ROM Hack [WIP] Fire Emblem Fates Randomizer

[JMDBS]

I dumped with braindump it's a physical cartridge of birthright and I think it's named correctly.....

I fixed the issue of characters not showing up, but now I'm crashing on chapter 4 repeatedly. I replaced A004 in m -> @E with the original file, and it's still not working.

Are you doing any other difficulty other than normal? Lunatic and hard seem to crash the game on early chapters but normal works fine.

Read up on 3ds.guide if you want to install custom firmware

My SD Card (Got a new one for 3ds with way more space than 2 gig, the original 1 has like 500 blocks left dunno if that will cut it) isnt the MBR standard that decrypt9 says that it needs, what do i do if i wanna run decrypt9? (I have a backup justin case for the sd, not the 3ds however)

 

[JennaZant]

This has consistantly crashed all the goddamn time. I've made it 6 chapters past where I just was and I'm crashing again at the end of Chapter 10 in Revelation. I feel like I've done something wrong, or it just doesn't seem to like my 2ds/the digital version of fates

I don't understand question if you're asking if your SD card and will work as long as it had 4GB it should work.
EDIT: Reread again, you will most likely need to buy a new SD card as it isn't the right format and am unsure if you can change the format sorry.

If you are using HANS instead of NTR the original post state that digital copies do not work well with HANS.

I'm using NTR :\

Only other suggestion I have is wait for a more stable release, does it crash when chapter loads or when you take certain actions?

 

[Redbit]

Well I'll just report a few things.


Firstly the cutscene and model swap issue mentioned by JennaZant is fixable since it's likely some files were not compressed after randomization.
EDIT: Although I didn't read your new messages so yeah...


Secondly, Digital version crashes at chapter 6. Going through the steps to fix it later on as I have a previous engagement atm.

Well, i Ran the program and it extracted just fine actually, then i ran into a wall with the romfs extractor. It said the .3ds file wasnt a valid romfs binary, insights? (just did a basic dump of everything, no shaved or anything just the entire thing

You need to extract it to a .CIA not a .3ds and then use Asia81's tools to extract the .romfs from the .CIA, there is a guide in this section on doing it.

It crashes during chapter loads and character loads (for instance, it crashed when Leo/Laslow for me comes in during chapter 10.)

 

[Redbit]

Well apparently that crash killed a few things. (chapter 6)

Loading my backup since homebrew immediately crashes upon opening.

Edit: to add on the above, character loads are the most common for me.

Ask thane as I am out of ideas.

The game seems to crash consistently on Birthright chapter 11, when Reina's replacement enters. My guess is that the game doesn't know how to handle non-flying units on a water tile?

Try deleting/replacing the files for your chapter under scripts/bev. For Revelation that would be every file that starts with C010.

That might be it. In that case I may need to create some sort of special case for whoever's switching with Reina to get things working properly.

 

[JennaZant]

Delete/replace every file in the bev folder that starts with the name for your chapter. For Revelation chapter 10 you'd go into Scripts/bev/ and delete every file that starts with C010. This will cause the cutscenes for that chapter to use the original models, but it should fix most crashes.

I already did my own solution, that being completing the chapter outside of the randomizer. Next time I encounter that problem, I'll do that. Thanks!
