Fire Emblem Gaiden: Test 1

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!

For those who want the patch to play, go here:

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...?

Group got 2 xp?

What does that mean? It didnt seem like the allies gained exp.

That was in j2e's translation, too, but it just said 'GP'. In any case, what it is is a pool of EXP that gets added to the group's bars after the battle is over. If you've ever noticed members gaining EXP from not battling at all, this is part of what that is. By default, it seems everyone gets a nominal amount (like 5 XP maybe), but with rounds where there's back-and-forth, you can gain much more to that pool of EXP. Just remember that you can't level up with these XP points.

some parts are unfinished and it freezes right before the last boss

anyone know if theres a prepatched rom of this

@BigKlingy In the first two Fire Emblems, critical hit calculations are made before hit calculations, so this allowed critical hits to be triggered, yet remain subject to missing if the RNG let this happen. I believe that from Fire Emblem 3 and onward, critical hits are always guaranteed to hit because they were only calculated if the RNG allowed the attack to hit in the first place.

Enemies can dodge a critical in this game?

[CelicetheGreat]

I thought I remembered discussion finding that it actually didn't give group experience... but whatever it does, it doesn't seem to make much difference regardless :o

I'm lookin' forward to this project--Gaiden's my favorite of the series.  It's even gone through a few dead ROMhacking projects of mine :D

I...never noticed this at all actually. I never even knew about that feature.
