Sorry :( Maybe you could try resetting the timer? Sometimes when I hit updates several times, I feel like it gets confused. I guess you could try resetting and then typing in your calibration numbers or recalibrating. Sorry, I'm really not sure (I've never done it before) :/

I only hit update once, but I still may try that. The only thing holding me back is that I currently have an Adamant 24/21/22/x/30/29 one from my last attempt (I'm going for Adamant/Jolly for Extreme Killer or Timid for Ghost/Rock/Dark). I figure it's probably a toss, but with the lack of Synchronize to aid with the nature, I wasn't sure (I posted about it in the Wifi SQSA thread).

Yeah I saw your post from before. That's pretty good imo, but I'm not has hardcore at SRing as most other people are here XD. Out of curiosity, did you try SRing at the end of the first timer? And are you still just going for IVs?

Me neither as far as SRing goes, lol. I figure I'll take the advice of rufusdrumknott and toss it, and give RNG one last try. I haven't tried SRing after the first timer expired, but I'll give that a try too. Yes, I'm still just going for IVs. When I changed seeds, I hit a delay of 9083 (target: 8903) and a seconds value of 41 (target: 40), so I put both of those into EonTimer and clicked update, and since then, nothing I've gotten is listed in RNG Reporter.

I think I may have stumbled upon a problem. According to Rona's guide, you adjust the value in the EL Calibration box manually if you don't hit the right second, and only once you're getting the right second do you worry about delays. When I inputted both my delay hit and seconds hit, it changed the second timer by a whopping 10 seconds. I'll try it her way and see how it goes!

When you put in the seconds that you actually got, how much did it change the EL Calibration from the suggested 296? I mean, being more than 9 seconds off would cause you to not find anything. Maybe you can try starting over (as awful as that sounds XD) to make sure you still get something, or updating the time and delay separately. I'm just trying to come up with anything at this point lol

Aha! That's got to be something. That's kinda where I was going with how much did it change the EL Calibration (maybe it went wonky). Good idea. I wonder if updating them separately would do the same thing, but def go with the guide first! Good luck!

Yeah, it raised it by a few hundred (I didn't take note of exactly how many and don't want to go back and mess up my timer now). After my manual adjustment, I got another spread actually found in Reporter, and with the proper seconds too. When I input my delay hit, though, it shaved 2 seconds off of the second timer to where I'm now getting around the correct delay but 2 seconds off! Lol... I'll play with it more tomorrow. I think the adjustment from inputting the delay is supposed to come in the first Calibration field, like it does in Rona's guide, but for me, it's occurring in the EL Calibration one.

Thanks!

haha I understand. Yeah a few hundred is way to much (it should have been about 60). I feel like you're a lot closer now :) Make sure you take a screenshot or write down the numbers or something lol. I'm sure you'll get it tomorrow...just a matter of playing with the values.

You're welcome (although I'm pretty sure you figured out all that yourself :P)

After trying gradually increasing numbers in the Calibration field (no formula for manual adjustment), I finally got to where I was 3 shy of my target delay (and on the right second). That means tomorrow is nature day! lol :)

Congrats! I'm glad it's starting to work out :) Hopefully the natures won't be too much trouble lol. Let me know how it goes! ^_^

Having trouble with the nature, as expected. Do you remember exactly what it was that you heard was wrong with the Entralink+ mode?

It wasn't specific. Someone was having trouble hitting the nature, and PoJ concluded that there might be something wrong with Entralink+. Here's the post:

Ah, so that's the same post you told me about with the method of using 2 EonTimers. I think I may have experienced some trouble with it myself. When I input the frame of my first Jolly frame (from the cluster of 4) into the Target Advances field, the 3rd timer doesn't equal the time that RNG Reporter gives; EonTimer is 4 seconds shorter. Using the Actual Advances field and clicking Update got me nowhere (but it's hard when there's frames of the same nature shortly above and below your target frame :/), so I had to, again, manually adjust the Frame Calibration field until my 3rd timer became what it should be according to RNG Reporter (which took a value of 4000). I'll give it a try tomorrow.

Yeah that happened to be the same post. Entralink+ mode doesn't really come up anywhere else. Maybe it doesn't equal the right time because of your calibration values? So if you put in 0 for your calibration, maybe it would give you the exact time. But obviously your values need to be whatever gets you your target. Good luck! I *know* you'll get it ^_^

Looks like my trouble with the natures stems from me not hitting my target standard seed second. I'm hitting 11 seconds when I'm supposed to be hitting 12. I'm still hitting the right C-Gear second and near my delay, though, so I'm not sure how to adjust EonTimer without messing those up. Any ideas?

Well, the FAQ in the PPRNG guide says to change the Seconds Adjustment field and to pick a new seed. We don't have access to that, but it seems like you may have to still find a new seed (in the Entralink Seed Search menu). I changed the "Delay Calibration" field in that window to 60, and it seemed to change the time delta between the Standard and C-gear seeds by 1. So maybe if you play with that field and pick a new seed, you won't have to change your timer (with the exception of the target seconds). I'm not sure if that field changes anything else though.

Thanks! I did exactly that, and hit 1 off of my target delay, the correct second for my C-Gear seed, and the correct second for my standard seed!

Wow, that's great!! I'm glad that worked ^_^ You couldn't get any closer! XD

Hate to say it, but I think I'm about ready to give up, even though I'd really hate to do that after all the help you've given me. I just can't find my cluster with the timer, even after countless adjustments and changing seeds again. After days of trying, I've only gotten Jolly once, and I believe I've only hit my delay once as well (twice as hard as in Pt/HG/SS because you get both odd and even in B/W). It just doesn't like me, lol. The sad part is, I had a flawless Adamant Arceus (which is apparently just as good for the Extreme Killer set) on my Platinum, along with tons of other great Pokémon, but all of a sudden, all of my DSes say that there's no cart inserted when I try to use it.
