Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

I have been attempting to RNG manipulate Pokémon Diamond with Eon Timer. Through several attempts, it functioned perfectly, but it now beeps a random number of times at random intervals, rendering it nearly useless. I have tried to change different settings, delete and redownload it, to no effect.
I haven't experienced that issue, but you can try using this online version that doesn't require a download, it's what I've been using: https://not-an-aardvark.github.io/rng-timer/
 
how did the pokemon center 5th anniversary eggs determine which pokemon and which move were given out? did it use the rng, and if so which advance?
Internally each one is a separate Wonder Card, with the RNG happening in the distribution process (namely for which you got) at the time, so it'd be a standard event RNG while also just manually picking the egg (or more specifically the Wonder Card), assuming you have the Wonder Card data.

great, thanks; so if i understand correctly every possible seed generates a possible spread for each pokemon/move combination? eg any of the possible mons could have the pid etc given by a seed of 0?
 
Well, not all spreads are possible within the RNG, as it's limited to about 4 million possible combinations from what I recall, but on the other hand that shouldn't be much of an issue if you can afford slightly different IVs, but ultimately that's something you'd want to ask the RNG app you'd be using for this. As for the moves, again, there's a separate Wonder Card for each move combination, rather than that being decided by the in-game RNG.
 
to my understanding this event has an issue with the seed generation such that there are only 0x10000 possible spreads. this is actually why i ask, because i play a tier where wish salamence is viable and there aren't that many good spread/nature combos with 0x10000 possible spreads - and if some of those spreads always produced, say, iron defense bagon or wish ralts there would be even fewer.
