Current progress

Patch (zipped):
Fe3.zip

Missing:

• Stats for the class scroll

Buggy:

• Various small graphical things.

Complete:

• Everything else.

Fire Emblem 3 translation patch, I'm hacking, Vincent's translating, and Cleteromagos and AceNoctali provided some much-needed translations as well. Additional editing help provided by Devon_v and KiddoCabbusses. Nearly all the text is translated, and nearly everything that's translated is in the game.

New Patch (6/21, version 0.98):
New script revision! As always, credit goes to Vincent, who had help from Devon_v and KiddoCabbusses editing.

I knew I kept forgetting to do something. Anyway, if RPGuy96 comes here, I'll probably make them the topic creator instead.

Oh goodie. Nice to have a new thread for it.

I want to ask - I tried the 1.1 patch version I used to test the translation itself on my ROM copier, but apparently on that the command menus and battle screens glitch up and scramble. Is this some real-hardware specific issue, or am I doing something wrong that the emulator doesn't note...?

It's probably the ROM file itself that's the problem; I remember this happened to me when I applied the translation patch to FE4. Try a different ROM file and see what happens.

[Kiddo]

I guess I'll try it with the 1.0 patch, particularly since no one's ever been able to tell me what the differences were. Thanks for the tip, I'll see if it gives a good result.

(As for FE4, I can't get that to boot at all. The only one I got to play exactly as it does as if emulated is Thracia).

[Kiddo]

Hmm. No luck. a Completely different ROM gives an identical result.

It must be something else.

When I said ROM, I meant the file itself, not the patch.

What happened with me was this: I downloaded one version of the FE4 ROM and applied the translation to that, but the text got all garbled up. So then I downloaded a different ROM file and applied the same patch to it and it worked fine.

I'm not sure if you understood me properly there.

[Kiddo]

That's exactly what I meant. ;

(EDIT: Also, blast it. After all my tries FE4 finally spew ed out it's Copy protection message. Aw, well.)

Oh, okay then. In that case, I'm not quite sure how to help. Sorry.

[Kiddo]

Well, I've been trying to think of things that might help. I put in the original Japanese ROM and it works fine, so it's not like there's an inherent ROM copier incompatibility....

I'm honestly pondering if it's a problem with it running on real hardware. Who were the other folks who tested this on such and what was their setup? I got a Super UFO PRO 7 34M.

[gundersmoot]

I got nothing but garbage for both of these patches. Neither of them seems to work.

[gundersmoot]

What I think it might be is that this rom is lacking a header.

[VincentASM]

SNESTool can add a header back on. There might be some other programs that can do the same.

[GrandMaster]

Wow i find it !!

Long time i search patch for FE3

Thanks advance !!

[Aozaki Touko]

This is weird, but I have about 8 different releases of the FE3 ROM and this patch doesn't work with any of them in ZSNES or snesx9

in the rom file name the differences are stuff like (h1)(b1)(h2), etc... I assume the H stands for header, but it's not working with any of them.

[VincentASM]

I have no clue why you'd need eight different releases. I'm guessing there's times two for the two versions of the game, and another times two for the headers, as you mentioned. No clue what the other factor could be though.

The only thing I can really suggest is download the ROM from somewhere else. There shouldn't be a shortage of places that distribute SNES ROMs.

[Aozaki Touko]

Eh, I've tried three separate sources, I'll search for more

[Luftwaffe]

I used snes tools and gave the rom a header then got it patched. The fucking thing freezes at the map right after the intro. The music keeps playing though.

[VincentASM]

Did the game work fine after it had the header added and before it was patched?

If it does work fine, what filetype is your FE3 ROM? Eg. .SMC

[Luftwaffe]

nvm, i've gotten it to work.

[calculuswhiz]

It's also missing the non-battle-animation levelup/item obtained/item broken notifier.
