I'm preparing Hard Mode TAS. Verification movie is in progress; I'm almost at the end of Part 3.
I watch RNG addresses 804CB550-804CB555. They cycle when select enemy on diagonal on map, and when choosing a merchant in base menu.
What is the RNG formula? Is there any other info that can help? Thanks!
Edit: lapogne36's FE9 TAS description has some RNG info,

Edit2: Verification complete. My goal for the initial RNG value is to get Micaiah to critical, and for Edward to critical the enemy blocking his path during the enemy turn. I am currently hex editing the initial clock, brute force incrementing one second at a time and retesting. Going from hex 0000 to 0200 (512 attempts) I found six instances where Micaiah (stated 3% chance) gets a critical. Of those, none yet also have Edward getting a critical (Stated 9% chance x 2).
Edit3: Continued brute force time adjust to 02A0 (672). Reviewed each of 8 instances where Micaiah got critical: There were two forks, one where Edward gets hit 2 times (all with same RNG), and one where Edward dodged both times (All with same RNG, different than when he's hit). Apparently Edward also getting a critical is not possible with any available starting seed, **assuming** I tested them all. Cycling the RNG before saving the verification movie had no impact. It looks like I'll just have to go with the best of selection currently, which is Eddie getting hit twice for quicker Wrath activation. (Yes, I plan on using him extensively again).
