EDIT3; I know it does run, but on one patch it doesn't load, and on the other 2 once I move a char the game freezes. It only works normally if I don't use a patch
For patching FE5 (if the game name has NP in it that means use the patch that says NP) If it dosen't have NP that means use the Rom one IDK about the v-rom one though and to patch it put the patch where your game is and rename the patch to the name of your game. To do that right click your rom file go to rename copy it then go to the patch name go to rename and paste. If that dosen't work you might need a new rom probably, or that don't work then wait for Vincent sorry.

Does anyone know anything about the Tear-Ring Saga patch that was supposedly in progress? This site has been dead now for some time, and there has not been discussion since 2007, so I assume it never got off the ground or was a hoax.
I apologise if I'm not allowed to necropost a sticky topic, but I was interested if anyone knew anything.

I assume that particular group never found a translator : /
There have a few other translation projects (one of which I saw had actual ingame chapters translated), but I don't know what's happened to any of them.
In any case, there's also a partial translation script by FireLizard, which you can find at GameFAQs. It hasn't been updated for a few years though, but I seem to recall almost half of the game has been translated. Or was it a quarter?

Tear Ring Saga is currently in development. Please do not ask about the status of this project unless you are willing to provide Japanese translation support.
Oh yeah, I'm not sure if it's known here, but Gaiden's been getting some translation attention.
A first peek at my translation of the game Fire Emblem Gaiden. I probably should have put it on easy mode to show level-up stuff, but oh well!
As of now, what remains is mostly injecting and fixing the NPC Dialogue. However, there are some smaller things I need to find in the game. One can be seen here -- it changes the 'Name' column header to gibberish. Now where the heck is that coded...?
He's asking for testers to help out before a final release.
Hey, everyone. Somewhat of a new face here, but I just finished a retranslation of Fire Emblem Gaiden for the NES. Before submitting it to the site, I'd like some people to go through it to perhaps catch things that I could not.
*snip*
Inside the ZIP are 3 patches: 1 for the Japanese ROM, one for j2e's attempt, and another for StarWolf's fix of some of j2e's problems.
What's new:
Translated all of the stuff j2e didn't, including some NPC speech, battle dialogue, and the credits.
Fixed names and items to fit the space alotted so that things don't disappear in menus and magic doesn't freeze the game.
Provided better text flow control than j2e.
Made a better title screen.
Here's a preview video:
Anyway, I found quite a few oddities as I translated. There are discrepancies here and there, which is why I'd like some people to help search out what I couldn't find.
As an example, there are lion statues all over the game that allow you to up stats. Every statue but one reads an argument for the stat's name when saying that your character gained that stat. The single place that didn't follow this had its text hard-coded in for some reason.
Anyway, I hope I can get a little help here, as it's hard to find anyone willing anywhere else, I'd think. Hopefully this thing can be fixed into a decent translation!
One final note for those playing: Hold Start and Select when picking a File to start your game at. You can then pick Easy Mode, which doubles XP gained and allows item trading between the two main parties for free.
I am trying to hard patch the game Fire emblem 8 prototype(cuz my emulators dont support soft) it patched but when i try to run the game the first emulator i try just sits there with a blank white screen.
The second one dose the same but is smart enough to tell me that the emulation has crashed. I dont know if its cuz the games format is in .srl or if it just dosnt work for this version. Plz help.
Thats wut you were talking about I was trying to use the English patch to hard-patch the Japanese version of the game. I can't soft-patch it cuz its a .srl file and the only gba emulators that read .srl don't work on soft-patching right now I'm getting feedback on the site that gave me the file on how to chaing that but your help is still nice. I hope this info can help I'm not actually good at explaining stuff. lol

Its alright, I was sort of in a hurry before so I didn't realise I hadn't properly explained myself ^^;;;
You need to use the American version of the game/ROM. The patch will change it to the Japanese Prototype version.
Also, it probably doesn't matter anymore, but .SRL and .GBA files are the same thing (I think .SRL is the official name though). You can just remove the .SRL extension and change it to .GBA.
Ya thats wut the other site suggested but my comp wont let me by normal means so I'm gunna try in notepad thx I'll have to find another translator I had no idea it was a E-J translator. *facepalm* Should have read the form more in depth.
