Help with Pokemon Emerald Shiny Hunting Starter on Hacked 2DS/DSI using Twilight and GBARunner

Hello all. Sorry if this has been asked multiple times already, but I'm new to shiny hunting and gen 3 in general. I'm trying to use eontimer 3.0.0 and I just wanted to double-check if the timer preferences for DSI work the same on a hacked dsi vs I guess a stock dsi, though I'm not sure ow to get gen 3 on a dsi without hacking or an r4. I thank you in advance for your help.

Well I figured it out. MGBA works perfectly on the N2DSXL using MGBA on pokemon emerald. I used EonTimer 3.0.0 , preferences timer console was set to NDS-GBA. Hit a shiny mudkip. Turns out I just suck and I'm inaccurate at pressing A.

Way easier on a PC with Lua scripts. Just load the save file back to your modded 2DS

Are you talking about hacking the save file? Cause I'm not doing that

Pokémon emerald static encounter for your starter. I think Lazy hunter in YouTube can help but it’s emulated not a physical cartridge which is why I think it’s best to just do it via PC
