How To Hack Fire Emblem Roms Part 1

[TheNoobcrewTV1]

will the FE7 modules work with a FE6 Rom w/ english patch?

[omologo95]

I tried to count how many times you said "Edit" or "Edited". It was way too many times ._.

Otherwise, nice tutorial :3

[pyschadelicsnakefan1]

what is the program that can run the hacking program

[adarkedninja]

WinZip worked for me

[otcan95]

oh ok i got it fire emblem (venom) file is fire emblem game isn't it? lolz sorry

[otcan95]

where the hell you get fire emblem (venom) file?!?

[beard6]

winrar wont work for me

[Aguayomarco]

where I can download a fire emblem nightmare to work with

[deprece2301]

@Aguayomarco

Did you want the ROM or did you want the Nightmare program? Both should be in the description anyway.

[tzeshern]

@deprece2301 Can I have fe8 with the Nightmare program as well?

[NoticedEnigma]

I cant open any of the nmn files. is there a special way of opening them?

[NexonPlayerNA]

7:20 The top is always male, the bottom's always female. Lemme get that out there right now. - Rofl, I couldn't have said it any better, my friend.

[deprece2301]

@ultimatetrunks1

yes

[Hirothegood]

7zip works just as well as winrar

[PhazonIsAwesome]

deprece2301 thank you so much :D

[PhazonIsAwesome]

LOL, "Shit." XD

[Pluslefanp]

What happens if you decided to change her name. what would you do?

[Thekinggamelon]

The site of GBA central your showing is another one!

[gamerdude535]

Help I downloaded this and got all the modules and i tried opening the nightmare excecutible jar file is this the right file when i try to open it it says could not find the main class and program will exit and it won't work can you help me?

[deprece2301]

@gamerdude535

Did you actually open the files in the nightmare program itself?

[gamerdude535]

@deprece2301 Wait you have to open the other files? or am i opening the wrong one?

[gamerdude535]

@deprece2301 the program wouldn't open i know that you open the modules after the program.

[Straxium]

@deprece2301 @deprece2301 Errm, I used bing instead of Google to search winrar, and my computer just got raped by 8 different viruses. I clicked on the top link like you did, but maybe searching with bing screws it up.

[megamanx2341]

@Straxium dont you even know what bing stands for? it stands for Bing Is Not Google XD

[Straxium]

@megamanx2341

blah, I meant I didn't really think it would have different results if I searched with Bing, but besides that it's most likely because the video is 2 years old.

Bing Is Not Google... XD

[TheCyanYoshi]

@megamanx2341 Correction. Bing: Because it's not Google.

[SnoogleDumplings]

Uhm when I change a character's growth rates i can't change them back :S, can you help with this?

[Freezeblow]

this is annoying T,T. the tutorial lyn keeps the stat changes and palette changes i give her, but she wont become a different class or use the other stuff I gave her

[Freezeblow]

@Freezeblow the other problem means nothing now (fixed) but I cant seem to change kent and sain in chapter 1

[DanTheMan590]

what you talkin bout error message?

[akeldama931]

when i open my fe7 nightmare modules there arent any nightmare icons to edit stuff in any of the folders

[deprece2301]

@akeldama931

You didn't download everything in the description. I left innovations saying specifically that you need to download that actual nightmare "icon" individually...

[akeldama931]

@deprece2301 oh... well i downloaded everything in the description already though. was the nightmare icon in the description?

[deprece2301]

@akeldama931

Yes. It is the link with the "IMPORTANT PROGRAM" besides it

[akeldama931]

w/e guess it doesnt work with my comp or something. is there any way to disable the tutorial stuff on the prologue chapter? cuz i really want to make lloyd and linus the main lords in my patch. (i dont know how to do it though)

[deprece2301]

@akeldama931

The directions on doing this are in the description of the second video

[akeldama931]

@deprece2301

do you know how to edit any text in the game? and how to insert different characters in different conversations? Say if in chapter 11 when dorcas and barte are talking if i could change the portraits of the characters who are talking?

