Is it possible to use host rng for games? - elmeow3 - 03-14-2023

I was thinking since games like Pokemon Red use a pseudo rng that is obviously dated and restricted by hardware, if it's possible to inject the Windows/Mac/Linux rng into the games rng?

The RNG is hardcoded in the game. There's no RNG hardware, so the only way to do this would be per-game hacking. You could do this with the Lua scripting system, with some dedication.
