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.

First, the download:

http://artemis251.fobby.net/FEGtrans/FEG_251_translation.ZIP

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.

Thanks for reading~

Hmmm, weird. I'll have to mess around with some different emulators and see what that might mean. Thanks for lettin' me know, though! Sorry I didn't do this sooner for you, haha! Two months back I was workin' on a Link's Awakening Save Editor which also might be good to submit here, but I dunno.

Thanks Spinner8

I actually fooled around with a lot of the save states I had left over from when I finished the game and although it gave me that message I mentioned above, the game seems to work perfectly and I didn't see any errors although I only played with it for a relatively short amount of time.

Hopefully Artemis can find testers for his patch.  The work he did certainly makes the game a lot more fun to play and I think it is a very good game, especially for the NES era.

I love this game, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to play along with the game...  Just not into much gaming at the moment, I'm afraid.

But, I have a bunch of savestates of the game for FCEUltra I used to test out my various hacks before.  I think there's one before every battle/event.  The characters are maxed out and stuff to speed through the game, so it should be easier to get where you need to if a savestate doesn't bump you along.  If you end up needing them, let me know and I'll post them.

Thanks for your work ^_^

Question: I submitted my file here, but it's not showing up and it is no longer in the queue...does that mean it was turned down? Who might I contact about this?

I tried downloading your patch, but the link is broken.

Thanks. I was able to apply the patch and play the game.

I'm trying to work things out with staff. They seem to think it's an addendum to j2e's, but it isn't -- it's an entirely new translation, and I started from scratch when making it. I'll put it back in the queue when I hear back from staff.
