This is a disassembly of Fire Emblem - The Sacred Stones (USA, Australia)

It builds the following ROM:

• fe8.gba sha1: c25b145e37456171ada4b0d440bf88a19f4d509f

Setting Up

• Have one of Unix/Linux/WSL/MSYS2/Cygwin/whatever

• Have devkitARM or another arm-none-eabi toolchain

• You will need the following packages (or their equivalents on systems not based on Debian):

  • build-essential, git, libpng-dev

• Build tools using ./build_tools.sh.

  • This will also download, build and install agbcc, you don't need to install it separately.

• Get yourself a copy of the original ROM of Fire Emblem - The Sacred Stones (USA, Australia). Put it in this folder as baserom.gba.

• Once this is done, you can build fe8 using make.

  • For non-devkitARM toolchains, do make TOOLCHAIN=/path/to/toolchain/.
