Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

Hey could someone help me on hitting my target frames? The frame I'm trying to hit is 606 but every time I try, I hit around 590-600. I've managed to RNG for 3 shiny eggs using the finder and then today I suddenly can't hit my target anymore.

Frame or delay? If it's frame you just need to keep better track of your advances or find a seed with a lower target frame, can't really help you with that. If you mean delay, then get EonTimer, put all your info into it, then if you miss your delay put what you hit into the bottom field and click Update.

You should use eontimer when dealing with high delays / any delay really, that guide is a little outdated.

I'm sure EonTimer is far more sophisticated than Emloop but my issue seems to be with RNGReporter more than anything. I think I understand how to use Emloop well enough (I have no issues with it when RNGing on Emerald) but for whatever reason I can't figure out how far off my delay is.

I can find my calibrated delay (i.e. mashing through the intro to load the savefile ASAP) using high level wild Pokemon without any issue. But when I attempt to use a high delay, the seed finder keeps giving me error messages about "no reasonable initial seed found". Can't quite figure out what the problem is, which is frustrating because I remember being able to do this 2 years ago. :[
 
You're still doing it the old way, you don't need to find your calibrated delay manually or do anything with high level Pokémon. Switch to EonTimer, trust me, it's a lot easier.

What version of RNG Reporter are you using?
 
If I understand correctly, the "Find SID via the Department Store Lottery" trick only works on HG/SS, meaning that there is no way to find my SID in D/P/Pt without an existing shiny caught in my game, an external device / PokéCheck, or chaining shinies, correct?
 
What are the effects of dry internal battery in Ruby and Sapphire? Someone told me it has an effect on Trainer's Eyes and the battles won't pop up as often. This would be a disaster since I'm doing a Nuzlocke run in dried-out Ruby right now, so I hope it's not true.

Sorry if this is a wrong place to ask.

The seeding process for the PRNG always uses Jan 1, 2000 at midnight as the date, yielding a seed of 5A0 every time. And of course, all timed events do not happen.
 
Can you RNG for Soulsilver with a 3DS because I keep getting elm responses that aren't found. It might be a completely different problem though..
 
Okay, I am trying to ID Abuse but I am confused as when I search for the wrong ID that I hit, I get two results both at different delays and seconds.
I am using the RNG Reporter from Everstone's RNG Guide.
 
I followed Everstones guide to the letter but I'm still getting elm responses that cant be found I've even tried setting the adjusted delay to 50 but it still doesn't find it, is there any explanation for this?

Well for starters, don't look into the timer, just look at your DS and press A as soon as you hear the last beep.
I tried hitting a delay of 5375 for my Ho-oh and i succeeded because I did this and had my calibration done correctly.
Also, definitely try Roamers for Seed Verification as they speed up the work significantly.

Likely you're looking for the one that is closer in seconds to what you were aiming for. You may have to subtract a few seconds from your target second to hit the right thing for ID abuse.
 
There is an extremely small difference in the amount of video frames displayed per second. DS actually runs GBA games very slightly slower than a GBA does. Since the PRNG is tied to video frames... yeah.

After 7 elm calls would that be frame 7 or 8

If you did 7 Elm calls you would hit frame 8, assuming there are no wandering NPCs and you have no active roamers. But you can also just compare the calls you get to the frames to see which one you're on.
