v1.0.8

Download fe-awakening-launcher-v1.0.8-windows-x64.zip, unzip it and run zakuro.exe. From v1.0.0, Update Launcher installs it for you.

New since v1.0.7:

• HD text: Build now also draws the game's text again at four times the resolution, in all five languages:
  • the fonts of the dialogue, menus and numbers, each letter at its natural width;
  • the chapter titles;
  • the phase, mission and result banners;
  • the inventory's labels.
    It is made on your computer from your copy of the game, with open fonts. The download contains none of the game's pictures.
• If you built with an earlier version, click Build mods (a few seconds) and start the game again to get the HD text.
• Settings, Mods turns the feet and the HD text on or off. A change shows from the next time the game starts.
• Build Feet mod is now Build mods: it builds every mod again without converting the game's code.
• A texture pack's pictures are sampled sharply, so pieces that sit side by side in one texture no longer blend at their edges.

A save state made before the HD text keeps the old font until the game is started again.

New since v1.0.6:

• A texture pack's pictures are always filtered smoothly. The game samples some textures, such as its fonts, pixel by pixel, which made a higher-resolution picture look jagged, with strokes of uneven thickness, at most resolutions.

New since v1.0.5:

• The bottom screen opens as soon as a unit's 3D view starts, during the zoom, and the moment a level up shows, with no pointer.
• The game's own battle panels leave a little more room at the bottom of the screen.
• The cheats window has the same look as the other menus.
• A texture pack can be a mod of its own: Zakuro reads a textures folder inside each mod folder, beside the feet, as well as the main one.
• A texture pack no longer slows down the start of a fight.

New since v1.0.4:

• Frame interpolation draws a picture in between for every frame the game draws at 30 frames per second, so battles show a steady 60. It no longer skips frames where the camera starts moving, swings round quickly or a frame comes late, and the frame rate counter counts every picture in between.

• Battles stay at 60 frames per second, the moment a fight starts included. The battle's glow effect is now made on the GPU instead of waiting for it every frame, battle frames take about a third of the time they did, and a fight starts in a single frame rather than a stutter.
• Textures decode faster, GPU memory is set aside in large blocks instead of piece by piece, and shaders already in the cache load in the background.

What it does:

• Runs the game natively on Windows, its code converted ahead of time by 3dsrecomp and run by Zakuro.
• Draws the 3D at up to 8 times the console's resolution, and frame interpolation can show battles at 60 frames per second.
• Plays on the top screen alone, in 16:9 if you like. The bottom screen shows over it with the right trigger or E; the controller's sticks move a pointer on it and A taps. Select on the battle map opens it straight on the map overview.
• Shows battles with the game's own panels, the same information in the style of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, or nothing.
• Gives every character feet, a mod built from your own copy of the game.
• Has cheat codes and built-in tweaks such as faster battles, five save state slots, and an original mode that plays the game as the console does.
• Starts games in fullscreen, hides the mouse cursor in game when unused, and updates itself with Update Launcher.