[deprece2301]

@akeldama931

Yea I do. All of that is about text editing... It is complicated... I really don't want to get into it... sorry...

[akeldama931]

@deprece2301

it's ok dude. thanks for the help though

[rrtkddigimon0]

@deprece2301

can you put espanish subs please?i can´t speak very english

[deprece2301]

@rrtkddigimon0

Sorry but I don't speak Spanish very well... I can't help you there...

[firejack126]

@deprece2301 so your last link for the rom itself doesn't take me to the actual rom. it takes me to some odd search engine by hostmonster. Is that the spot where you got your version of the rom?

I found a rom, but it said that my rom and the modules were not compatible also...

[deprece2301]

@firejack126

No it's not suspose to do that. I haven't hacked anything in about a year so I don't really know what to do about it. You wil just have to search for it in google or something. Sorry that I'm no help now.

[deprece2301]

@fire9gamer

You needed to download the actual nightmare program which I put in the description. Once you get it drag the module of choice over the program's Icon.

[HaseoTheTwilight]

Can you link me to the Modules you used please? I can't find them, and the ones you used, I think, are the best I've seen.

[deprece2301]

@HaseoTheTwilight

1st link in the descriptions = modules

[meerpud]

every time i try to open up one of the folders, it says its installing Winrar and wont open it up. help?

[deprece2301]

@meerpud

Is Winrar installed? YOU NEED IT! IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT INSTALL IT!

[meerpud]

@deprece2301 Winrar is installed, and a weird icon shows up

[meerpud]

@deprece2301 Winrar is installed, but it won't let me open the files from my desktop

[deprece2301]

@meerpud

Did you extract the files using Winrar?

[meerpud]

@deprece2301 yea, and when i click them on my desktop, it wants to open and reinstall Winrar everytime

[deprece2301]

@meerpud

Wow... that is weird... I don't know what to tell you... -_-

[tuyyyyy]

ok quick question do you know where i can get the complete lists of all the items like for each weapon ability and watnot

[tuyyyyy]

ooooo so i dnt have to edit the chapter that they appear in thats prolly why erk appears messed up in ch.5 thanks bro

[tuyyyyy]

got a problem bro everytime i edit erk the game freezes so I dnt kno how to edit erk and serra without freezing the game. And no I didint do out landish things all i did was juss edit erks stats a lil and give him a different weapon and bam the game freezes everytime. So how do i edit erk and serra and not make the game freeze

[deprece2301]

@tuyyyyy

Oh because you didn't let the game run it's course. I bet that your Erk kills the enemy right? This will freeze your game since Erk is suppose to attack him again but he is already dead.

[tuyyyyy]

@deprece2301

no not that it freezes as soon as i get to the world map erk for sum reason is alreadi blue running up to the field with the rest of lyns group instead of being with serra in the mountains

[deprece2301]

@tuyyyyy .

o_O

I have seen a lot of glitches and such in this game but I have NEVER seen that.. I wish I could help...

[tuyyyyy]

@deprece2301 well answer me this wat all do i have to edit to juss change the weapons and stats a little bit that maybe can help me because i prolly edited it wrong.

[deprece2301]

@tuyyyyy

There should be an item editor. Go there and you can change the power of the weapon. Even the range of the weapon.

[tuyyyyy]

@deprece2301

no i mean wat all in nightmare do i have to bring up module wise to onli edit chars stats and the weapons they are holding

[deprece2301]

@tuyyyyy

Character Editor for stats.

Chapter Editor for items they are holding

[tuyyyyy]

@deprece2301

no not that erk is entering the map with lyns group as a blue unit instead as a npc unit and then the game freezes

[deadlockedd12]

man how come my module won't work on nightmare? the rom wil, how do u open the mods with nightmare?

