Hello! As a Mac user I love having an RNG software I can use! I have learned how to use it reliably in the 5th gen, but wish to RNG in Gen 4 too. (That Cute Charm thing looks amazing) however, there's a lot I don't understand about the 4th gen setup. I found my secret ID useing the software, but I dont know how to go forward with hitting a simple seed. I want a shiny starter on HG, that's method one, right? I found a seed in which the star appears on frame 23. Will saving progess the frame as it does in BW? And I have no understanding of delay. Do I let the intro play? Or do I stop it? The time, is it still the exact start up time? Or does the delay effect it? I have a DS lite and Ruby/Sapphire for switching odd/even, apparently that happens. So... Can anyone help?



EDIT:

I have done additional research and been attempting things all morning. I found the Zong Timer, and with it have been able to constantly receive the same pokemon, but not the desired pokemon. I have found out that the three starters of Heart Gold are based on different frames. The ones I want are ether Chikorita (Frame 1) or Cyndaquil (Frame 5) I have found no seeds with shinys on frame one but a few on frame five. However, I am encountering an error, I search for shiny, it comes up shiny, but upon clicking it the inspector holds no shiny on the seed. So I am unable to find a shiny seed. ANY shiny seed. I'd basically have to choose a random seed and hope it has my shiny on it.



EDIT 2:

After continuing to search, I still encounter the problem of not being able to search for shiny seeds, however I wrote down the seed number of a seed with a star on frame 2. Then, I found a way to advance the frame! (Saving doesn't work) So I got A Shiny Chikorita! So no longer in a rush, but I still want to know whats up with this error.



Sorry for so many edits!
