Hi, I've been unsuccessful at RNG abusing after several attempts over the course of several months and I have no clue what's going wrong.I'm using version 9.96.6 Alpha. No matter what I've tried, I can't hit my seeds. Here's what I did on my most recent attempt. I'm using White 2 on a DS Lite.
1. Did RNG calibration using Unova Link method. Because I used a camera to record the arrow spins I can confirm that this isn't the issue. Took me three times to get this due mostly to human error.
2. Tried to abuse using that information for a perfect Ditto using a spread I found in Time Finder. I can't recall all of the exact details as this was last month, but I would start the game at the right time and then I would perform the amount of Chatot flips I needed via counting them out. This failed, decided to try for the Volcarona in the Relic Castle.
3. Made several attempts to abuse for the Volcarona using both Time Finder seeds and ones in the default search function. Since to my knowledge the initial frame a game starts on is one and that was the amount of frames required in the box, I tried a few times by clicking 'rona, and some times I did one Chatter. I did this quite a few times and never got it. Interestingly, in a lot of the attempts I was getting Volcarona with at least one perfect IV, but I've yet to get one with the full 31/0/31/31/31/31 that I've been looking for. If it helps I can provide a screenshot of at least one of the spreads I used.
I'm absolutely baffled as to what I'm doing wrong here. One thing that I've wondered is that my DS itself is broken and years ago the L button got glued down by accident during the efforts to fix it. To my knowledge, the button is defunct, as I've never really had any incidents during play that suggested the game thought it was being pressed, but maybe it's counting as a button press? Aside from that I have no clue what's going on. As I would really like to be able to RNG abuse in both BW/BW2 and the fourth gen games but have had no luck, I would really appreciate it if someone would help me get to the bottom of this. Also, as a side note, where would I be able to ask for help with the fourth gen games for RNG reporter?
