First, make sure the FireRed game did not get dislodged slightly. Give it a little shove to be sure it's in tight. Second, delays can swing on HGSS. So narrow down your delays to as close as you can get to the target, but do not adjust Pikatimer when you see ridiculous delay results on your adjacents. If you notice you are near the range of your target delay, stick to the same timer that Pikatimer is currently on or adjust it only very slightly one delay up or down if you notice your results are always slightly up from the target or slightly down from the target. When you have swinging delays, you sometimes just have to keep trying until the same timer settings land you on your target. It sometimes takes a while, sometimes only a few tries, so be careful adjusting Pikatimer.
I need help with RNGing my SID/OT. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
The seed is (edit) 740f232c
The min delay I'm using is 4000
The wanted delay is 8994
On seeds to time, I have the following date: 2010 06 09,15:03:59
(I tried a 12 second target, but Pikatimer gave me a first timer with it that was impossible for me to accomplish on a ROM.)
On Pikatimer, I have 4000 min, 8994 wanted, 12 seconds calibrated, 59 seconds wanted.
I've gotten these results:
delay 8535 at 4 seconds
delay 8832 at 11 seconds
delay 8907 at 14 seconds
delay 8999 at 15 seconds
As you can see, the last delay makes Pikatimer lower its second countdown. Also, I'm not getting at all close to the 59 seconds in my target date.
Can anyone expert at SID/OT RNG help me with this please? I've been trying for two days and this happens over and over.
