The Fire Emblem Fangame Directory [Please add your own hacks!]

I was thinking about downloading the last promise I’ll play it later on today and Vision Quest. Thank you!

I recently ported my hack from FE7 to FE8 so I moved my hack to the FE8 section, I think I did it correctly.

@herbmaster please create your own, new project thread. This thread is a directory, so it simply links to all the projects that people add to it. You can add a link to your project thread once you make one.

Hi alexgalaxy335!

All the links on this page take you to a place where you can download a GBA patch for the rom. A patch is a file you can apply to a GBA rom and a patch can not be run in a gba emulator on its own. You should look for the corresponding GBA roms and apply the patches to those roms with the use of a program such as NUPS. The roms you will be looking for are the Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones rom and the Fire Emblem Blazing Sword roms. There are plenty of tutorials which can help you apply a rom on this website, so if you have trouble you can take a look over there. We are not allowed to distribute roms on this forum, because spreading roms is illegal.

Also, a suggestion: Next time you have a question, you can start a topic in the category: question. This way, we categorize and seperate questions from other topics.

Hope this reply helped and have fun playing! :smiley:

Could the FE10 Reverse recruitment hack be listed as completed?

The Tellius games don’t get many hacks for the directory to be divided any further, but reverse recruitment would count as a reskin.

But it’s literally already listed under FE10…? i’m just asking if it can be updated so that it’s listed as completed. I know there aren’t many FE10 hacks, since this is the only one besides Dunal’s abandoned ReDux. And the only other active project is LM73’s Randomizer, which is an amazing piece of work.

Yeah, you can mark it as complete.

If Path of a Hero is classified as reskin, why Cornwell’s Ascension is not classified as reskin?
The latter one , i used FEbuilder to see the data (because it was so tedious that i don’t border finishing ) ,it just change some player charater,some event and the map does not change.
At least the former have more changes.

The categories are sometimes subjective. Authors typically put their hacks in whatever category they feel is most appropriate.

If yours is in the wrong category, move it elsewhere. No big deal. It’s a wiki post.

At a glance, their project page looks like it has custom events, custom conversations, and a custom plot. That sounds like a fangame to me, even if they are using vanilla maps.

The directory makes no real judgments about the quality of hacks. It’s just a list of them sorted by completion & reskin vs not reskin.

Personally I feel that we should try to organize fangames to feature some that the community prefers, but I understand that many people don’t really want it to be a popularity contest. But I would argue that currently the directory strongly favours the hacks that were completed a while back and added there first. Oh well.

Originally it was ordered by chapter count(that until it stopped being ordered that way), though honestly chapter count is not really a good indicator of a hack’s quality, otherwise kaitou would be the best hack ever(not that it isn’t).

I feel like trying to find a universal way to organize hacks(other than custom/reskin and in progress/completed/cancelled) will create conflicts more than anything. Though I am open to suggestions.

Maybe something like:

  • Custom (unique story, maps, and technical changes) - Ex.The Last Promise
  • Reskins (custom story and/or gameplay changes over vanilla maps) Ex. stuff like PMEs
  • Reversals (Reverse recruitment, weapon reversal, class swaps, etc. in otherwise vanilla settings) Ex. FE6 reverse recruitment, FE7 Boss Swap, etc.
  • Rebalances (Vanilla games w/ changed numbers, units, or features) Ex: Project Ember

I feel like most hacks fall into these categories and maybe it’ll more accurately reflect what’s there? It’s up to creators to categorize their work and for players to be discerning about what they download and play.

I think alphabetizing within each category makes the most sense. No strong preference to how they’re organized within the engine category.

I don’t have any real issues with how things are categorized presently.
