    1. You need to update your TTDS firmware. Scroll down till you find what you need.

  3. I tried to download the game, but when i extract the files the clean game that is supposed to be patched is too small- 108 instead of the 128 it is supposed to be- and when the patch thing comes up, it tells me the source file is too short. Could you please help?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 108 MB? How odd, I've never seen a FE12 ROM that size.

      I can only suggest trying a different ROM site, I'm afraid, until you find the 128 MB one.

    2. I had a friend try to download it, as well, and she told me she had the exact same issue...

    1. I did the same thing; just put them into a regular Windows/Mac/whatever folder, instead of a winrar-esque folder.

  7. Just figured I'd let people know. I'm on Linux Mint, so obviously I have a slight hitch with simply dragging and dropping a file onto a Windows batch file. I looked at the batch file to see how it all fit together, did some googling, and got it to work, so for anyone else on Linux, here's what to do. Obviously, you'll need WINE, but that goes without saying.

    Pop open terminal and navigate to the directory where you have the patching tools extracted with your Japanese ROM. Then, just use the following command: "wine xdelta.exe -dfs *romname* FE12_v3_01.delta *output romname*". It'll pop up a few unknowable error messages, but the end result will be a complete patched ROM, just as if you'd done the process on Windows.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I have the 128 MB sized ROM, but whenever I try dragging and dropping it, I'm told the following:

    "xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT
    xdelta3: normally this indicaes that the source file is incorrect
    xdelta3:please verify the source file with sha1sum or equivalent"

    I have no idea why it's telling me this. Should I pursue another the ROM of the same size elsewhere or is there something I'm not doing correctly? All files were extracted and the ROM is in the same folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Not sure if this is my R4DS (with Wood) or Micro SD card freaking out, but occasionally, the game would randomly delete Map/Chapter saves on resetting. And not even corrupt the whole file, I'd still get one or two save slots still saved, but others would be deleted, for seemingly no reason at all.

    Occasionally I'd have the game revert to an earlier stage in time; I'd clear one chapter, make copies of the saves, and then one reset later I'd still have the saves when I just booted it earlier that day.

    I don't know if it has to do with WoodR4, the R4 flashcart, the MicroSD card, the game, or if the gods simply like fucking with me, but I'd at least want to know what's causing this...

    ReplyDelete
  10. The original rom works on my flash cart but the patched doesn't. I got my flashcart on
    r4i-sdhc.hk

  11. Just posting a little fix if anyone is having problems playing their ROM on the DeSmuME emulator and is getting a black screen on the bottom touchpad screen:

    Go to Config > 3D Settings > Tick "Unrealistically High-Precision Color Interpolation"

    This should fix the black screens :)

  15. Hello, I am unable to run the game as my r4i-sdhc is not up to date i get errcode=-4. I am not going to update my r4i as the place i bought it from warned me not to update it as i don't know what i am doing. Could someone give me the link for 2.0.1? Hopefully i will not have errcode-4 when i use that.. the Jap rom runs perfectly fine. Good job on the patch btw!

    ReplyDelete
  16. That's exactly my problem! Did you get yours at the
    website on the comment above yours?

    Also, 2.0.1 is just a menu translation.

    ReplyDelete
  17. is it suppose to be .delta?
    how do i get into .ips?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Delta is just like ips except you use a delta patcher, not an ips patcher.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Is it possible to play the game on a real NDS or is it only programmed to run on emulators? Thank you.

  25. So I have the Japanese ROM in one Winrar folder, the English patch in the other. I drag the Japanese ROM over, and it transfers; the original file (the Japanese one) does not change, and there is no command prompt when I drag and drop. The game runs fine on my DeSmuMe; it's just in Japanese. I have read through all of the instructions, and the bonus content, and this forum. Again, I am using Winrar and a DeSmuMe emulator (which works fine).

    Is there any way you can help me? Am I doing something wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Try extracting both the patch's folder and the rom and try again.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I downloaded the Japanese rom to test if that would work before I applied the patch, and it didn't. I have an r4i sdhc I opened the file it loaded then it went to a white screen. Please don't tell me to update firmware, because I've tried that a few times and then my r4 card won't even start and just says "menu?".

    ReplyDelete
  28. I downloaded the latest version, extratced it and when i tried cleaning it, it is saying:
    xdelta3: source file too short: XD3_INTERNAL
    The xdelta patching utility was unable to apply the patch. Make sure to use the original (unpatched, untrimmed) ROM and extract all of the patch files to the same folder before running this.

