OK I'm almost there...
But I'm still n00bish to these things, because this is my first time doing so.

To make it short, say I saved my game facing Cobalion face to face.
My target delay is 1442, and my target time is 1:00:58.
In the EonTimer, the time for the first timer is 32:30, and the second timer is 25:69.
My question is, to make it simple, what will I do or what will I press if the first timer ends?
And how about for the second timer?

BTW, what does -95 mean under Calibration?

For the first timer, you soft reset the game (L + R + Start + Select). For the second, you turn the CGear on. This is done on the touch screen and you'll be hitting the yes on the confirmation screen.

The technical bit of the calibration is that it's just the amount of time (in delays) that your DS takes between the time it's soft reset and the time that the delay counter starts ticking. You don't really need to worry about changing it manually if you don't understand it. Just use the update box and it'll fix itself.

I'm trying to RNG capture a frillish on route 17 and I can't get any response from sweet scent. Is there anything I can do?

Frillish appears 100% of the time in Driftveil via surfing. Sweet scent works there.

Strange, I RNGed mine there too. No problems whatsoever. Are you surfing?

 

[MMX]

I figured it out. I had a no wild encounter code on.

 

[Cassie]

Does anyone know how much Sweet Scent advances PID on water?

 

[Princess Emily]

So what I do is when the first timer ends, I'll turn on the C-Gear...and when the second timer ends, I'll press the A button to "talk" to Cobalion, right?

Or am I doing it wrong?

The others covered most of the important points, but there's one thing that nobody mentioned that you really need to remember:

When you are first calibrating to hit your seed, you need to encounter that Cobalion immediately after turning on the C-Gear. You can't do any frame advancements beforehand or else RNG Reporter's Seed to Time won't find the IVs that you get. Once you have your timer calibrated, only then should you start making any frame advancements.

No, at the end of the second timer is when you turn on the C-Gear in-game (NOT at the Continue screen!!!!). At the end of the first timer is when you soft reset your game.

I tried to calibrate, but I always keep on getting "No IVs matched", no matter how high I extended the delay and seconds range :(
Why?

If not that, then set your range to +/-1000 delay and +/-9 seconds, and try again.

So, here's what you do:

Enter your target delay and seconds into Eon Timer. It will give you a Minutes before target number. Save in front of Cobalion, then quit the game. Set your DS calendar and Clock to your target date. Set the time to the target time less the minutes before Eon Timer gives.

So, on my game I'm aiming for a target time of 28/5/2011 4:58:59, a delay of 27,952. (Yes, ridiculously high...) In Eon timer, I enter 59 into the target seconds box, and 27952 into the target delay. It gives a value of 8 minutes before. I then set my DS clock to 28/5/2011 at 4:50. I press A to set the time at exactly the same time as setting off Eon timer. (So, the first countdown begins at the same time I set the clock).

I turn the DS off (to get out of the time set menu) and start the game up. I get into the game (making sure to select no when it asks if I want the C GEar on, and then yes I'm sure). As soon as the first timer ends, I soft reset (L+R+Start+Select). I now get into the game again (again choosing no and yes I'm sure). Then you click the power button on the bottom screen. It asks if I'm sure I want to turn C Gear on. I wait at this screen.

As soon as the second timer finishes, I press yes with the stylus. Then I talk to Cobalion and catch it straight away. I then work out Cobalion's IVs, using metalkid's calculator and a few rare candies. I then Generate and Search IVs on the Seed to Time screen. It should find which delay I hit. Make sure you search a sufficiently wide range of delays before clicking Generate. Then I enter the actual delay I hit into Eon Timer, and Update. The Calibration number changes to reflect my results.

You can repeat this process a few times if you want to, but it shouldn't be that necessary.

Now you're ready to actually RNG. This time, instead of catching Cobalion straight away, first do the necessary frame advances, then catch it. Then check to see if you hit what you wanted to. (If not, you can manually search for the IVs you got near your seed in RNG Reporter's main window.)

Hi guys,

So far I've RNGed Zoroark and Reshiram. Going for Victini soon. I'm not bothered about hidden power type for Victini and I found a spread that is on frame 3 which would be ideal to go for but the delay is 2482.

Are higher delays generally harder to hit or is there not really much of a difference in this..? Two previous delays for Zoro/ Resh were 1723 and 1838 which are obviously lower delays.

Just thought I'd ask before attempting to go for it.

They aren't any harder to hit really.. just take longer because of the length of time.

Does anyone happen to know the parameters of the desmume emulator with japanese (black)-.-? I can always find mine on the DS but not on the emulator

 

[Sherkel]

For C-Gear seeds, is the target time when you hit Yes (confirming to turn the C-Gear on,) about 7 seconds after you hit Yes (when the game loads, possibly when the seed's generated,) or when the game is loaded/SR'd (as I read somewhere)?

 

[Toast++]

When you hit yes.

 

[Sherkel]

When you hit yes.

Sorry, I think I didn't explain well enough. I got tired of using a timer, and I found that my "A-mash delay" was 1296. If I want to hit a target time with that delay, is it when I say Yes at the Continue screen, after, or at the loading/SR?

 

[13laze13oy]

sorry if this is a dumb question but I can technically rng the Victini right when I get to Liberty Island because I have the C-Gear right? Theres no roamers or anything and I believe thats all I need if im not mistaken.

Yep. You're good to go. Just might need to reset for nature.

Now I know what's the problem...
It seems that RNG Reporter 9 Beta 1 can't seem to find IVs in higher frames...
That's why I always got the "No IVs matched" error message :(

Anything to help me calibrate?
It's becoming hard and confusing @_@

You have to encounter immediately. That's all. That way, the IVs are set before they have a chance to advance.

 

[Sherkel]

Oh.. you're the button masher.. Sounds horrible to me but to each his own I guess.
the target time is still when you turn the cgear on though.

Would this be when I hit yes at the continue screen or a few seconds after when the overworld loads up?

 

[Toast++]

You don't turn it on at the continue screen. You turn it on in the game. It uses the second when you press yes (in game) to turn the CGear on.

 

[Sherkel]

You don't turn it on at the continue screen. You turn it on in the game. It uses the second when you press yes (in game) to turn the CGear on.

Okay, so let me just get this straight for myself:
It isn't known how turning it on at the continue screen affects seeds.
If I button mash, I have to quickly hit Power and Yes in-game and find a new "fast" delay.

 

[Princess Emily]

You have to encounter immediately. That's all. That way, the IVs are set before they have a chance to advance.

OK I get it.
But whenever I press on Yes, there's always that Warning message that will pop up.
Do I also have to press the touch screen quickly to remove it?
Does that Warning Message affect the RNG?

You should get that ready before the timer hits 0. It doesn't reseed until you hit yes on the warning screen.
