Updated OP with pic and confirm it's safe and functional. Updated patch files to include a WIP paired ending patch, but expect some bugs, text overflowing, or accidental misgendering with the paired endings.

Ignore file 0. It doesn't work.

Hey! This patch seems like a cool concept but I can't get it to work despite following the installation guide.
What could have possibly gone wrong?

First of, you need CFW to be able to use this patch in the first place. If that's not the case, you're probably not copying starforge to the root and copying the patch files to /Starfall/forge/.

This is how my SD card looks right now, I guess I'm missing something causing it not to work?

Do you have the latest update of the game installed on your switch? Show me where you put the patch files on your SD card.

Yeah, FE3H is v1.1.1 and I suppose, are files 0 and 6163, are located in F:\Starfall\forge

If you have the latest version of Starfall, then it's probably your Switch not in CFW.

And what should I do in that situation?

And what should I do in that situation?

If you don't have CFW, consult this for inquiry on installing CFW; you need CFW for file redirection of the ROM. To install CFW, you need a RCM jig and a exploitable switch. There's not much I can help you with beyond that.

Anyone who wants to use this on 1.2.0 can use Aldebaran instead of Starfall note the new DLC characters are not changed.

 

[SinsOfSloth]

@tvo770 I forgot to post the new patch. Here
If you want to use it with Aldebaran just rename "IN_EventBaseInfo.bin" to "6163"

Sorry, I am a bit lost updating from starfall to aldebaran. So you download aldebaran from the git-hub link and I got a "Aldebaran-master" folder. How should I organize it into SD/Aldebaran/forge/ to place in the root of my SD card? Then I download the 1.2 patch to get 010055D009F78000 folder, rename "IN_EventBaseInfo.bin" to "6163" within that folder and place it in the sxos/titles/ pathway as usual? Does anything go into the exefs_patches folder like the starfall_forge folder that went in it? Hope my question wasn't too confusing. Thank you for any help.

Aldebaran isn't supported by SX OS. Download from Install via atmosphere and just change the folder names to match the folder structure of SX OS.

Hey, I am using Atmosphere and game version 1.2.0 so all I need is the file that is linked correct? What is this talk about "Starfall"? I haven't heard of it, is it for SXOS users?

 

[Quinnbo]

so sorry but i am unfamiliar with patching with atmosphere. do i just place the atmosphere folder to the root of my sd card and boot up the game on my cfw?

Hey there! I'm a researcher at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and I've been talking to folks who mod games. I talked to the person behind the Harvest Moon same sex marriage rom hack and he referenced me to your work. Would you be interested in chatting about this mod and the work that went into it? Thanks! And sorry if this is weird and out of the blue.

Gonna be quite frank here, but ther was barely any work put into this. I literally spent less than a day on this. I just cross-compared files from previous patches and used other data documented in the game to come to the conclusion that this file contains data on the supports. It was just a matter of intuition without any need to test in-game to do this.

Can I use this with an emulator?
