When you want to make a MU that of course has no shield, and works online... What do you do? I have attempted to add some MU into the game, however it crashes. Basically I copy the Hex of the MU into the generic units. That did not work. I also attempted to export and import... That also did not work. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. Thank you. :)

Alright, here it is, DLC extdata, includes both English and undub, as well as the fe14unit files for the units, some units scale base on your progress, these units will have whatever stats they would have should you have gotten them on chapter 7, others have static stats.

Anyways, just make a backup of your own extdata before using this!

late reaction, but this seems to not work for me, although @Ezehokadrim's works fine? odd

I'm having an error.
"This is not a valid Fire Emblem Fates save file."
Now, granted, I have the game digitally and I can't get a save manager to cooperate with extracting it off my SD card, but I went RIGHT to where the save data is located and loaded it from there. It's recently saved at "My Castle" ingame right when you unlock. What's going on?

did you just rip the sav out of your sdcard without extracting it?

That's the problem, the save managers I tried freeze attempting to load it, the bottom screen remains red and nothing else happens. I've tried with two different save managers, and they both freeze with red screens. I dunno if I'm using the wrong save manager or what, all I have is homebrew access, no CFW due to firmware 11.

youre probably just using the wrong save managers, as I'm also on 11 with just homebrew and I can extract just fine

Try using JKSM (if you aren't already) and/or following this.

What save manager are you using? Maybe I can give it a try.

EDIT: I've tried using save_manager and JKSM, they both give red screens on the bottom screen and do nothing. Just tried SVDT, and that didn't work either. Same result.

EDIT 2: I download the mmap thing, placed it on my SD card where it belongs, but I still get a red screen on my bottom screen and nothing happens afterwards. Am I doing something wrong? (Remember, I did buy the game digitally, dunno if that affects it.)

I'm using a digital copy as well, so it's not like digital copies don't work.
Try installing the latest version of the Homebrew starter pack off of the Homebrew launcher site. Then try JKSM again (that's what I'm using, at least).

I believe the .xml for digital American Fates is 004000000179600.xml
EDIT: You can actually check which xml you need by making a backup of your save (through the 3DS menu).

What should I do with the other xml files in the mmap folder? Leave them?

Edit: Just got an idea, that I doubt will work. I'll make a backup of my save and try loading that one in the editor, along with attempting JKSM again.
Update: Tried running JKSM again with Fates Birthright as it's target, it froze again with a red bottom screen. Attempting to load the system generated backup file doesn't work either. Same not valid error. (Attempting to load it from a save based in "My Castle" if that changes anything.)

Each game uses a different xml file, you only need one per game. You can get rid of the other ones, as long as you have the ID for American!Digital Fates in the mmap folder.
If you happen to own any physical copies, then you can go here to learn what their title ID's are (and which xml file you need). For digital copies, you can create a system generated backup to learn what their title ID is.

Loading a system generated backup will never work. You need to extract it using a save manager like JKSM. Saving at My Castle or when deploying units on a map should also both work.

Did you update your Homebrew by getting a new version from the launcher site? That's the only advice I can give, to be honest.

I'm using the absolute latest that I know of. I homebrewed it about a couple days back, and the latest was what you linked to me, so it matched.
I'll try what you suggested though. I should be able to find it quite easily.
Just to confirm, the title xml for Fates is in the mmap folder. I run JKSM and it should work this time hopefully. I extract it, edit it, and then import it and all should be good, hopefully.
Update: JKSM still gives red bottom screen and it doesn't do anything after that.

I believe all digital versions of Fates are categorized under "Birthright", as in, they share the same Title ID as the Birthright Cartridges.

The xml I'm attempting to use, and this is after verifying it with a backup of my save data on my SD card made by the system is 0004000000179400.xml which... I believe is the right one,

So I pressed that curious little question mark button in the Megacheats section of the editor and thought I was gonna get a randomized run, as I saw of the units in the left shown with random classes. The thing is that the file appears corrupted, which kinda sucks. It won't load if chosen in Fates, and upon reloading the edited save in the editor, it won't open, it throws an exception.
Sadly, I don't know what this exception is. Does anyone know how to get randomized Fates using the editor?
