the one I needed].

Basically, I understand the information that RNG is giving me, and as I am having success with eggs I wanted to try to capture a few pokemon with perfect IV's for use in breeding.

Here is where I want advice....
If I catch a Pokemon by using Sweet Sent, and find that I have not hit the delay I was looking for, is it possible to then look at the list of frames for that delay and just go for another set of IV's I like by advancing the frame using the journal? That is what I hoped was possible, but the results seem unpredictable... I am working in Pearl, on the southern zone of Route 210 [which only has one wandering NPC, who I used the VS. Seeker to disable].

I tried an experiment, caught one pokemon right away, checked it's IV's, then used sweet scent right away to catch another, without attempting to use the journal or walking. I checked IV's on this new one and compared the frame it came from. I found that the RNG had advanced over 70 frames. I repeated the experiment again, using the same time I had used the first time, this time the second capured Pokemon was over 100 frames away from the first one I caught.

I am using quick balls, then Ultra balls to capture the wild pokemon, but battles are usually going several rounds. I am curious, is the battle itself advancing the RNG, and if so, is there a way to predict from the battle how far the RNG advances?

I am not trying to capture Pokemon with all perfect IV's, but mostly ones with either two or three perfect that I can then use in breeding. Because of this, it seems that if I miss my delay on one, I can almost always find multiple IV spreads that would make me happy for breeding purposes within 50 or 100 frames. I am much less picky about the results of captured Pokemon because I am looking to breed for egg moves later down the road, and just want some Poke's with a couple stats to later pass on.

Is there a way to do what I am trying to do? Or is there something I may be missing in the process?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Ringo
 
OK so for Christmas I got a new DS Lite (my old DS Lite broke, but thats another story for another day). On my old DS when I would RNG my delays would normally be even in 2010 (without a GBA cart in). However, now they are all odd on the new DS. Is this normal?
 
Yeah, it's normal. If you put a GBA in then you'll get your usual even delays again. From what I've seen, original DSes get an even delay, DS Lites get an odd delay. Assuming no 3rd gen game, of course.

Edit: To Ringo, I would just confirm that you hit your delay using coin flips. You can compare the coin flips you have to the coin flips you should have. If they match, you hit your delay. That sounds a lot less complicated than what you're trying to do.
 
That is the only way unless you count changing the ID as different. I suppose if you already hit a seed you could see what's on each frame in the main window.
 
Hi In rng reporters pandoras box when using the seed finder what do i need to put as my min - max delay because i dont know mine.

Thanks
