I asked on the IRC, no one responded. I'll ask here and hopefully get some help. I'm getting started on using RNG Manipulation to manipulate a great starter for me in Platinum. I'm trying to manipulate a Chimchar. I have seen the RNG Manipulation guide on the wiki, but it leaves a lot of unanswered questions for me.

Especially since I'm not using the same starter/seed/time as the guide does. Information: This is the seed I chose. This is the time and the delay that I chose.
Here I set up Eon Timer. Questions: 1.) Did I set up everything correctly up to this point? 2.) How do I know what my ID number will be if I hit the correct seed? The guide says the ID number for their seed should be 12603. What should mine be and how do I figure that out? 3.) Do I need to follow the exact movement like the guide does for their seed? Or since I'm using a different seed will I need a different movement pattern for the beginning of the game?
If so how do I figure out my movement pattern for this seed? 4.) When trying to use the TID/SID Manipulation 'Pandora's Box' tool on RNG Reporter if brings up an error message saying 'No Profiles were detected. Please set up a profile first' It looks like this.
I'm confused on how to set this up. I don't know what most of those terms mean, and on versions it only has 5th gen pokemon games available for selection so how do you set up a 4th gen profile.
I don't even know how to find out my MAC Address for my DS, it is the original blue phat DS. Any tips or ideas?
Thanks for anyone who helps me struggle through this. It was Mike who wrote that guide, not me. First off, that frame is wayyy too high.
You'd have to do loads and loads of steps to reach that frame when you pick up your starter. Try using a seed that gives you a frame that isn't too far above 80. Movement to reach the frame comes down to trial and error. It's easiest to try this stuff out on emulator. To hit your seed on emulator, divide your delay by 60, subtract that number of seconds from your target time, then subtract 2 more seconds. Use the frame counter to exit the TV broadcast at (your delay+60) frames.
To see whether you've hit your seed, use the TID/SID Manipulation 'Pandora's Box' tool. When it asks you to fill out a profile, just make up some data to put in there - the data only matters for gen 5 manipulation. Enter your Trainer ID into the tool, and it'll tell you what second and delay you hit.
If you hit the wrong second and delay, make some adjustments and try again. If the delay you hit is even and you're aiming for an odd delay (or vice versa), advance the year by 1 (this reduces the delay by 1). Once you've hit your seed, it's time for the aforementioned trial and error bit. Basically you just try various movement patterns and see how far off from your frame you are, then try again if you don't get it. Can help you out with this process. If you don't use the Lua script, you can match the nature and IVs of the starter you get to a specific frame for your seed in RNG Reporter.
Well, I wouldn't call this a bump since it's still the last topic we've had for this game. I had stopped trying to do the RNG Manipulation because I thought it was too complicated for me, but I'm giving it a shot again and now I'm understanding it more I think. Anyways I have a question.
The seed I'm trying to hit is as follows: Seed: 410214BD Frame: 102 Hour: 2 PID: DFADCC9 Date: @ 02:10:00 Delay: 5295 This should give me a starter with a Lonely nature and the following IVs: Hp: 25 Atk: 31 Def: 28 SAtk: 31 SDef: 23 Spd: 31 I've set up my Eon Timer like so: And it looks like I hit that seed on one of my attempts! Anyways when I was checking with the Pandora's Box ID/SID Manipulation Tool I noticed a difference. I'm attempting to hit a second of 0 right? Since my time is 02:10: 00.
Here I hit a second of 1. Does that literally mean I was one second too late? I'm asking because if I put in a target second of 1, it add a second to my Eon Timer countdown, so that means I must have set up Eon Timer correctly with having my target second be 0, so I'm not sure how else to calibrate the Eon Timer to compensate for hitting my seed a second late. I realize I could be overthinking it and this might not matter at all, but I'm still new to RNG Manipulation. I suppose the answer is pretty simple, or there might not even be a problem here. Huge thank you to whoever helps me clear this up.
Oh derp, I never noticed that. I feel stupid now. Well the last hour I've been getting closer to hitting the correct seed I want then. Usually I'm hitting a delay around 5291-5293, never anything higher that that. I've also hit 0 seconds more consistently, even though a few 1 seconds still pop in. Guess I'll keep practicing. Thanks for the info again and the tips!
Edit: A few hours later. I'm so happy right now. Asdfadsjfalksj;dfa;djkfa Edit #2: Getting the frame was so much easier since I chose the same frame as the tutorial. OH BABY THOSE STATS. WR HERE I COME! So I have tried over 100 times today to hit my seed(the one for Piplup route), and I haven't hit it once.
Can anyone give me some tips. I am using Eon Timer, and I have everyone thing set up right, but I just don't know what I am doing wrong. I have tried starting the Eon Timer.6 seconds after I start my 3ds timer to have the times generally synced, but I was never able to hit the correct seed.
Then I just started clicking start on the Eon Timer at the same time i pressed Ok on my 3ds to change the time and that didn't work either. I have generally been hitting the correct second(except maybe 5 times out of the 100ish times I've tried) and my delay will range from 2 frames late to 10 frames late. Not once have I hit the correct frame even when my second was wrong, and I have also hit the TID that is 2 frames late probably like 20 times. I just don't know what else to do. Maybe it is just my error of being late or maybe I'm doing something wrong. Also I have hit the correct seed in the past before, but only twice. Let me know what you think.

If you're consistently hitting a number of frames late, put (target delay+number of frames late you are) in the Delay Hit box, then click Update. This will adjust the Calibrated Delay slightly, hopefully fixing your timing.
