If it is, it's tied to the PID.Are there encounter slot tables for Black? I want to catch something and want to know what route and slot it's on.
Yes, but you can do it with the timer instead. Especially now that rng reporter does a wider range of delays.Okay, I just read through C-Gear abuse. Seeing as it's delay based, is calibration necessary? I'd think so after seeing a two stage timer is needed.
Ah.. I see what you're doing. I actually set it up so that what you do is start with 0 for calibration. Try to hit a seed. Use the seed to time window to search for the IVs that you got. Use that delay to update. You should be very close after about 3 tries. If I weren't so lazy, I'd write up a guide for this.Okay, I'm running into some calibration issues in preparation for CGear abuse:
I start in the ending cave of Victory Road (no NPC's. It's a small room). I sweet scent, catch the pokemon, and check the IV's. Mattj said it's possible to use the Seed Finder of RNGreporter to locate the seed, giving me my calibrated delay in the process. I can't get a seed out of it for the life of me. I've run through all the natures.
So, apparently I'm doing something conceptually wrong. The way I see it, either someone knows a value to put in the "calibration" field of ZomgTimer, or I should use the IVRNG codes to check my seed. Really, this is all so I can use ZomgTimer.
The seed check probably wont work with CGear seeds. You'll have to use the IVs to check it.Okay, last question for the night, I promise.
I'm doing C-Gear abuse, but in order to check adjacent seeds, I used the Seed Check code. The seeds didn't resemble anything close to an adjacent, but it occurred to me, does that code only work for Non C-Gear? I've used the code for that purpose, which might explain why I'm so far off.
At any rate, I'm just going to get a good night's sleep and throw myself at it again tomorrow.
You can't.how can i verify a frame that is higher than 624 with the frame check code??
ok thanks.. =)You can't.
thank you, i will try! i had fortunately hit a random no c-gear seed were there was a 31/31/31/26/31/30 spread at about frame 9000, so your suggestion could help me! thank you againActually if you keep track of how many times the frame counter has rolled over you can check your frame.
The frame is given by (624*times_rolled_over)+code_result.
I have succesfully pinpointed a frame in the 9500 range this way.
If you wish to advance the frame through the fast in-battle advancement you'll have to determine how many times the counter has rolled given a certain amount time spent in battle through trial and error.
Everything is more difficult when not using an emulator because controlling time is pretty much non-existent. But I am RNGing on an actual retail cart and it is still WAY easier to RNG for B/W than it ever was for the previous generations. So, a flashcart would be even easier than what I am doing...hopefully that answers it...How much more difficult is it to RNG abuse on a flashcart than an emulator?
Well, there is a slight amount of lag on flashcarts. And mine doesn't have the ability to create save-states.Everything is more difficult when not using an emulator because controlling time is pretty much non-existent.

It's easier if you're working with non C-Gear seeds. Because in order to hit a non C-Gear seed, you only need to get the date\time down to the second (no delays!), and you can usually find a flawless spread within the first two dozen frames, if not the first ten.Well, there is a slight amount of lag on flashcarts. And mine doesn't have the ability to create save-states.
And how is it easier? From what I've seen, there's inconsistent delays, high frames in the 9000s, two different kind of seeds. . . it's actually a bit overwhelming.
Why is it more complicated? I'm pretty sure most flashcarts nowadays support soft resetting. Mine does, at least.It's easier if you're working with non C-Gear seeds.

reklaw_vahn can do this because I needed him to test out non C-Gear seed prediction for RNG Reporter 9, and he now has a list of spreads with their corresponding dates\times. He can do this pretty easily because he's using a real cart, but the process for flash carts is a bit more complicated. Unfortunately, most people on Smogon are playing B\W with a flashcart.
