Nope, no BW2 abuse for XP users. There'll supposedly be an updated RNG Reporter down the line with BW2 support that works on XP, but it's going to be a while.
There are easier and faster ways to find your current SID (like Pokecheck or trading to somebody who can check for you), but if you're accurate and exact, then theoretically, yes.
You mean Mesprit don't you? I'm leaning towards no, but I haven't attempted to RNG Mesprit myself.
yep oops i meant mesprit. and you're hunch is right. rng'd it and the cloud wasn't a problem.
Really? What about Linux? >_<
A Linux version of RNGReporter is in the works, but it's a low priority right now. Your best option is to set up a VM running Windows 7 inside of it (which is what I do).
Yup, i just RNG'd Mesprit as well and the clouds were no problem.jp134711 said:
Calibration is a one time thing if you use the same retail cart/DS combo.
It's not necessary to recalibrate. It's a good idea as you're RNGing, however, to verify your seeds you are hitting to see if it's just bad luck, or error.
the three WNPCs within the Virbank Complex would like to say hi.
that trick doesn't appear to work anymore in BW2, although you don't need to worry about the clouds on top of the Celestial Tower - they don't advance the PIDRNG, and you can sweet scent just fine.
There are a LOT of NPCs in Nacrene City, it will throw your initial PIDRNG frame off by about 20 (I had the same problem). I highly recommend listening to Chatot pitches for Uxie.
Doesn't matter. All those NPCs still count, even if they're off-screen.
Alright, thank you. Never been able to get into Pokecheck. Wrong kind of Wi-Fi connection.
haha darn. there were some cases where i thought i was hitting the right frame based on chatot pitches. do you suggest stopping a few frames short of the target frame (rather than one frame short) to account for weird NPC stuff?
I was able to get my frame by stopping right at my frame like normal, but you have to be extremely quick leaving the game menu and talking to Uxie (and a little lucky).
wow that was one of the tougher ones in BW2. thanks for your help! finally RNGed it.
you're doing it right. you have to advance 538-52 = 486 frames to get your target frame. you could try setting to a different seed (i.e. pick a different day or change # of button presses). Since you're not going for a shiny, finding another flawless seed shouldn't be too bad. My experience has been that 486 isn't that many - you could probably get it in about 5 min, but if there are NPCs, you have to be spot on or else you'll have to restart. Best bet is to find another seed, i think.Ok, I got my technical problem solved and RNG Reporter now works. However, now I've run into a problem actually finding my seed.
Currently I'm trying to RNG a flawless wild Axew with Mold Breaker. However, when I go to find out how many frames I'm supposed to advance the PIDRNG, it looks like I'm having to advance somewhere around 200 frames to get to where I want. I've RNG'd a flawless wild pokemon before (ditto) and didn't have to go nearly that far. Am I doing something wrong? Here's a picture of one of the seeds that I got as an example
For example, here it looks like it's wanting me to advance the frame ~480 times .__.
Ok, thank you~ yeah... I think the reason that it's so many more than my previous attempt (on a flawless ditto) is because for that RNG I only cared about getting the IV frame, as ability and nature weren't important... This one's far more specific though. Yeah, There were like... 8 results for the year I used in this search. I think 1 of them was like 200 advances though, so maybe I'll try that one and if there are NPCs then I'll find a diff seed like you said
Do you have an Adamant Synchronizer? You're searching for a specific nature with no sync, which cuts you down to 1/25 of the frames even before any other factors. Try that and I expect you'll find a match on a lower frame.
If you hit the right seed, the IVs should be perfect (assuming you searched on frame 1). If the IVs are right, you can note the nature/characteristic to narrow down what frame you hit.
No... I've never had to use a synchronizer before, so I don't even know how that works xD I'll go look into that as well
Okay, thank you for the clarification. Yes, I searched on frame 1 (I've used this seed to catch flawless shiny Heatran, Latias) I have tried about 20+ times and I have yet to hit the flawless seed, then. My timer0 range is 10F2 to 10F5. I'm hoping it's just bad luck, because it's demoralizing.
I had this issue just a few posts above you ^. What I eventually did was look at a chunk of frames (about 10 or so) right before my target frame. This way, even though I don't know my starting frame, if I do the pitches and a sequence of pitches matches this chunk that I previously specified, then I know that I'm on the right track. For example, my target shiny frame was 116 so I checked my pitches against a chunk around 100-110. RNGReporter predicted my starting frame was 48, so even if the actual frame was 20-30 ahead (i.e. 68-78), I'd still be able to check if I was on the right track. Eventually you'll get it given all the calibration and timer0 is right. It was probably one of the more annoying ones to RNG.
I saw, actually; I was thinking of messaging you so you could help me out =)
