So i have an action replay for my GBA which i use all the time for my GBA Fire Emblem games. A long time ago, i picked up a translated copy of FE6. However, there are no known AR codes for this game. There are, however, codebreaker codes available.

So what is the easiest way to convert between the two code formats, if possible?
As well, if i am able to convert the codes, how will i receive the master code for the other codes to work.



I also have another question. My FE6 cartridge is very... strange, unlike other games where the battery is separate from the ROM, with this Translated FE6 cartridge, the save battery is actually tied to the ROM itself. It cannot be reflashed with a different battery file, and when attempting to load a battery save on a backed up ROM, it will refuse to load the battery and only play off the current save file on the ROM
No other game i have behaves like this.
Is there any reason why this happens?

 

What are you implying exactly?
Only this game behaves like this. Pokemon ruby and various other games don't.

 

Okay here we go...
So my Fire emblem 6 cartridge is translated and does act very strangely. It lags when saving and has erased it's own data for one reason though.
My Pokemon Ruby cartridge is Normal.
I dumped both Roms and both Battery Saves. I was able to import the battery save of Ruby Just fine, but i had to use a hex editor to change the size of the FE6 save.
Interestingly, when i loaded up the ROM backup of Pokemon Ruby with no save, it acted like a normal empty game
But when i started my ROM backup of Fire Emblem 6 without a save battery, my files and what not where still attached to the cartridge

I should tell y'all what program i'm using. I'm using GBA_Backup_Tool on the NDS.

So i change some stuff to both files, make a battery export and try to put it back on the cartridge.
Pokemon worked with the modded battery, but nothing changed with the FE6 Backup

So this is my situation


As for the AR and codebreaker stuff. The programs didn't seem to help.
CBAcrypt would always give me an error when i put in a codebreaker code
As for ARcrpyt, none of the codes i converted worked. I even tried to find a master code and it wouldn't work
From this list... https://www.gamefaqs.com/gba/563015-fire-emblem-fuuin-no-tsurugi/faqs/35138
I converted these codes


I replaced the ## with a "71", an item value

Its a simple code and couldn't get it to work when i put it through AR crpyt

 

Thank you again for your help.
As far as me buying a repo, the reason why i did is because i like having physical copies of things. A flashcard wouldn't do it of me in this case. I mainly just wanted a physical copy of this specific game so that i could complete my case collection of the three GBA games. Take a look!

As for the code you gave me I do not know if it works or not due to me not having the enabler code.
I have tried finding it myself but have not been so lucky.

 

Well, the emulator i'm using doesn't seem to like the AR codes i'm inputing. I'm using VBA. I get an error saying it wants it in XXXXXXXX:YYYYYYYY format despite it already being in that format.

 

I did a bit of research a while ago on sram chips and you're probably right. I guess I wasn't lucky then. Haha
It's funny because I bought a FE8 cartridge many years ago thinking it was legit and it turned out to be a bootleg. But at least that cartridge behaves normally compares to this one.
