Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem Patches

Whee patches?!

My old patch release from board 1 that implements Fire Emblem 9 skills in Fire Emblem 8, as well as allowing for the modification of which classes have which skills of the 4 or 5 skills normally nonexchangeable. That is, some skills can be given to or taken from a class via some bit flags in their class data, while other skills are associated with a class directly in the programming which I had to edit in order to allow other classes to have those skills.

Off the top of my head those skills are Sure Shot, Pick, Slayer, Big Shield, and Pierce. Okay, that last one wasn't off the top of my head; I had to look in my hacking notes to remember it v_V

Anyway, here's the patch, accompanied by a readme thing to make sense of it:

Patch

Read Me

And now a patch for Fire Emblem 7 that allows you to change the experience points received by using a staff. By experience I mean the experience that is used to level up, and not the experience used to develop weapon proficiency.

Note that previously the screwed up programming forced you to change how much each use of the item cost in gold in order to change the experience points you gain. Those two things have nothing in common and so this patch makes sense by separating the bond. The new bytes allocated for experience to be gained are stored at 0x80cb528 ROM.

Patch

And now for my favorite patch, this patch is for Fire Emblem 7 and allows you to decompress the text by typing in the text you would like to use at any address and then changing the pointer of some old compressed text to point to the new uncompressed text, after which you must set the uppermost bit of the address in order to flag the text as already being uncompressed. This way you don't have to recompress the text, which is always a pain.

Patch - Updated as of 4/16/07

FE 8 Anti-Huffman Patch - Updated as of 4/17/07; should be as reliable and useful as the new FE 7 one.

FE 6 Anti-Huffman Patch - Updated to a level of competence as of 4/24/07

Yes. *hands over two trophies, the first says "A Winner is You!" and the other says "You're Winner!"* The hack list is...right above this thread (it's the sticky).

Or I could just gain MORE to make it last longer.

Anti-Huffman Patch for Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki. Works the same as the Rekka no Ken version, of course.

Keep it up! Fire Emblem 6/7/9 are superb. I hope this means someone'll start a patch making Fire Emblem 8 no longer broken and unplayable due to its balance issues.

What balance issues? (FE8 = Sacred Stones, correct?)

Yes, it is.

I think he means the game's too easy.

China FE already took care of that with their Will of Good and Evil patch.

I can't make an FE 6 version of the anti-huffman patch until I either get a hold of the game script or figure out where the text is stored to in the WRAM before it is loaded graphically.

Eaichu and Cyas were working with Twilkitri, but they're nothing more than asses (brothers, who would have guessed) and have left FESS. You could try searching for them, or asking Twilkitri.


Staff

* Script Editors: Eaichu, Jet Enduro, PrinceLeaf
* Technical: Dark Twilkitri
* Translators: FireLizard, Rosa Aquafire, DarkSlime
* Graphics: DarkTwilkitri, PrinceLeaf

People hoped for years that Nintendo would deign to release Fire Emblem 6: Fuuin No Tsurugi (FE6) on shores outside of Japan.

Does anyone have the leila patch for FE7? Someone hacked it awhile ago and made leila a playable character, apparently she was pretty good too, that would be fun.

For something simple like that you might as well use a Codebreaker/Gameshark/etc code. Although that could be included in a hack that does other stuff I suppose.

I actually found where FE 6 loads text into the WRAM today.

I forgot that it was 2 bytes per character from being japanese at one time, so it wasn't until today that I had the energy to use the memory viewer's dumping functions and a hex editor with diff functionality to find the damned text.

If anyone cares it's loaded to 0x2029404.

I don't see much point in making an Anti-Huffman patch what with all the grotesque character values. ASCII is dead.

Well we can make a table for ourselves but I really don't want to have to explain using a table to the helpless people over at FESS :\

Why would you explain something to video game characters who don't actually exist in the real world and therefore cannot hear/answer you?

Don't be ridiculous. FESS is a forum.

If they learned that you thought they were ignorant lifeless video game characters they'd probably cry and beat you up.

FESS could stand for Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones too y'know.

It's Fire Emblem Sanctuary of Strategy. I'm a member there, but I haven't visited in ages (should do that later today, maybe...) Some members do patches on the FE series. In fact, I was going to do a patch for FE: Gaiden myself until I hit an enormous roadblock (that kept even the experienced hackers from accomplishing anything).

Hey, but I can understand your confusion. I get confused sometimes, myself.