[deprece2301]

@deadlockedd12

Drag the module over the nightmare program.

[zacthebunnyhero]

hey thx for the vid i got everything working but there;s still one thing i need help with... how do u play the rom?

[deprece2301]

@zacthebunnyhero

Cool. On the Visual Boy Advance. Google it and it should pop up easily.

[zacthebunnyhero]

okay i downloaded everything so when i go inot nightmare it lets me open the rom but i cant figure put how to play it, and when i try 2 open up a module the one i downlaoded isnt there what do i do?

[zacthebunnyhero]

you posted 2 links to download nightmare, do u download both or just one of them?

[deprece2301]

@zacthebunnyhero

Both. One of them is the modules and one of them is the actual program. I thought the program came with the 1st link but it didn't so I added another link for the program.

[PivotRulez157]

How to change colors pallete on sacred stones?

[deprece2301]

@PivotRulez157

It's the same but you use FE8 Modules

[PivotRulez157]

Ok thanks

[Aronmarines24]

ur freakin directions make no sense

[deprece2301]

@Aronmarines24

Find another video then. It made sense to many other people. Maybe someone else can help you.

[Zakdiname]

Yes BTW does this work On a laptop

[deprece2301]

yes

[Zakdiname]

It saysthat " this module and this rom are not compatible " what do I do?

[deprece2301]

Did you extract the files?

[Zakdiname]

What site is the ROM on

[deprece2301]

The 3rd link in the description.

[ssbb756]

Everything before just suddenly stopped happening, it's all seeming to work...

But now when I try to open the ROM on my Visualboyadvance, it says: "Error reading image 2215 - Fire emblem the sacred stones (E) (Rising Sun).gba

Any ideas?

[deprece2301]

@ssbb756

That's tough since I have no idea what ROM is compatible with it...

[ssbb756]

Oh... I didn't even thik of that...

Shit... I will go on emuparadise and try to find some other ROM.

But are you sure that having the wrong ROM would stop my VBA from loading the game?

Usually it just loas the gme, but now, i give me the messag if I try to loadthe hackd ROM.

[deprece2301]

@ssbb756

That is different. My only experience with that is that you hacked the game and made a grave error in the game which messed it up to the point of where it can't play. I have done that before.

[ssbb756]

I knowI must be reeally annoying since I keep asking questions.

But I got a different ROM, this time wen I tried to mess with Eirka's class nd stats, nothing happened.

[deprece2301]

@ssbb756

So you were actually able to get into Nightmare? If so you probably didn't go to File- Apply Changes After you finished Erika's stats.

[ssbb756]

I just click enter, don't I?

[deprece2301]

@ssbb756

Yes that works. You can do the other way just to be save.

[ssbb756]

Is that all I have to do?

What about the linking modules o rom thing, and assosiating nmmm file

[deprece2301]

@ssbb756

"Reading Image?"

NEVER have heard of that at all... Why would it be an image? That makes ZERO sense to me... -_-

[deprece2301]

@ssbb756

?

That's new to me... It seems your running into problems that I never had before....

[Unbeatable99]

The Base Stats are the characters Bases + the classes bases.

But you probably knew that since your farther in your hack

[deprece2301]

@Unbeatable99

The base stats are actually the base stats of the class, not the character. There are actually no character bases... well.. nevermind. I guess there is. Wait... I pretty much just said the same thing you said...

[Unbeatable99]

It's the character's Base Stats + the Classes Base Stat.

So if you want to make every Myrm have +2 strength, change the Myrm's Bases.

But if you want to change Guy's Bases change his Bases in the Character Editor.

To Change a Class' Base goto Class Editor.

Correct?

[deprece2301]

@Unbeatable99

yep

[ssbb756]

I am going to have problems with this (nt your fault) so exect LOTS OF COMMENTS, sorry.

BTW wha do you use for photo editing?

[Unbeatable99]

You need the FE8 modules, to hack FE8.

