Step 3: Finding TID in Hexidecimal, Finding Candidate SIDs
This will finalize the character creation and set your TID/SID. Now continue through the rest of the file creation until you reach the screen where Birch says "Come see me in my POKEMON LAB." and wait for the timer to again reach zero. As soon as you hear the 6th beep, press A on Emerald. When you're ready, hit start on EonTimer which will kick off a 5 second pre-timer. I'd also recommend opening the EonTimer configuration and making sure it's set to "A/V" mode, which will provide six beeps and flashes of color as the timer nears zero. For the purposes of this write-up, I'll assume you used 1550 like I did. Open EonTimer and choose a value for Target frame, this corresponds to how long you'll have to mash through the rest of the file creation I chose 1550 to give me some breathing room, Choppy used 950 which is about as short as one can reasonably go. The time between when that is pressed and when file completion is complete is something we need to control carefully. Get all the way up to the point where you've typed out your name, move the cursor to "OK", and wait there. You'll need RNG Reporter or Pokefinder (newer, cross platform), both maintained by Admiral-Fish, and a precision timer, the go-to is EonTimer 3.0 by dlymeadows. It's likely both of these could be run through Parallels or similar.

I believe there are Mac versions out there somewhere, I'm just not familiar with them. In order to do this you'll need a couple of Windows programs. I should say first, this only works for fresh files, this method wouldn't work for an existing file. I've included screenshots from Choppy's video (as I don't have an emulator set up) and from the tools used on my laptop. The video is here, I'm only writing this up because I haven't actually seen another written guide, and videos do seem to periodically evaporate off of YouTube.
However, a YouTuber by the name of Choppy came up with a method for determining the SID without the onerous full-odds shiny hunting step. This makes it impossible to arbitrarily choose your trainer ID/secret ID, so the long-standing method of determining SID on Emerald involved finding a naturally occurring shiny pokemon and working backwards from it's IVs, nature, gender, etc to determine the SID for which it is shiny. Unfortunately, the RNG in Emerald in particular (not sapphire or ruby) is "broken", it doesn't take into account the system time / date when seeding the generator, it just always starts with a seed of 0x00.
Wanting to do many of the same things I accomplished in Platinum, I looked around for a way to set my trainer and secret IDs while starting a new file. Recently I picked up a genuine copy of Emerald, which was harder to find and a bit more expensive than I thought it would be. I used this to pick my trainer ID and secret ID (TID/SID) combination, and later to force various encounters to be shiny, eggs to have better IVs, wild pokérus to appear, etc.

The gist of it was that the game seeds it's random number generator using the system date and time, so if one used a good timer and started the game at the correct time, and triggered an event on the correct frame, any desired outcome could be attained.

I spent a little time during 2020 learning how to manipulate the RNG (random number generation) in Pokémon Platinum, a 4th generation game.
