I have a question. I'm not sure if it goes here, but if you have the time, can you help me a small bit?

I added the patch to my ROM of the game, and attempted to add a header to the ROM, but instead of starting the process, SNEStool just said "Wrong File Size!". I haven't a clue what to do.

[VincentASM]

You should add/remove the header first, before applying the patch.

That said, I wouldn't think you'd get a "wrong file size" error by doing what you did. What file size is your ROM anyway (in bytes)?

[SorenThePichu]

Oh, I see. Thank you.

Before adding the patch, my ROM is 131,072 bytes. After adding the patch, it's 12,856,320 bytes.

[VincentASM]

Hmm, something's definitely not right there. Your ROM should be 3,146,240 bytes (3.00 MB) to begin with. After patching, it should become 4,194,816 bytes (4.00 MB).

Is your ROM file a .smc file? Also, can you play it OK without the translation patch?

[SorenThePichu]

I just tested it - whether the ROM has been patched or not, it still comes up with an error screen. And yes, it was a .SMC file.

[VincentASM]

Okay, that sounds like a bad ROM or maybe you failed to download the entire ROM for some reason. You should try obtaining the ROM from a different location.

Im getting the same problem as most people here. The patches are succesful, but i start to play and the battle scene jacks up. Its sits there still playing the music looking like colorful crap. Neither patches work, its an SMC file, I'd be greatful if u could just post .SRM/ SMC file up here so we can just download it and play. It'd be so much easier. Im pretty sure we all'd love it.

Not allowed.

Anyway, are these being tested on a PC emulator like SNES9x and not something like an emulator on DS, PSP or such?

Either you have a bad ROM, or you aren't attempting to emulate the game via your PC or Wii. On all of the handhelds, no SNES Fire Emblem game works well enough to play.

[Zac]

hmm. i havent tried it on my comp. and yes, theyre all fit t play on handhelds. I have Tharcia 776, Geanology of HW, all of em except PoR, Radiant Dawn, and the DS one because there are no emulators for those yet. could u point me to a plce to get a snes emulator? I could probbly put the save game i use if it works onto my iPod. ive done it before, via SSH

No, I havent tried it on PC, Im using it on iPod. Someone point me toward an emulator plz. My others work fine, except the nes ones. It scrambles, but its definetly playable. Yes, I IPS'd it with snes-tool. theyre only illegal if you dont own the game, btw. U must own both system and game, which I do. Thing is, my snes broke and I'd like to read it in english. Thats why Im doing this.

That's a common misconception. ROMs are only legal if you dump them from the cartridge yourself. Obtaining a ROM through any other means (such as downloading it from the internet) is illegal regardless of whether or not you own the game.

[Zac]

Ahh. Thank you. Ok, I got SNES9K and it works. Now lets try the other one...

[Phoenix Wright]

You could actually emulate the DS on your computer. It's not possible anywhere else.

[Zac]

Not even da ipod? If someone could search how to edit it so i could emulate it on my ipod for snes4iphone. I need some help. I can play the unpatched one, even bloxors patch. This one doesnt work... For what reason, I dont know. Id really appreciate it.

[VincentASM]

This FE3 patch is probably trickier to emulate since it utilises some additional complicated coding, which the actual SNES should be able to handle, but some emulators might not, since they don't emulate the SNES close enough.

If all else fails, you might have to play with the battle animations switched off. I unfortunately had to suggest that to somebody who was trying to play it on their PSP.

[Emperor Hardin]

If you've already applied a patch to your rom, it may be difficult to get to work.

[Zac]

Battle animations turned off is a great idea. Although... The battles again Meduith and maybe Garnehf would be cool...Oh well. U worked hard on this patch, Ill do it. K, Im gonna patch it again. Anybody know how to work a N64iPhone for 2g, 3.1.3 iPod? Im trying to get Ocarina of Time, the BEST zelda game evah. Can't. (T^T) oh well. Ill try later.

[jdpfeifer]
