#Trouble hitting my seed (HGSS Retail)

I'm having an issue hitting my seed on retail HG. I'm using a DS lite and the most recent build of PokeFinder (4.2.1). As far as I know, my setup is correct (see screenshots), but when I verify my seed via Irwin calls I am getting wildly different results (off by 1 or 2 seconds, more than 300 delay difference, etc) and the seed indicated by the calls does not have matching roamers. Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

1 second off

#

Is this 3ds?

#

Huh 300 delay?

hybrid raptor
#

ds lite

#

I imagine something has to be wrong with my setup but I can't figure out what

#

I'm hitting Sweet Scent as soon as I load in and then calling Irwin to verify which seed I hit after

Update your timer

#

Also

#

447 is enough to enter the game?

#

Is like super fast

hybrid raptor
#

it is

celest patrol
#

You dont need this amount

#

Is huge

#

I use 20

hybrid raptor
#

i just did another trial and even at +/- 500 i didn't get a result for irwin calls

#

as in the first 8 responses or so led to 0 results

#

i kept going and input the new values and got this

#

but my Raikou is on 34 and Entei 44

#

Show your ds

hybrid raptor
#

date is set to 02/23/2000 and i'm setting the clock to 12:47 as eontimer says 0 minutes before target

#

what did you want to see on the DS specifically?

celest patrol
#

Check for any user wrong input

hybrid raptor
#

i don't see anything off. there could be something going on with the ds itself that is causing this, from what I'm reading online it seems like I could just calibrate the target seconds to account for my seconds being off

#

i.e. the delay that I landed on was very close but the seconds were 2 early, so I set my target seconds to 51 instead of 49

#

and run it again

celest patrol
#

On ds lite theres nothing like this

#

The second off is for 3ds

#

Are you on real cartridge?

hybrid raptor
#

yes

#

i actually did a static manip on this cart succesfully as well as TID abuse using the same ds

#

prior to releasing my roamers

celest patrol
#

The thing is roamer and calls must match

hybrid raptor
#

yeah, that's what's confusing me

celest patrol
#

You can not be sure if something matches and the other says something different

#

Try another delay or target

#

Double check your roamers position before saving and turning off

hybrid raptor
#

i'll try that then. wait a little bit, then start fresh with a different target

#

i'm saving on the day i'm attempting on, correct?

celest patrol
#

No need

hybrid raptor
#

i.e. new target is on 1/19, I set my game to 1/19, load in, check roamers, and save

celest patrol
#

No need. Just save check your current roamers position and change your stuff on pokefinder

#

And move to the date and time and try again the rng

hybrid raptor
#

trying again, a couple of stupid questions

#
  1. are the irwin calls supposed to be done before initating an encounter or will pokefinder still find the correct seed if I input the calls after an encounter
#
  1. does my lati@s need to be roaming or can I check with just raikou/entei released?
#

wait so i am now just looking at roamers and ignoring irwin completely and

#

i'm within like 6 delay lmao

#

maybe it's this new seed but i think i got it now, thanks