[ssbb756]

Will this work for FE8?

[lwnthoj1]

where can i find the FE7 hack mod?

[deprece2301]

@lwnthoj1

what are you talking about?

[blazejoker619]

also where is link to where you download FE7 modules at? where you go it from the video

[deprece2301]

@blazejoker619

The modules are in hte first link in the description

[blazejoker619]

when i open up winrar i cant find that fe7 module

[MegiddoForce]

A very easy to understand tutorial! Thanks

[MrSam663]

okay then another question how do you make it not tutuorial and not have to heal after you fight the first bandit because in your part 2 video you didnt have to heal and you could end the turn but when i play i cant

[Unbeatable99]

Give the character a Stat boosting item or Mine instead.

[MrSam663]

idk what i did

its not that it wouldnt hit its that the bandit didnt hit me its hit % was 28 or somethin like

idk how to change that

[deprece2301]

@MrSam663

?

Well that's new... I have no idea how to fix that... sorry...

[MrSam663]

thanks for this tutorial

it was helpuful but i have a problem

i got everything i needed but when i play the rom it freezes when lyn has to use vulnerary but she doesnt because she didnt get hit

can you help me?

[deprece2301]

@MrSam663 Lyn should ALWAYS get hit in the tutorial. The question is did you put Lyn's Defense so high that it did no damage or did you take out the vulnerary. Things MUST play out correctly in the tutorial or it will freeze.

[Thechosendude509]

my computer doesnt know which program to do the customizer in.

[deprece2301]

@Thechosendude509

I don't understand what you mean...

[DiGiLuVr322]

sorry one more question is there a certain program i need to use to use FEeditor b/c i cant seem to use it... im using vista... and thnx for the answer :D

[deprece2301]

Google FEditor Advance and it will be the second link.

[DiGiLuVr322]

also how do you change a classes name like you have in that one hack that his class is "Dark Mage" and how do you change their names?

[DiGiLuVr322]

do you know how to change the maps?

i want to make a whole new game not just a couple new characters and different quotes...

[deprece2301]

nope sorry I don't. The names and stuff though I do. Google FEditor Advance. This is what I use and the person who made this made the directions and program very simple compared to other programs. I don't really have the time to make a tutorial on how to edit text but I'll probably get to it eventually.

[RicharddYang]

thank you very much, but i have one question, in your other videos you hacked the names and descriptions of your characters. How do you do that???

[deprece2301]

oh yea. nightmare can't do that. Google FEditor. That is how I did it. I'm not going to explain it because I'm lazy... (sorry... just am) The directions in it are pretty self explanatory. I might actually make a small tutorial for it since many people are asking about it.

[RicharddYang]

alright thanks

[Bernard0512]

OK im using Nightmare for FE8 so its probably the same i have a few tweeks i want to make to the game.

1. I want to turn Eirika into Lyn's class complete with the promotion into BLADE LORD(this is two problems in one)

2 I know how to change class but when i do so it turns everyone of that class into the new class???? Maybe you can help if not ill found out someway thanks.

[deprece2301]

1. your stepping into something else besides nightmare. FEditor. The newest version has it where you can take a battle sprite out of one game and put it in another.

2. there is a way to fix this but i'm unsure sorry.

[CommanderK15]

and it also says that the venom thing is incomplete or some crap like that

[deprece2301]

I have no idea what your talking about

[CommanderK15]

what do you do to get to the part where the little box pops up and u change it to Winrar.exe

[deprece2301]

Do you have Winrar on your computer? I specifically said to google this and download it if you don't have it..

[CommanderK15]

i did the description and stuff, and I got to the part where u get the stuff on the desktop, then what do i do

[CommanderK15]

and how to i get to that goldenemblem page in the first part

[deprece2301]

that link is broken, so I put a new link in the description... did you even look at the description? Everything you need is there. It doesn't have to be from the exact page I got it from...