    Please help me???

  40. I'm not good with this techy stuff :/ Can someone create a direct ROM for me? Then put it in dropbox or something? XD Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  41. You're not the first one to ask for that. If you'll look a few posts up, there's a link to Mega I posted a while ago.
    If you have any questions once you start, you should probably go to the Serenes Forest forums. After all, I'm the only one who still checks this site, and I wasn't on the team or anything.

  42. I can't seem to find the game on DraStic it just doesn't show up

  43. I cant even drag the rom onto the patch, it won't even let me. I have windows 8.

    Replies
    1. Look a couple posts up to my reply to Allan Tran. I uploaded a pre-patched file to Mega, since a lot of people have been having some variation of this problem. Don't forget to use the save file included with the original patch file, as it's the only way to get the DLC after the end of DS Wi-Fi.
      Any further questions should be directed to the Serenes Forest forums, since none of the HoS check this site anymore. Or anyone other than me.

  44. Why can I not start the game at all?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Be more specific. What exactly are you doing and exactly how far does the game get? What emulator are you using, and what ROM did you patch? Is it just a black screen, or do a few things appear before you can't progress?

    1. I posted a link to a pre-patched ROM on Mega a few posts above. Just download that and use it directly instead of patching it yourself. I don't know why, but more than a few people have had patching problems. :/
      Don't forget to start the game using the save file provided with the original patch. It's the only way to get the DLC now that DS Wi-Fi is dead.
      Have fun!

  46. How do i patch it on Android?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I don't think you can patch it directly on Android. Instead, you should patch it on the computer and then move the patched ROM to the Android device. Or if you can't do that, try using the pre-patched version I posted to Mega several posts up.

      Delete
    2. I tried to use the mega download. It kept sending me to the mega app. I only have a android device. I don't have a computer. So I got the mega app. Now what?

      Delete
    3. I'm not familiar with the Mega app, but presumably it will allow you to download that file, which is the patched ROM.

  47. Hey Turtleman579, soon im going to buy an r4, to be more precise: R4I Dual Core 2014 Con Micro SD 8GB PARA Nintendo Ds Lite, DSI, DSI XL, NINTENDO 3D. Its spanish, i know, i'm from venezuela, so here's the question. There's this link:http://www.maracuchoenusa.com/2012/10/r4i-dual-core-v144-y-nintendo-3ds-v440_25.html that says in it's list that it can play fire emblem 12 in english so I was wondering if I have to follow some kind procedure to get this game up and running in english! I have NDS Lite!

    Replies
    1. It's been a while since I've used my flashcart, but I played the game exclusively on my Acekard 2i and never had a problem. On a DSi or 3DS, sometimes the flashcart will have problems with a new firmware update breaking it, but that's not a concern on a DS Lite. All you have to do is patch the ROM on your computer normally, put it onto the microSD card (it looks like yours comes with a USB adapter for this), and then load it off the flashcard. Nothing special.

      Of course, if you have any trouble, I'd be happy to help as much as I can.

    2. Can someone please post an actually link to the Instruction because i cant find them

      Delete
    3. Sorry for the delay, school is starting.
      The Help and Instructions is actually a .txt file included with the patch in the zip folder, not a webpage. The gist is this: On PC, drag the clean ROM onto the file called "DRAG CLEAN ROM HERE". On Mac, use the program MultiPatch from http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/746/ . Specify the original ROM, the patch file (FE12_v3_01.delta), and the output destination.

    1. There is no way to patch this on an Android. It is only meant to be patched on a computer, and then placed on the device of your choice. If that's not an option, here is a link to download an already patched ROM: https://mega.co.nz/#!HZdkga7S!5JGOaFW-0HuixrxdtztxxX8AQ1ADuPKe8wrdCgcJ51k

  49. So I was able to successfully apply the patch using Multipatch (OS: Mac, Emulator: Openemu), but what do I with it? It has it listed as a separate file, and when I try dragging it into Openemu, nothing happens. So what do I do? Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Make sure the file in question is a .nds file. If it's not, you did something wrong.
      If it is a .nds file, try downloading the original ROM from another source; some sites have a corrupted version of the ROM.
      If you're still having trouble, the problem is probably Openemu. Openemu uses Desmume to emulate DS games, so true using Desmume directly: desmume.org
      That's the emulator I use, although I'm on PC.
      Failing that, try the Serenes Forest forums. The webmaster is VincentASM, also known as this project's head, AveynKnight. Also, they have a lot of members who can help you, while the only one active here is me.
