I'm going to use arbitrary code execution to get Mew in emerald. Where can I find all possible IV spreads? Are there any 31/31/31/31/31/31?
No, but see next commentI am attempting this on a New Nintendo 3DS. Does this matter?
While going back to the home menu is sufficient, I'd recommend modifying the procedure slightly. Rather than booting the game at the end of the first timer, I'd suggest syncing your clock and EonTimer start times (like normal) then immediately boot the game while the first time is counting down. This will make the process (a) SR when the first timer ends, then (b) click continue from the main screen when the second ends. The 3ds can have a fluctuating/long boot time, and this should eliminate that variable. That said if you prefer to use the standard method as you have been, it works too.The guide says to "restart your DS" at one point. Do I need to turn off my system and turn it back on, or is going back to the Home Menu sufficient?
Doesn't matter, pick whichever date you like the best.When I enter the Seed 26030754 in Seed to Time, scores of options appear when I click "Generate". Are any Date / Time / Delay options superior to others? I am currently using:
Date 2022 / 01 / 01, Time 03 / 22 / 15, Delay 1854.
The only input that matters (technically) is the final one to start the game on the continue screen. Gen 4 requires accuracy to 1/60th of a second, so you'll need to act as close as you can to the timer to get your seed. Consistency is the real key tho. Any button presses you do in the meantime to get thru the load screen don't matter, so feel free to spam A to get to the final screen when you have to press A.How exact does my timing need to be (closing the Current Time page, starting the game) when I am using Eon Timer? 1 Second? 0.1 Seconds?
I rapidly press A and Start so that I can make it to the Load screen before the Eon Timer finishes; does pressing A and Start before the File Load screen appears do anything regarding the frame?

If the IVs are different, then you are on a different seed and hit a different delay.Thank you so much for your reply, shiny finder! I adopted the changes to my process that you suggested.
I changed the spread I am aiming for to a Chimchar with a Jolly nature. After a couple tries at this, I got a Jolly Chimchar, but almost all of its IVs were off target. Is there anything I can learn from this regarding how close I am to my target seed or other factors? Or was obtaining the right nature just a coincidence?
Never tried it but you might find this comment helpfulIs there a way to rng the lottery in pokemon platinum?

A clock/timer is involved in some way, yes, tho the emphasis on it changes as you go thru the gens. There's a bit too much to cover adequately (and I couldn't even if I wanted to try), so I'd recommend perusing stuff like this to see what goes into RNGing each one. To answer your questions tho, FRLG seed creation is mentioned in this post (see hide tag; spoiler: it's a really fast timer). Emerald is unique in that the initial seed is 0 every time, yeah.Do GSC, RS, and all core series games after gen 3 use their clocks to seed their RNGs? Where does FRLG get its seeds from? Emerald is the one where the random number depends on the number of frames after starting/soft resetting the game and nothing else, right?
worth noting that it is possible to change the initial seed of Emerald (and dead battery R/S by extension) legitimately with the contest hall painting method discovered in recent yearsDo GSC, RS, and all core series games after gen 3 use their clocks to seed their RNGs?

Welcome to Smogon! Depending on how close you are, you could SR at the end of the first timer instead of booting the game from the menu. That might give you a little extra time. But if you just can't manage it quick enough, then there's nothing else you can really do other than find a new seed/time.Hello i have found an TID/SID combo in Pokemon Platinum that gives a modest 31/31/31/31/31/31 shiny at 626 delay. But the eon timer gives me 14 seconds between game boot and load save file which is not enough so i am out every time. What can i do?
Hi! Devon Studios has the most up-to-date guides for emulator RNG with luas, just use Google Translate to translate the webpage (unless you can read Italian).Haven't RNG'd in ages and very inexperienced in Gen 3 but wanted to check here before going down the google rabbit hole. I'm not planning to abuse my TID/SID(although it looks like this is now a possibility) but was wondering if one emulator if there are any resources for tracking frames via Lua Scripts or through Desmume/VBA. Its a Japanese Emerald if it makes any difference and will be going for a shiny mew. Any help would be appreciated.
Hiya! I've been looking in to this in my free time this afternoon and there are a couple f things I'm unsure of based on your description.(snip)

). I found I had to be positioned facing sideways to the patch (target patch circled in red) instead of looking away from it, but I was able to obtain your target. I did it on emulator for ease of testing but there's no reason it won't be replicable on your console!Gen IV can have a even/odd offset, so certain frames can't be hit at all as the game will just "round" it, to circumvent this, try to have a mainline Pokemon GBA game on the DS slot while doing the whole thing, entering the save menu then back to the title screen would also be an option, but it isn't when hunting a specific TID/SID combo. You could also play around this by using a date one year forward or behind the one you're currently using for the RNG (of course I'd corroborate on this being a legit seed).Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I have a trouble with Pid abuse for cute charm glitch in 4th generation (hgss).
I follow I'm a blisy guide for TID/SID abuse to get a combination for cute charm glitch.
After calibration, find seed to hit, search right date/time, I notice that I can't hit the right second.
For example: date is 04/19/2024 at 23:47:50 , so i open Eontimer 3.0 and set da date and time to 23:46:00 on my Nintendo ds lite, then press A button in same time star eontimer.
I finished at Prof Oack's last phrase "Let's go to the world of Pokémon! I'll see you later!" as per guide, and wait for countdown end.
My target is 23:47:50
My results are 23:47:47
So try again and set eontimer add 3 more seconds, but my results are 23:47:53
I can't understand what is the problem, I can edit this post later adding seed and delay to hit if it can help..
