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

The thread for Visions of Liberation goes to Kingdom of Ghosts.

Would you mind updating the link for FE7Lex to the newer thread? Here is the URL:

Thanks!

The OP is editable by anyone, you can add it yourself.

added Carcino 803 (7 chapter hack) by Merpin to the Directory please check it out it expand upon the story and characters of the nation of Carcino in vanilla FE8

A post was split to a new topic: Applying Shadow Dragon Sync Patch

I don’t know how, but there’s two tables for in progress FE8 hacks, I tried to edit and delete one of them but it wouldn’t let me.

Let us hope one of the Moderator will fix this!

I said I’d clean up the directory… in April. It’s now December, and I only pushed it from comprensively covering up to May 2022 from September 2020. Anyway, I got rid of that duplicate WIP FE8 section.

No idea how the table editor is brought up (every edit summary mentions it) and the post itself is at 87,000 out of 100,000 characters: I’ll cross that bridge when it comes to it.

Added HoloEmblem: The Search for Seiso (42 Chapters). I’m unsure of whether or not it should be considered a full game, but it’s playable until the end. Please let me know if I made a mistake so I can amend it

Readded Yet Another FE Girls to FE6 Reskins after it apparently got removed at some point (if this was an intentional removal and not just a casualty of the cleanup, I would genuinely like to know why, since it seems eligible)

The eligibility criteria are simply ā€œdoes it have a released patchā€, which it does. I had made a mistake during the update when copying in hacks added when I started the cleanup: apologies for that.

I might have encountered an issue with this directory. I’ve been trying to input some of the newer hacks that hadn’t been included in the directory yet, and I was just submitting a few more when I got this popup.

It appears that there may be some kind of character limit on this site, and that could prevent people from uploading any more games to the directory. There’s still quite a few hacks left off the directory that I have been sifting through, so that means tons would be missing and any new ones would also be missing. Do any people or mods know about this, and is there a potential way to get around it? Because it might become a problem if this directory can’t be updated any more.

okay I was able to sneak in around 3 more hacks but at this point its reached a hard limit to what its going to allow people to add. Going to need some kind of fix for this soon. There are a couple of things people could do to cut down on character count, but those would only be temporary solutions. It would be better to find a way to break this limit so there isn’t any need for worry.

So I noticed the Resonance says it’s an old thread and the link provided with the new thread and game doesn’t work,

also 2 princesses the eng translation is not complete and the ups doesn’t patch

both games ae under the ā€œCompleteā€ section

  1. The Resonance Thread says ā€œOld Threadā€ because there was originally planned to be a remake of the original Resonance. That remake fell through and was deleted as far as I’m aware, but the original game is still intact. As for the Dropbox link, I just double-checked, it works perfectly fine for me and there’s no issues downloading it. I know that Dropbox says that the ā€œfile is unsupportedā€ but that just means that it can’t show you a preview of the file’s content, you can still download the file just fine by clicking either of the 2 download buttons.

  2. As for 2 Princesses, both issues you listed are easily explained as well. Firstly, the game IS fully translated. the creator themself even says on the page that ā€œEverything should have been translated.ā€ The entire game is completable in English, the only things left to correct according to the creator are any potential errors in translation/grammar and to touch up the ending screen. ā€œCompleteā€ just means the game itself is completable from start to finish in English. And so, the hack is technically complete, regardless of any rough patches in the translation. Secondly, this is a common mistake, but I’m fairly certain you are patching the UPS to the wrong kind of ROM. You have to patch the UPS to a Japanese ROM of FE8, not an English ROM of the game. You can’t patch the majority of Japanese-based hacks to an FE8U ROM, even if the hack is a translation, and so you need to patch it to an FE8JP ROM. This is why the link to the download specifically says ā€œfor FE8JPā€ in the text it is enclosed in.

I have double-checked both hacks. And yes, both are correctly labeled as complete and both are working as intended. As such, they do not need to be moved.

So, the day’s finally come where the directory hit the 99k character cap. The cap’s been a thing for a long time: in fact it got bumped up before when the directory hit a lower cap. There’s three solutions I can think of off of the top of my head.

  1. Edit down the URLs: the thread titles aren’t actually necessary and can be reduced down. However, this will likely break the click counters.
  2. Make a second post to take some of the overflow: for example, have FE1-7 in post 1, and FE8+ in post 2.
  3. See if the character limit can be lifted: I’m under the impression it can’t go any higher, but I can always ask about it.
  4. Host the list externally: this wouldn’t have to worry about any character limits, but people wouldn’t be able to easily add their own hacks and reduce the convenience of FEU.

It definitely needs addressing: this directory is a valuable resource. I’ll bring it up with the other mods: if anyone else has any ideas feel free to mention them.

What if you just put in google sheets? Then setup a gform where people can submit their recommendations, which are then added if they aren’t already inside the directory.
