Thanks for the responses everyone. I think I may just restart the game. I like a lot of fire emblem players am a complete perfectionist and missing out on the full ending is annoying =P. If I wanted to play the game using an emulator (and in English) would I be better off using a microSD/adapted card to transfer the game or just downloading a ROM from online? I'm not really concerned about the morality/legality factor because I did spend $60 on the game anyway, but I'm a little paranoid about getting a virus on my computer. Is it possible to send me a message, explaining where to (safely) get either of these? Sorry to bother everyone.

Sorry if I didn't make it clear enough. I do have the game on the cartridge. I'm thinking of getting a ROM for the sake of using a hack to get Armads. However, I'm not sure if there's a way to transfer or recreate my save files from the cartridge. I don't really have any experience with ROM's or emulators so I'm not sure how exactly to go about doing it. Vincent, you mentioned using codes to alter stats. Is this easy enough to do? Also, can you edit stats at any level or just the base stats/growth rates using codes?

I have Fire Emblem 6 on the GBA. It's (of course) all in Japanese and though I've done okay enough considering I don't know a word of what they're saying, I've encountered a small problem. I just found out that I missed the divine weapon Armads and that I've sentenced myself to the so-called bad ending of the game. I really want to play it in full, including the last few chapters, but I don't want to start from scratch. Playing in Japanese was hard enough the first time around. I know I can look up translations, and try to restart the game but I was hoping there might be a better solution. Is there a way I can use an emulator to recreate my scenario from the GBA (but with Armads)? Is there a way to start from Chapter 14 and recreate my characters as I used them in the game? Or can I at the very least change the characters' levels to avoid grinding and arena abuse like I did in my current play-through? I know there are hacking programs that can edit stats, but they seem to only affect base stats and growth rates, which I don't want to alter. I also don't want to make my characters start at higher levels, because then they'll be too overpowered by the end. If I could change their levels/stats mid-game that would work, but it doesn't seem to be an option. Of course the ideal is a way to import or replicate the data directly but that doesn't seem possible. Any ideas? Thanks!
