Maxkim Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I wanna play fire emblem 7 again really badly, but I also don't wanna have to replay all the annoying tutorials/normal modes that I'll have to play in order to unlock hector hard mode. Does anyone know where I can find a rom with it already unlocked? I'm playing on my iPhone with gba4ios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 First: if you need a rom, please don't ask for it here. Google it or something Second: you're looking for a .SAV file, not the rom itself. This has All modes (so yea HectorHardMode) as a little bonus, in addition to having all difficulties unlocked, it's also got the Mario Kart: Double Dash bonuses unlocked for transfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 GameFAQs also probably has a Gameshark save with everything unlocked as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fengaridotdll Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Pull them out of Dropbox and into your computer I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upside-DownFish Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Just email the file to yourself or send it through your google drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icecube Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) I'm assuming that you want to play it from your iPhone. 1. Do you have the ROM? 2. Do you have a suitable emulator? (e.g. GBA4iOS if you want to play from your iPhone) If you have them in your iPhone, then use the save file to play the game. If you have them in your dropbox then download them to your iPhone. If you don't have either of them, then ask Google. Edited March 11, 2015 by icecube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Winds Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Remember that the .sav file needs to have the same name as the ROM (excluding file extensions), and needs to be in the same folder. Don't load the ROM in your chosen emulator until the above conditions are met, or the emulator will create a new .sav file instead of using the one with Hector hard mode unlocked, and then you'd have to delete the unwanted one manually.

What do you mean by the same folder? In Dropbox or on my actual iPhone? And I should change the name of the file to whatever my rom is called and add . Rar to the end?

Elieson Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Max You can't play games if they're on your Dropbox. Just like you need to download files from an email before being able to edit and use them, like a .DOCX (Microsoft Word) or .XLS (Microsoft Excel), you'll need to download the save file for your game before your phone can read it. If you want to play the game on your iPhone, you need to have the game and the save file on your phone. it doesn't matter how you get them there, (and since you got the GBA player on your iPhone i assume you can figure out how to get files onto your device). I'll assume that your game is placed in your iPhone's download area. You could get the DropBox app, log in, and download the .SAV file from your dropbox to wherever your phone decides it should go, like your Downloads folder You could open Safari or Chrome on your iPhone, go to Dropbox.com, log in, and download the .SAV file from your dropbox to wherever your phone decides it should go, like your Downloads folder You could log on to your computer at home, go to Dropbox.com, etc. Then, plug your iPhone into your computer, and manually copy/paste the .SAV file from your C:\USER\DOWNLOADS folder to somewhere on your iPhone You could log on to your computer at home, go to Dropbox.com, etc. Then, log into your Gmail or Hotmail or YahooMail or whatever, attach the .SAV file to an email, send the email to yourself, then go back to your iPhone, open your MAIL app, and download the .SAV file you just sent yourself. However you acquire your rom and your save files, you'll want your thing to look like My_Fire_Emblem.sav My_Fire_Emblem.rar or My_Fire_Emblem.sav My_Fire_Emblem.gba together, in the same place. If they are not in the same location together, then you the game cannot find the save file, and you're out of luck. If they are in the same place, then they need to be named the same thing (other than the filetype) or your game will not be able to find the save file, and you're out of luck I don't know if the GBA4Ios whatever can play .RAR filetypes, or if it can only play .GBA. I would use the .GBA preferably. If your files are being downloaded straight to your dropbox, and you have no idea how to use dropbox, you need to stop using dropbox immediately, or learn how to use it first. Otherwise, more challenging tasks are going to be extremely difficult for you. Edited March 11, 2015 by Sara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxkim Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 My issue is normally there's an option that says "open in downloads" but by this file the only options are "open in Dropbox" or "open in drive", neither if which seems to work.

Maxkim Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ok, I clearly have no idea what I'm doing, so I'm gonna list everything step by step so you guys can find out where I'm going wrong. I have gba4ios I know how to get roms. The way I get them is I google them, download them, they go into my downloads file as a .zip, which I then open in gba4ios. I have no idea where the non zip file is. This file that Sara posted for me shows up as a .rar file, and the only options it gives me when I try to download it is to Dropbox or to drive, and once I download it to one of those I can only move it to the other, not to my actual phone. I also don't currently have access to a laptop. Anyone tech savvy know what to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxkim Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Update: I downloaded this app called file master and managed to get the .sav and .gba file both into a folder in that app, and I named them the same thing, but when I open the game the save doesn't load. I'm not really sure why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Same exact name fire both the save and the rom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxkim Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Same exact name fire both the save and the rom? Yeah, same exact name. I decompressed the file you linked me too and named it exactly what my game was called, then put them both into my documents folder in file master since I can't get them into downloads for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxkim Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Ok, I think I MIGHT know the problem. I'm using gba4ios version 2.1, and it seems in this version the .sav files aren't called the same thing as the game, rather they're name is just like a bunch of random numbers and stuff. Am I getting somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTchazbc24 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I am using GBA.emu and it doesn't have the capabilities to load outside .sav files a hack that unlocks all the modes right out of the box would be amazing. Playing through ff6's normal mode was a snore-fest to unlock hard and i dont want to go through that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
