And here's a video of the event that plays out in the Gen 3 games- specifically FireRed in this case! Remember... this is all possible on an unmodified copy of the game!! I'm really happy with how it turned out😄

You're the one person I was hopeful to check it out : do you have a discord or anything I had a few questions about the program. Your program is neat. Sadly I don't have the equipment currently to do it. Retronyte is mine. I also did a video. youtu.be/9xKXw4TOeqo

Now that the dust has settled, I'll write my own thread about how to manipulate the RNG for the Item Printer! A fun date/time to start: March 21, 2039 12:14:42 PM (go 1-2s early) Print 1 for 9 Pretty Feathers and Ball Bonus. Immediately print 10 for a set of regular apriballs!

Scarlet/Violet's Item Printer has been broken! The results are locked-in when you open the menu for the first time (using "seconds since 1970"). With knowledge of how it determines item results, we can forecast results, and game the item printer. More info soon.
The Item Printer can be gamed with the system clock! The first time you boot up the game, opening the Item Printer sets the RNG seed based on the system time. For 10 rare balls: May 20, 2016, 2:11:13 AM (select "I want to print" 11 sec in for enough time to fade to black)

I have finished documenting the exploits, and I feel like everyone has waited long enough. Arbitrary and Remote Code Execution is now possible in all generation 4 games through Mystery Gifts shared with Wonder Cards, crafted using ACE in Pokémon Diamond/Pearl.
Doing new research for gen 4. If things work out, this will make for a hell of a story...
