No. The PID Frame never starts at 0. It starts around 40-60 right off the bat. After 128 steps, it should probably be around 300 or so.Shouldn't the starting PID frame be 0?
When I turn the game on?
And since Im in a cave when I do my 128 steps it advances my PID by 2 frame per step?
How do shinies work for non Cgear? Do I just input my SID and check shiny only? Or more importantly, can you catch shinies with any spread regardless of ID/SID?
It's a current bug in reporter.First, thanks for OmegaDonut & co. for your hard work. You've really put a lot effort to this.
I've a problem with RNGReporter 9.5 Beta... For some reason it doesn't show shinies right for me.
TID: 14979
SID: 60225
DS Lite Parameters:
GxStat 60
VCount 60
VFrame 6
Timer0 min C7C
Timer0 max C7C
Seed: 7A0D4C5378032F3A
Frame: 6
Date: 4.1.11 15:38:07
Keypress: L
When I paste this seed to Reporter's main window (Method 5 PIDRNG) and check "shiny only" and select Adamant as nature I'll get this PID:
!!!
PID 8C095DCA
Frame: 681
Adamant
1
Male
I actually hit the seed and managed to get myself to frame 681. I got the right pokémon with right gender, ability and and IVs... but it's not shiny.
I'm pretty sure my SID is right. Before this try I used Time Finder to find random shiny spread and managed to get it. :d So, I guess I'm doing something very, very wrong.
Thanks in advance!
Convert supposed PID, TID, and SID to binary.
Take the highest and lowest bits of the PID... (1 and 0)
PID: [U]1[/U]000110000001001010111011100101[U]0[/U]
And the lowest bits of both the ID and SID (1 and 1)
TID: 14979 001110101000001[U]1[/U]
SID: 60225 111010110100000[U]1[/U]
1 xor 0 xor 1 xor 1 =/= 0
0x80000000 is XOR'd to PID, resulting in 0^0^1^1, == 0
Basically, when you add them all up,
they should be either 0, 2 or 4 (not 1 or 3).

Is there any way of figuring it out manually with the current information?It's a current bug in reporter.
8C095DCA = (1/0), your IDs are (1/1). The PID you are getting is 0C095DCA.

@nightmare
We already know how encounters are procced without sweet scent. It probably won't be implemented for a while though.
Thank you for the confirmation, Ill give it a shot later tonight.@krabs: you don't need to walk any steps if your IV frame is 1. Just do what you just said.
There is no PID - IV relation this gen. IVs to PID will never be used for gen 5 abuse.I still don't really understand shiny abuse. I just start the game at anytime, and I don't need the seed, walk 128 steps, catch, get IVs, then do the "IVs to PID" option on RNG Reporter for the frame?
And does this mean when getting a shiny I have to walk 128 steps first, or is that frame the one generated at the start?
I caught my Hex Flawless Jolly Mienfoo in Dragonspiral 1F the other day without too much trouble. You're probably just hitting your alternate Timer0 value. Keep trying.alright thanks kaphotics and one more question. is there something about Dragonspiral Tower that makes it harder to hit seeds? i was successfully able to hit one of my seeds on wild pokemon finally but in Dragonspiral im finding im off alot more.
