Hello, I’m new here and I want to share my project. If you want to give me advice on how to promote my work or how to improve this post, let me know. This is an improved version of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones and you can choose to play with the original cast or with mixed characters from other Fire Emblem games.
If someone is interested in the backgrounds I created for my hack (and there’s already people using them), they’re included in the link, you only need to give credit to the rippers of the backgrounds and me for porting (and editing) them.
INTRODUCTION
This hack comes in different versions, choose the want you want to play (or try everything):
FE8 Reloaded Heroes Crossover
FE8 Reloaded Heroes Crossover: This version includes changes in the mechanics:
- New classes and some changes in others (for example, trainees now move 5 instead of 4).
- Doubled the weapon triangle effectivity.
- Support points are gained by deploying units in the same map, and the bonusses are increased.
- Iron weapons price halved and preparation shop prices don’t increase. More weapon abailability in the preoparation shop.
- Some weapons change, now the Levin Sword is available, you can purchase Frozen Lances (they make magic damage), short bows allows you to attack adjacent enemies (but they’re not effective against flyers) and some spells have more range. Be careful, this also works for the enemy!
- More prizes in the Tower and in the Ruins.
- More experience gain.
- You can re-promote units and restart their level to 1 (like in Fire Emblem Awakening).
Do you think this makes the game easier? Not at all! - Enemies have +20% growth for health and +10% growth for the other stats! Also some bosses change and they can be very hard (be careful with Gheb).
- Remember the new enemy classes? Have fun with the witches.
- Some characters change, and more characters from other Fire Emblem games appear. Will include exclusive classes. You receive extra characters in chapter 4, some with exclusive classes (or can promote to exclusive classes), you don’t need to use them if you don’t want (exclude them in your Ironman runs if you wish).
- I added Final Fantasy backgrounds from Final Fantasy I & II Advance, Final Fantasy IV Advance and Final Fantasy V Advance.
- You can buy cheat weapons and the legendary or exclusive weapons of the game, they’re separated by a stone that say “Cheat Codes” in the first map stores. They were great for speed up the testing. You can use them if you want to test something.
FE8 Reloaded X
FE8 Reloaded X including the original cast and the changes of the Heroes Crossover version. This version was created after FE8 Reloaded Heroes Crossover, play this if you want to play with the original cast of characters from Sacred Stones. Still the extra characters come from other Fire Emblem games and they include the new classes inspired in Fire Emblem Heroes (they appear in chapter 4 and you’re not forced to use them or their weapons).
FE8 Reloaded Heroes Crossover PVP
FE8 Reloaded Heroes Crossover PVP: Now your friend can control the enemy units! There’s a graphic bug when attacking with an enemy unit, but the game runs fine. Thanks to Circleseverywhere for the code, you can find it here: Control Enemy + NPC units [FE8]
FE8 Reloaded X Chicken
FE8 Reloaded X Chicken: Tired of revenants and entombed being very slow? They are now chickens!

BUGS
Aside from the original game bugs and the PVP problem with the enemy portraits, the only issue found are minor graphical bugs in the map sprites of some classes.
I’ve also found that if you enter with a weapon that increases a stat when equiped in the arena, even if they change your weapon you maintain that bonus stat, and that works for legendary weapons and also for my cheat weapons.

Michalis by Obsidian_Daddy
Silque by Blade

Minerva from a recolored Gwendolin by me (more fitting with the GBA style, that’s the reason I changed it, the palette is based in Minerva from FE1 artwork)
CG Backgrounds by ZoramineFae based on FGO and WAve CG images.
Some backgrounds come from FE8 Sacred War assets (I changed the colors of one of them for the class change screen), others are modified versions by me to eliminate the upper black part.
Final Fantasy I & II Advance backgrounds ripped by Vanarus and Ryan914; Final Fantasy IV Advance backgrounds ripped by Bean; Final Fantasy V Advance backgrounds ripped by Valoc Dakmyre; I got them from Spriters Resource. All backgrounds were ported by me.
If you stream the game, let me know! 
And what emulator are you using? I have a record of defeating him in the story because more people complained he never died. I can defeat him in both VisualBoyAdvance M and GameBoidAdvance (this is a very old GBA emulator for Android and I use it in an Android 2.2 cell). Anyway, I’m leaving 2 videos I made defeating THAT BOSS in case they can be useful for you:
