Initial Seed Doesn't Match RNG Reporters

[ruby thistle]

I'm trying to RNG an Egg in Gen 5. I've already set up my parameters. 5th Gen Time Finder has given me a seed I want to hit of 6AFA2E5CB84EE648 and it tells me to set date and time to 01/01/17 00:01:15. So I input that date and time into Runasdate and my open the game and turn on Lua to see if I hit the seed. The initial seed is incorrect but the game also says the date and time is right so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Can you show a pic of the target seeds date and time

In time finder

[ruby thistle]

Okay

[broken girder]

Hm yeah that checks out; unless you pressed any keys during startup I wouldn’t know what’s wrong

[ruby thistle]

Only thing I pressed after loading the rom was the mousepad to turn on the Lua script

Damn

[broken girder]

Well I guess calibration could also be wrong

[ruby thistle]

Calibration? The DS parameters?

[broken girder]

Yes

[ruby thistle]

I mean I guess but I doubt it

Any initial seed works right?

[broken girder]

With different parameters the initial seed at a date and time will be different

[ruby thistle]

I've tried different seeds and times and I've always gotten these results for this save and profile

[broken girder]

No idea then

[ruby thistle]

Do you or anybody else know of a video tutorial of this? Using an emulator, Runasdate and stuff

[broken girder]

Not me I’m afraid I personally pretty much only rng on retail

[ruby thistle]

Trying to set up a new calibration, 20+ attempts and still no seed has given me my profile parameters 🥲

I've just been changing the date and time to get new seeds from Lua but none have given results

[ruby thistle]

Okay, I got my initial seed. I just needed to stop using Runasdate to find it

But I'm having a new problem which I already made a thread for
