Do you have a link to the last version that worked on Windows XP?

When you find your parameters, take note of the "actual seconds" column in the results, and compare that to the time you entered for when you started the game. It should be about 8 seconds different. Assuming it's 8 seconds, you would start the game (push A on the ds menu to launch it) 8 seconds before your seed time. So if the reporter says your seed is at 00:00:20, you would push A at the ds menu at 00:00:12. You just have to be accurate to the second.Hello. :)
I just started trying out rng abuse, but I don't manage to calibrate my parameters since RNG reporters don't find any seed. I made sur that my mac address was correct, i'm pretty sure the time is correct (I even tried a large range of seconds, it finds nothing). I also made sure I don't press any button until the star appears.
I use a 3DS and a french version of white 2, with the IV method (in victory road).
Thanks
Edit : I think I found out where was the problem : I used the time when the battle started instead of when I lauched the game. ^^'
Edit 2 : Also, i have another question : should I lauch the game exactly when my chronometer reaches the right team, or a few seconds before ? When is determined the seed ? When the green light of the 3D turns off ? When the blank screen appears ?
Thanks ^^
You aren't getting the correct nature because you aren't advancing the PIDRNG frame. If you look in the main window, after hitting the "calculate initial frame" button and then generate, you will notice that Calm is the nature on the initial frame for seed A5C24EC1D42A60C8. So, you need to advance the frame to one with a naughty nature by saving or viewing the summary of a Chatot with a custom chatter. So, for the seed A5C24EC1D42A60C8, keep doing what you are doing, but save the game/view chatot's summary once before encountering Zekrom.snip

And thanks for providing such detailed info :)
edit: And welcome to Smogon! :D
It sounds like you have gotten results before, so what changed between then and now? Different month, different settings etcquote
I tried so, yes, and it doesn't give me the option of 'extract all' - WinRAR's my method of extracting. I'm not sure how you mean by run it outside the Zip file.Kurona did you try redownloading the zip file? And why are you using WinRAR? Can you not just right click on it and say "extract all"? you can also just run it out of the zip file.
Windows should be able to unzip .zip files on it's own, without WinRAR. Have you had other problems in the past with it? You can prevent yourself from using WinRAR by opening WinRAR, then going to Options>settings>integration and unticking zip. I'm not that familiar with WinRAR, but it shouldn't be needed to unzip .zip files...only .rarI tried so, yes, and it doesn't give me the option of 'extract all' - WinRAR's my method of extracting.

It's... not a folder...Oh, I just meant you can double-click the zip folder to open it and then run the reporter that way.
Well, a file then. Does it look like a folder with a zipper on it? What happens when you double-click it? Oh, and are you on windows?It's... not a folder...
... I've gone and done something horribly wrong, haven't I?
I am definitely windows. I done a little fiddling and done what you said - I unticked the thing and I made all files of that type open as a .zip folder. Which is great because now I'm finally able to play Smash Flash 2. However, now when I try to open the Zip folder - and this message reads for no other Zip folder - it gives me this message.Well, a file then. Does it look like a folder with a zipper on it?

haha well at least that fixed something :). Not sure where you are downloading it from, but it seems like there's nothing in it. Try Here for 9.96.6. It's alpha so it may have some bugs, but it works just fine. If you need an xp version it looks like Esmeya posted a link a few posts above.I am definitely windows.

Yyyyyes, that worked, thank you very much for the help. Now I can finally get into this RNGing perfect Legendaries business.haha well at least that fixed something :).

Wondercard and wild Iv's are handled differently so you probably won't be able to figure out what you're hitting by catching wild pokemon. If you aren't using 9.96.5 (iirc it doesn't work in that version), you can use the adjacent seed tool to try to see what you are getting that way when you get the Keldeo (under 5th gen tools). It sounds like you are getting the wrong Timer0. Nothing you can do about that but to keep trying. If you think you aren't using your most common one, recalibrate several times (seriously, 10+ times) to find it, and then potentially find a new seed that uses your most common one.This is weird, I managed to do calibration (or it looked like so), but I still can't find a near seed containing the spread I find. :/
haha you're welcome! Looks like you never had the reporter in the first place XD. Good luck! :)Yyyyyes, that worked, thank you very much for the help. Now I can finally get into this RNGing perfect Legendaries business.
I use version 9.96.6 beta. So I should recalibrate several times and then compare what I get ?Wondercard and wild Iv's are handled differently so you probably won't be able to figure out what you're hitting by catching wild pokemon.

Might not be a bad idea if you keep getting the wrong seed when going for the Keldeo. Timer0 does troll a lot in W2 though so it's not uncommon for it to be wrong. If you're still having problems with the IV method (although it sounds like you can get results so I'd stick with that), you can try Unova link calibration.I use version 9.96.6 beta. So I should recalibrate several times and then compare what I get ?
The launch time (the time you push A to launch the game from the ds menu).Ok. And a last thing, is it the lauch time or the encounter time I must use for the calibration ?
