This should cover all 3 versions of USA and EUR.

Thank you so much! Worked perfectly!

If you have EUR Birthright rename the folder "Birthright" to "birthright". Otherwise it won't work.
The layeredfs.plg was not correctly spelled.

Did you launch NTR? I'm assuming you use NTR...

hey guys
ive been wondering whether it's possible to use this patch in a rebuilt cia without having to boot ntr cfw every time i want to play. since copypasting the castle_join.bin.lz into the extractedromfs/castle folder and rebuilding like that didnt work, im figuring that i need a different gamedata.bin.lz right? it's just that my gf who is the one needing the patch is using an o3ds with menuhax and i'm afraid that using ntr would be too much trouble for her (and for the console as well).
in short, is there a way to implement this patch in an extracted and rebuilt .cia rom? any help would be appreciated!

(thanks for response !)

I guess that once you get the heroes you don't need the patch anymore.

You'll have to install at least NTR 3.2 and BootNTR cia. Google for the first one and search the Homebrew section for the second. There is aversion compatible with 11.0 available since last week.

1) Download the latest release of JKSM from here and move the JKSV CIA and the JKSV folder to the root of your SD card.
2) Launch FBI/BigBlueMenu/whatever you use to install CIAs and install JKSV.
3) Open JKSV and choose your Fates game. Follow the onscreen instructions to export your save.
4) Download FEFTwiddler from here and extract it.
5) Download and extract the Amiibo zip file I uploaded in this post: https://gbatemp.net/threads/feftwiddler-fire-emblem-fates-save-editor.422439/page-81#post-6495428.
6) Open FEFTwiddler, open your save file, and below the list of units should be an Import Unit button.
7) Find the folder that the Amiibo units were in and import them into your save file.
8) Save your save file and find the folder where your save file is located on your SD card. FEFTwiddler creates a backup of the save file. Either delete the file or move it somewhere safe on your PC.
9) Put your SD card back into your 3DS and re-open JKSV.
10) Follow the instructions onscreen to find your copy of Fates and import your save file.
11) Go back to the home menu start your game. Check to see if the Amiibo units were properly imported. If not, repeat steps 6-10.

That worked great.
Just one question: is it normal that you can't modify support (in the editor or in game)? Is it the normal behaviour?
Arf that's two questions...

The amiibo characters can't have supports. The only exception to this rule is if you are using UnassumingVenusaur's Gay Fates hack, which allows some characters to have support conversations with the amiibo characters.

Ah... too bad. Well thanks anyway

 

[wakabayashy]

thanks again KunoichiZ

that's not really a problem for me since installing the patched cia, backing up the save and then reinstalling wouldn't be a big issue. the only thing that concerns me is whether it's possible to pack the patch into a game rom. i tried changing the castle_join.bin.lz file with a patched one and then rebuilding but it didn't work, even after chapter 16. :c

 

[Seliph]

How do I install this? Do I just overwrite the original GameData file with this GameData file or is there something more that I have to do?

 

[configchan]

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.

Just making sure before I rebuild my romfs for HANS, this has the gay support options in it, right?

Nope. There is a patch in the gay thread that contains both iirc.

 

[configchan]

Found it, thank you!

EDIT: Wait, judging by the modified date compared to the preserved one from the recent version of the mod, that's probably based on an outdated version of the mod's gamedata.bin? Would it be easy to reconcile the differences between the versions?

 

[configchan]

Since the one linked in the thread was outdated, I used the method @RainThunder described to apply the same changes to the more updated Gay Fates gamedata.bin.lz to create an updated version of this for use with the Gay Fates patch. Download is here. I will probably keep this updated when updates to Gay Fates are made that change gamedata.bin.lz for as long as I keep playing Fates, since I personally want to keep this.

Note that if you want them to have support options, you'll need to use the my castle join mod included in the download, as recruiting them from their battles will cause them to join as Einherjar. There are no issues caused by completing the battles once they've already joined as full units, however, the game will merely skip the prompt to have them join you.

Whoever said this can't work with Gateway is wrong. the layeredfslajl;ero or whatever won't with with Gateway since that's meant for the smth smth ntr cfw hans etc etc. If you look hard enough there's guide right here on gbatemps that shows you how to dump your cart, decrypt and extract its files to replace them with modified gamedata.bins etc and reencrypt them to be played on Gateway as a .3ds. Alternatively, if one is too lazy or befuddled to do it themselves, you can find it pre-patched somewhere else.
