Since the person who answered me didn't give me a satisfactory answer (is 'don't bother with Emerald RNG' a good answer? No, I don't think so) I will restate my question, except for the SID question I had which they did answer.

From what I've read, if you want to hit a frame you have to encounter a the Pokemon at the exact moment that the timer goes off? And when/if I don't hit my desired frame, I check my IVs, and enter them into the RNG or other frame finder and do some math stuff to to get another frame to go by, then try it again?
Just making sure I've got this right.
What's a good frame to start looking for in a decent shiny Rayquaza (Hasty/Naive preferably), factoring in the 84 frames I have to wait because of the animation?

Most everyone here uses the 4 gen RNG so you could try the ruins of alph, but im sure there is a way to advance the RNG other than waiting rayquaza to dance around, also how would you predict that? I think your info is alsio off. I dont know much about emerald RNG, but i think you should re-research your info.
I even did some stuff for you! But first, since you think I didn't give a satisfactory answer, I'll put it into perspective. If you didn't know already, the Emerald RNG runs at 60 frames per second. This means you have to press your A button at the exact 1/60th of a second, or you won't get what you want. However, you can plug the stats of the pokemon you got into an IV calculator, and find the frame you hit from there. Then you can adjust based on how far you were off.
The first Naive/Hasty frame that's decent is over 810 minutes into the game, by the way. Have fun!
So you don't understand calibration. Try this video perhaps? ^^

Thanks!! The answer was right in front of me but I didn't see it xD.
I don't see how emloop would help on that unless you're telling him to just forget about calibrating.
The guide here tells you how to do it in detail. Alternatively, you can look at that video by SparkTehFuze on calibration: http://www.youtube.com/user/00greenbean00#p/c/EC0821234459F64B

Say I abuse a Shiny spread for a certain PID. Do other spreads with the same IV and Nature but different PIDs appear shiny as well?
Yes, the same spread/nature can be regenerated with higher and lower delays (and therefore different frames) and it will still be shiny. I've done this many times to get better frames for a spread.
Is this for breeding?
Yeah sorry forgot to specify.
For Eggs, the starting fame is 1, so you need the frame to be one below it. You can advance the frame steadily by 1 using coin flips, or by the amount of Pokémon in your party * 2 with double taps on the happiness checker.
When you're saved in front of a shiny egg, hit the seed you need for IVs, advance the frame, and take it.
