After about a year of slow, lazy planning I finally recorded what is to my understanding, the first ever XMAP Transfer to an original FE6 cartridge using a link cable. The parent copy is an Everdrive with the save data preloaded.
Thanks to Sme for their original post on the subject, and Flame for discovering and reverse engineering the transfer functionality.
Here’s a bonus clip of me showing off the boss’s custom animations.
This is far from impressive by ROMhack standards, but to get this to run on the original cart without being able to edit the ROM at all was a big deal for me.
This is really really cool to see in action
I’m glad someone else thinks so too.
Sadly, while this map is really cool looking as an art piece, it’s kinda rough to play.
I’m currently working on another XMAP project with the goal of accessibilty. It’ll be designed specifically for the English patch, come bundled with a premade save, so not need for save editing, and also have a much smaller map.
I’ll also include my file structure notes. I made it using exclusively events*, forgoing custom asm and procs so its easy to reverse engine for anyone wanting to make their own.
*The one exception is a single proc/asm function that fixes the final tactics ranking, since it’s bugged.
Just completed a transfer from my Japanese cart to an English patched version on the everdrive.
Unsurprisingly, it works without issue. Given how the English version is patched, the overwhelming majority of the code base is identical.
However, I would like to bring something of note to the translators. This commonly encountered and widely used transfer screen isn’t completely translated! It still says either 送信中 or 受信中 during the transfer process.
I hope somebody gets fired for THIS blunder.
