[FE8] Ending the game

Questions
1

I’m trying to get to the game to end before Final Chapter Part 2. The way it’s supposed to work is that you beat the chapter, see the ending scene, then you save and go to the Epilogue which shows a bunch of dialogue, credits, character endings, then FIN and back to title screen. Disassembling the Final Chapters I see that MNC4 0x0 is the command used to go to the Epilogue via save screen. However, when I try to use it in the Prologue, it takes me to a save screen, then back to the prologue again (skipping the opening text and world map scenes) instead of the Epilogue. Beating the Prologue a second time takes me straight to the FIN message with no save screen. Afterwards I can use the ‘Epilogue’ save file to start the Creature Campaign though no roads are unlocked so you can’t do anything.

Can someone explain what is happening?

Here’s what it looks like (with a hasty fix to skip the second Prologue): link removed

Solved: MNC4 takes you to Eirika’s or Ephraim’s epilogue depending on the mode byte. Pre-split it messes up and takes you back to the same chapter.

The following will allow you to customise your epilogue events and play them regardless of mode byte:

PUSH
ORG $9ea8
SHORT 0 0 $e00a
ORG $9ed8
POIN EpilogueEvents
POP

EpilogueEvents:
ASMC 0x30185 //clears map tilesets?
EVBIT_F 0x2
STAL 120
ASMC 0xB8175 //turn counts display
STAL 1
CALL 0xA0036C //Character Endings
STAL 90
MNTS 0x0 //return to title screen
ENDA
