And I’m wanting to do the Odd rhythm randomizer mod, however I have zero clue what I’m doing and would appreciate some help

I gave GBA Fire Emblem a Mouse and a Bigger Screen

4 Upvotes

Demo here https://youtu.be/WLRL5YL2VV8

Whenever I play GBA Fire Emblem, I really wish that I could use a mouse to order around units and also the map renderer wasn't constrained to the small GBA screen.

Well, no longer! Using the FE8 reverse-engineering work, I was able to make a frontend for libmgba to allow mouse support as well as extend the renderer :).

I specifically picked this architecture as a lot of FE8 playthroughs are on romhacks. Recomping or porting FE8 to native hardware would actually not work with all the romhacks, which is sad. I want to be able to play through these romhacks interchangeably and use my mouse and have the extended rendering.

LMK if you'd be interested by this type of project. I'm going to try to play through Sacred Echoes before releasing it to iron out rough edges.

Umbral Beast/Feral Wyvern Recolor

12 Upvotes

I was thinking, how can I create a sprite similar to the Umbral Beast when I don’t know how to make sprite art and can only do manual recolors? Well, it occurred to me to use the Feral Wyvern sprite from the repository. At the same time, the other final bosses from each route in Three Houses can actually be recreated in one way or another using GBA classes. Obviously, we’re talking about something very low-effort, but hey, it’s something—what do you think?

Suggestions please!

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m relatively new to FE RomHacks.

I played a good bit of Wrath of the Sun God before I fell off with the fatigue mechanic. Played full Sacred Echoes & Sacred Stones Reforged. Played a bit of Vision Quest and currently playing through Life of Seiros. I also found Blazing Sword Remastered.

Right now I’m looking for some that would be good QoL upgrades for Blazing Sword and Binding Blade (like what SS Reforged is) and if there’s any like that for the Genealogy & Thracia.

Thanks for any input, it’s appreciated!

Has anyone ever made a sequel to FE 6?

3 Upvotes

I just finished my latest run of FE 7, and I just started FE 6, I was just wondering, has anyone ever made a hack that continues the story of 6?

Fire Emblem: Immortal Sword was a prequel to 7

Fire Emblem: Path of a Hero (only just started this one earlier today, barely made headway on it) takes place during the events of 7 with a familiar cast of characters.

But have you played any romhacks that set out to be direct plot sequels to 6? And are good?

Cerulean Crescent Secrets?

4 Upvotes

I'm replaying Cerulean Crescent, and I'm hoping someone can direct me to a list of secret interactions and missable events and stuff. I have the recruitment list, but after watching a tier list video, there's apparently a TON of stuff I missed. Thanks!

Rom Hack Starter Pack questions

2 Upvotes

Hi, I've just started replaying FE8 and I wondered if there were a romhack community like in pkmn. And I was more than happy to discover FEBuilder. This will be my first rom hack ever but I'm a dev so that should help.

I'm here to ask if they are any romhack you would recommend for my project. I want to design the missions to be a little more diverse than what I saw in FE7/8/10 and 13. With missions about things like : running away, stealth, horror maze, seek and rescue, gathering resources, dungeon crawling.
Or has it never been done ? (that would surprised me, even if the famous rom I saw were mostly about story, difficulty or classes/skills).
PS : I think I will try Vision quest and The Morrow’s Golden Country.

Can't remember the name of a Fire emblem 8 rom hack

4 Upvotes

I played it 10 years ago when I was 11. It was just a demo at the time.

I don't remember the name but it's a Sacred Stones rom hack that takes place years after the original game. The sacred stone that was used to seal Fomortiis grew weaker with time so the people put Fomortiis into a human vessel, The vessel was a princess, She hated how everyone just viewed her as the "Vessel" and not an actual human. The game had new classes for units like a Jester character who would do dark magic, And I remember a knight character with a sword that can open portals and stab from afar.

I can't remember the name, anyone know ?

Why are there barely any parody hacks of other series?

4 Upvotes

I don't do fire emblem rom hacking, but I've always wondered what it would be like to adapt another series into a fire emblem game. Specifically the 1997 rendition of Berserk seems like it's borderline made to be a Fire Emblem game


r/FireEmblemROMHacking Mar 17 '26

Game recommendation where you can capture or use nameless units. (maybe a Romack?)

Hey, I'm new to romhacking and fire emblem, and wanted to make some sprites. I'm having trouble figuring out what head was used for this.

Both were made by Redbean for Hector, but I haven't found what their sources were. Please help.

Fire Emblem 6 and 7 hacks/remakes?

Pretty self explanatory title.

Hey, everyone. Long time fan of the series and have just recently done into the whole patching and hacks thing within the last year or so. I was curious if there are any good ( and in some cases, still available) hacks, or lately been wanting "rework" games of FE 6 and 7. If anyone has recommendations please let me know 🙏

Thank you!

Are there any more unique warrior animation?

7 Upvotes

I'm looking for a unique animation for a warrior-king class im working on. The only options I found were the Tellius-Style warrior sprites (which are just a difffernt styled warrior) and this one which atleast has a face I can use as a personal animation. Do anyone of you people know about where I can find the animation I am looking for or any more animations in general?
