Hello!
I'm looking for guidance/assistance on how to setup and use an emulator for RNG in Pokemon Platinum.
I'm planning to search for a Square Shiny Spread (Roamer) with an specific TID/SID combo.

Details are shown below:
Spread that I want to relate with TID/SID combo.

Desired TID:

Seed to Time:

I also found the following link to download DesMume but I'm unsure if this is the version to use.
Thanks for the help in advance ๐Ÿ™‚

#

after you have your emu on point, you use tid sid and copy part the pid of the spread that you want to be shiny

exotic violet
#

gen 4 specific tid rng needs some time to search

#

increase max delay if you dont have a result

#

@compact plover let us know if you still need help!

now working ๐Ÿ™‚

#

I did a previous run for searching the TID/SID Combo

#

and this is what I found at that moment:

4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 720052
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 785588
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 851124
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 916660
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 982196
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1047732
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1113268
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1178804
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1244340
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1309876
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1375412

Now, I'm not sure where to go or how to use the emulator lol ๐Ÿ˜ฆ @exotic violet @solar oriole

exotic violet
#

do you have the hotkeys configured?

#

pause, frame advancement, save state

compact plover
#

nope, this is my first time using emulator and the script

exotic violet
#

get used to desmume

compact plover
#

right o.o

compact plover
exotic violet
#

2

compact plover
#

state 2 selected?

exotic violet
#

mmm, use different keyboard

#

you change modes with 1-2

#

if you dont have another keyboard then change save states hotkey

solar oriole
#

Press 2

#

You'll see the mode changing. Even with state 2 selected

compact plover
#

yes

#

I saw the change

solar oriole
#

Perfect

compact plover
solar oriole
#

Try pressing 1

#

Do you have the numpad?

compact plover
#

but nothing happens with num pad

solar oriole
#

This is strange

#

Mode stays always Normal?

compact plover
#

this happened

solar oriole
#

So it worked

compact plover
#

yes, but reloaded desmume and script

#

and it is now like that

solar oriole
#

Click A

#

It will fix

#

What are you trying to do?

compact plover
#

I'm trying to RNG my TID/SID

#

to have this number: 10492 and a shiny spread (Calm, 31/0/31/31/31/31)

#

this was the first search for the TID/SID with the shiny spread:
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 720052
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 785588
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 851124
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 916660
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 982196
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1047732
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1113268
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1178804
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1244340
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1309876
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1375412
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1440948
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1506484
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 1572020

#

I can do it once again

solar oriole
#

Don't use blisy guide

#

This is emulator

compact plover
#

sure u-u

#

so what guide may I use?

exotic violet
#

just paste your seed to seed to time and thats it

#

you can even right click and seed to time iirc

compact plover
#

Alright

#

It is searching for a Seed

compact plover
#

So these are the seeds:

#

4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 720052
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 785588
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 851124
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 916660
4621FCCB 10492 67 1303 982196

#

now I send these to seed to time?

exotic violet
#

whats the max delay? @solar oriole @fresh hawk

fresh hawk
#

wdym?

#

max delay for any seed?

exotic violet
#

like pokefinder checks corretly for this amount of delay?

solar oriole
#

Infinite research, new cool feature added for high delay

exotic violet
#

Awesome

compact plover
#

well

#

now that I have the seed

#

how can I RNG in emulator?

#

actually, I don't know how to proceed

exotic violet
compact plover
#

when configuring this

#

should I enter in the date/time section

#

these values?:

#

4621FCCB 2023-10-04 23:30:00 720052

#

so it will look like this?

compact plover
#

Game is like this, should I leave it run until target frame?

#

not target frame

#

but taarget delay?

compact plover
#

So, target Delay is the following:

#

720052, Seed: 4621FCCB

#

checking the current process

#

this is the current state

#

not sure if that is ok, as I don't see the Seed changing that much

compact plover
#

:c

solar oriole
#

@compact plover you have to hit the correct init seed

#

Nothing more for ids

#

Calc the difference between hit delay - target delay

#

And apply it to your A pressing

compact plover
#

well

#

I did not hit the correct delay

#

I believe I hit that target delay, based on the image above

#

but I'm unsure on how to apply it to my A pressing?

#

also, I did some save states

#

I loaded one, but cannot see the current frame, nor the seed

solar oriole
#

isn't it?

#

why you say you didn't hit the delay?

compact plover
#

oh, as the TID was not correct?

solar oriole
#

oh lol it was the adjustement

compact plover
#

LOL

#

well

#

I thought it was to be

solar oriole
#

you're 22 more

compact plover
#

this seed: 4621FCCB

solar oriole
#

try hit delay - 22

#

let me know

compact plover
#

well, problem now is

#

that I cannot see the current delay in Desmume

#

when I load the save state

#

I believe I should start runasdate again, then open rom and luascript

#

and finally load save state?

#

this is without save state

#

now with loaded save state:

#

still cannot see delay info nor next seed info

compact plover
#

Thanks @solar oriole & @exotic violet

#

we did it ๐Ÿ™‚

exotic violet
#

Awesome man

compact plover
#

now, how do I save and inject the savefile?

#

๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜…

exotic violet
#

You can use cfw to inject it

compact plover
#

well

#

do I need to save in game

#

later on

#

export backup memory?

exotic violet
#

Yes

#

Use pksm

#

Also, check export format

compact plover
exotic violet
#

The save file size

compact plover
#

512 kb?

exotic violet
#

Iirc yes

#

Thats gen 4 save file size
