You're entering in the wrong delay value. The value you enter into that box is going to be GREATER than the delay you want - to account for the short time the game is loading and frames are not progressing. Check out the emloop guide on post #7 of this thread ( http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1907765&postcount=7 ). Specifically, step #1 and #9.I'm having a little trouble with using the Emloop timer to hit higher delays. The delay I'm trying to hit is 593, and the delay I usually use is 489 (difference 104) and HG takes 13 seconds to start up. My target seed is 8d17025b and I found 2010 05 10 23:46:45 to be a suitable time for that.
So here you see that I've filled out the screen with the appropriate values. If I'm understanding this correctly, I need to open my DS to change the time, hold the Confirm button on my DS and the Start button on Emloop down and release them at the same time. I then start the game, SR when the timer hits 0, hit A to the continue screen, and hit A again when the timer hits 0 again. However, when I start SRing, I don't hit seeds anywhere near the one I'm looking for. I tried it about 10 times and searched Elm responses for delays +-50 and seconds +-2, and I don't get anything. I think I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas?
It sounds like you're doing the process correctly - just not using the right numbers. :)
