Shiny Starter Pokemon on Fire Red using a GBA Emulator on Android

I'm running Pokemon Fire Red on an Android phone using "My Boy!" emulator. Is it possible to get a shiny starter pokemon (Charmander) by reseting the game everytime I choose the starter pokemon? (I saved the game right before chosing it).

I made this question because I read on the Internet that it's not possible to get a shiny starer pokemon by reseting the game if you're using an emulator, because the interal code that determines whether if a pokemon is shiny or not does never reset.

Is it possible to get a shiny starter in Pokemon Fire Red?

This post deals with a technique I have developed which allows you to aquire a shiny starter by abusing the RNG in Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen (in the U.S. and German versions). This method was specially designed to work on cartridges and emulators.

[Gen II] For anyone who plays on an emulator and wants to shiny hunt, I can confirm that you CAN get shiny starters AND encounter a random shiny within the game.

Shininess is determined by values inherent in the pokemon, so shinies are just as likely in an emulator.