[CommanderK15]

how do u do all of this, i tried to get to the savefile thing, i am so confused, can u help me please?

[deprece2301]

That is not useful at all. Saying, "I'm completely confused please help" doesn't help ME at all. What am I suppose to do to get you on the right path? Be more specific. Plus, this tutorial should be pretty easy to follow.

[DevlMayCri1]

actually, ive tried it, it doesn't work. i can change everything else like character names and dialogue.give me an example for the prologue. are you

[deprece2301]

you need to search for the chapters. Type in the chapter's name in the search bar.

[DevlMayCri1]

alright thnks

[DevlMayCri1]

how did you change the title, like on the shadow sage demo. the chapters

[deprece2301]

oh. I used a text editor for that. Google FEdtior Advance. I'm not planning on doing a tutorial right now so I might not be that much help on that. Sorry.

[Lordashmalander]

There is a problem...When i unziped the files, the NMM Files,I cant open them. How do i get the NMM files to open correctly?

[deprece2301]

I'm assuming your talking about how you can't open the Modules. That is what the nightmare file is for. (which is the 1st link in the description) Just drag the module you want to open over the nightmare program. I did this in the video.

[darkslash96]

roms and modules are not compatible =/

[deprece2301]

Did you download what is in the description? (DO NOT USE YOUR CURRENT ROM) If so then did you unzip the files you downloaded? That is a common problem.

[hidjedewitje]

no prblem for late response and thanx but i got all nmm of fe 6-7-8

but thanx

[Bertanius]

hey deprece, can u help me? im trying to make a hack of fe8, and i can change alot of things but i cannot change the colors of the in game battle sprites (their always default blue with brown hair)

[deprece2301]

you don't have to post 2 comments and send me a message. I'll see it when I get on. lol. Anyway. Part 2 of my video shows you how to do this.

[Bertanius]

hey i cannot change the in battle sprites, they are always the default blue with brown hair, btw i am using the fe8 modules

[XenosagaIIIfan]

thank you greatly!

[Necrofyed]

which file is the first file that you are downloading i already downloaded everysingle one cept the rom already had it..so basically..which one?

[deprece2301]

Go to the 1st link. I changed it since the old link didn't work. Go to the 1st link and download the GBA modules.

[XenosagaIIIfan]

i got the nightmare & the mods i just need help with all the controls with these progarms

[deprece2301]

that is what part 2 is for. It will teach you how to use it.

[Fireshrine]

Oh, and sorry about not having the actual Nightmare program there before. I didn't know about the issue. Next time contact me. =P

[Fireshrine]

The Nightmare program has been added to the first link too. Just letting you guys know. :D

[deprece2301]

I'm very surprised that you watched this and commented on it. xD

[Fireshrine]

Watched it? No need. Commented it? I'm a hacker, why not? :D

[legorocker12]

THANK YOU

[tehelite]

i found like 2 minutes ago sodon't kill someone to find for me

[tehelite]

the sites under construction or somethin any other links plz

[deprece2301]

That nightmare program is hard to find. It will take me forever to locate it. Check it again tomorrow. If it doesn't work still, I WILL hunt it down and post it in the description for you. I'm just a little tired right now.

[BlackImTheRain]

whats a module

i hit open module and clicked my FE ROM and it says unable to open or what ever

[legorocker12]

me 2

[deprece2301]

>_>

It has been 2 months and I never knew this comment was here. I have just came back to this video because someone asked a question. Sorry about that. Anyway, Download EVERYTHING in the description and follow the directions in the video and it should work. (Including the FE7 ROM)

[BlackImTheRain]

it wont work when i open nightmare and open the rom nightmare is just blank i dont know what to do

[deprece2301]

Did you open a module in nightmare first?

[starfoxman2]

HELP I CAN'T OPEN The PROGRAM

[deprece2301]

[starfoxman2]

[DeathOX2010]

[lolz913]
