ROM Hack [FE Fates] A way to unlock hero battles without amiibo?

[CarlangasLVDC]

I have the Patched japanese Special Edition, is there any way to make it work in that version?

I download the "castle" folder then put it in the root of my sd card and then boot ntr cfw 3.3 and after that boot the Fire emblem Special Edition. Am i doing it right?

All right, since there aren't any clear tutorials, is basically what DeathChaos said:

1 - Install NTR CFW 3.3
2 - Choose the folder of the game (FE fates usa) and extract both folders (plugin, castle) on the root of the SD card
3 - Run NTR CFW
4 - And finally, play the game, make sure that you get a "Green screen" before starting the game.

Now, this may fail or not, so you'd want to try it several times until you get it working, you don't have to access "Amiibo" in order to activate it, the units will appear as soon as you enter "My Castle", take advice that these units (Marth, Ike, Lucina, Robin, Anna and that other DLC character) will join you automatically, but you don't get to fight them, a little bit of a bummer, but beggars can't be choosers, they also don't come with their weapons, so no Falchion or Ragnell in here, unless you use a certain cheat program to get them, or you get lucky in that dlc mission (And i'm not sure if those weapons appear in that chapter either...)

Last note, you also have to make sure you are in Ch.16 or beyond, if the "Patched" version doesn't work with you, try to use the original plugin instead.

I've changed a few bytes in GameData.bin and made all hero battles available as paralogue: https://mega.nz/#!PANnUSTL!5Xncqqr_GRi_WtxpN-muZEIPxTnI0M2smPXUvxPBLg0

Okay, this is huge. Now we can just play through their hero battles and get them "legitimately". I gotta say RainThunder you are doing an awesome job, keep it up, loving the contributions!

Does this have all the paralogues unlocked like the one you posted in the Gay Fates thread, or just the hero battles?

I just followed the steps and put the file in the location given in the comment above mine, I had the same problem with the file's location until I figured it was in the GameData folder

 

[wownmnpare]

I'm not sure I understand where to put the GameData.bin. I have the US Special Edition, so I first copied in all the folders that applied to my version from the NA_JPN_SE_AmiiboCastleJoin file that's in the OP. I also added the GameData.bin to a GameData folder I created in the 0004000000179800 folder within my plugin folder. I got all the characters, but they didn't have their weapons, and the hero paralogues didn't show up, so I didn't save and tried to make the hero levels appear. I tried deleting the FEfatesSE folder and then nothing happened at all when I went into my game (besides green screen on startup of course). I feel like I just have my GameData.bin in the wrong place, so can anyone guide on where to put it?

Edit: Got it. I put it into the fefatesSE folder, without the castle and m folders.

Japanese version might be different, and I'm away from home right now so I can't check, but I believe it went something like this.

/fefatesSE/GameData/GameData.bin
and also
/plugin/*InsertTitleID*/layeredfs.???

fefatesSE should be the name of whatever folder contained the castle folder from the NA_JPN_SE_AmiiboCastleJoin folder posted in the OP, and the layeredfs is also from the NA_JPN...folder (I think). Just get the ones made for the Japanese version, and remember that plugin and whatever your equivalent to fefatesSE are both on the root.

Just the hero battles, but it's not hard to combine both: https://mega.nz/#!nYd0gRiQ!V5Z2h7T3ual-R4V25KTrdXbHswh9m_mWYZxrPonJhyU

For those who use my plugin for JPN Special Edition, you have to put GameData.bin.lz to "feif' folder on your SD card.
