BTW guys, if chapter 19 freezes for you like it did for me, try doing this:
[spoiler=how to fix chapter 19]

Horace helped me and Orange out with this on IP Chat.

1. Go to the Rom Hacking Section and download the Nightmare Program (original) and the GBA Nightmare Modules.
2. Open up the Nightmare program, go to File, and open up the RR rom. The screen of Nightmare will still be blank, but the top should read the name of your rom.
3. Now go to Modules, and Load Module. Go to the file with the FE7 Nightmare Modules, then the one which says Chapter Unit Editor, and then the Chapter 19 one.
4. Now, near the top, it should say 0x00, and the rest of the screen should be about Eliwood. Open up the drop-down menu currently at 0x00 and change it to 0x88.
5. Now, the value beside "Loading Y Co-ordinate" is probably 0. Change it to 5. Then go to File, click Apply Changes, and then again in File, click Save Rom.
6. Now, go back to the drop-down menu and change it from 0x88 to 0x8A. If the value beside "Loading Y Co-ordinate" is not 5, change this to 5 as well. If so, once again, Apply Changes and Save Rom.
7. Close the program, restart the chapter, and it should work.

Chapter 11: 7/7

Athos and Renault charged through the southern hallway to the boss. Renault opened the chest in the map.

Athos and Louise wiped out the northern enemies while Jaffar visited the village. Meanwhile, Vaida and Harken killed the southern enemies.

Chapter 13: 5/16

Vaida grabbed Athos and headed into the village and to the castle while Jaffar went south and grinded on the archers and Harken visited the Merlinus village.

Chapter 13x: 7/23

The units killed stuff.

Chapter 14: 6/29

Vaida headed straight towards the horses at the west edge of the map while Jaffar picked off the pirates and Athos worked with Harken to pick off the stragglers. The boss was put down before the Pegasus Knight reinforcements could spawn in.

[Baldrick]

I'm going to ghost Shinpichu's team.

Chapter 11 7/7
I got excited when I saw Renault's bishop sprite, then I realised he was a Cleric.
Had to give up the Red Gem, because Athos couldn't OHKO Wire, and in order to 2HKO he had to use Fire on PP to not trigger his healing AI.

Chapter 12 4/11
Athos eliminated the boss, while Jaffar and Karla cleaned up the south.

Chapter 13 6/17
Nino and Renault took out the south and recruited a Killer Lance, Karla visited Merlinus and Jaffar carried Athos over the river.

Chapter 13x 7/24
Self-improved Nino and Karla and got money.

Chapter 14 5/29
Karla stayed behind to kill the soldiers and the pegs, Nino killed pirates then shopped, Athos and Jaffar went to the boss. Pent recruited Wallace so Geitz would join.

Chapter 15 7/36
Self-improved Nino and Karla and got swag.

Chapter 16 5/41
Jaffar carried Athos over the mountains while Nino self-improved.

Chapter 17 9/50
Everybody went forward. Ignored the Hero Crest since I can get one later, brought Geitz to recruit Legault, who recruited Fiora.

Chapter 17x 2/52
Nino mooncalved into the range of the pirates and wrecked them, on turn 2 Ninian danced Fiora to talk to Fargus.

Chapter 18 2/54
Fiora ferried Dart over and they double-teamed the boss, Nino went east and hit 20.

Chapter 19 3/57
My plan A failed because Nino is too slow to double Uhai with Thunder, so I had to improvise. Turn 1, Nino hit the first snag, Fiora rescued her, was danced, dropped her over the river, then retreated. Legault rescued Ninian. Turn 2, Legault gave Ninian to Fiora, who dropped her just outside of the nomads' range so they would die on Nino. Dart grabbed Karla. Turn 3, Dart gave Karla to Fiora, who dropped her in range of Uhai. Ninian danced Karla, Nino torched so I could see Uhai, and Fiora 2RKO'd him with the Rapier.

Chapter 15: 7/36

Every attacker was brutally slaughtered.

Chapter 16: 3/39

Heath and Isadora worked together to get Hawkeye up onto the hill with our good friend Boies. Meanwhile, Ninian assisted Vaida, carrying Athos, across half of the map. Hawkeye killed Boies the next turn while Vaida dropped Athos in range of the throne. On turn 3 the units swooped up some final bits of EXP before Athos seized the gate.

Chapter 17: 10/49

Vaida rescues Athos and flies to the throne room while Harken, given a head start by Ninian, goes to get the Hero Crest. After helping Harken reach the Hero Crest, Ninian helped Hawkeye kill everything in Vaida’s path (and gained C support with him) until she could drop Athos into the throne room and have him kill Bernard. I could’ve completed this faster but I didn’t want to abuse RNGs to let Vaida survive the archer onslaught.

Chapter 17x: 2/51

Vaida rescues Athos and flies over the wall in the middle of the map, dropping Athos down in a tree. Next turn, Athos, Harken, Ninian, and Hawkeye do random things to gain EXP before Vaida talks to Fargus.

Chapter 18: 3/54

Vaida drops Athos off on the right and Ninian helps her back over to the left. Harken and Athos then work together to clear out the right boat while Ninian, Vaida, and Hawkeye empty the left boat. Vaida is starting to grow weaker compared to some of my other units.

Chapter 19: 3/57

Vaida is assisted by Ninian over to Uhai, where she drops Athos off to let him Drakeflame the poor guy. Meanwhile, Hawkeye, Harken, and Canas pick off the generics close to the starting base. Also, thank you for the guide to fixing Fiora’s spawn, Nobody!

Well something bad happened.

I downloaded a new version of my Game Boy Advance emulator and deleted my old one, and now the save I was using isn't compatible with the emulator. Should I go back and play through the entire FE7 on LNM/ENM so I can unlock HNM or do you have any other recommendations?

I am using the Virtual Boy Advance Re-recorded emulator. Thanks~

Download a save file with the game already beaten. I think they have one on gamefaqs

http://www.gamefaqs.com/gba/468480-fire-emblem/saves

[Baldrick]

It's possible that the new emulator uses a different file extension for saves. If you don't want to start again from chapter 11, you could try making a new save, seeing what it's called, then deleting it and renaming the old save.

[eclipse]

See if there's an old version of that emulator floating around?

[Icemario]

Check if the old version is still in the Recycle Bin?

I'm not entirely sure how to use those saves. Sorry!

The first folder I found where I assumed the saves were held was actually storing savestates. The second folder I found potentially storing the save data actually was storing the save data and I now have access to everything in my previous save. Thanks!

See if there's an old version of that emulator floating around?

Hmm, I didn't think of that. I think I remember the website I got it from. At least I remember what the website looked like...

Check if the old version is still in the Recycle Bin?

I checked it already. I apparently permanently deleted it.

Alright, thank you all for your help! I'll be able to continue updating normally now!

Found some time to do some draft play and this seemed easier than FE12.

Chapter 11 - 7 / 7

Renault opened the door due south, healed a bunch and got the Red Gem, whereas Athos killed only what was in his way.

ATHOS 04.01 18 09 08 07 04 05 06 C-ANM

Jaffar cleared the first snag, Athos Drakeflamed the second, Jaffar visited the village, and managed to lure and recruit Farina for that Killer Lance.

UNIT  LV.EX HP PW SK SP LC DF RS WPLEV
ATHOS 08.66 22 13 09 10 05 06 09 B-ANM

Full movement on the turn prior to getting Farina would mean I could reach the throne, but I didn't because I had to kill the boss with Athos regardless so I'm a turn behind now.

Chapter 13x - 7 / 26

Renault walled the western snag entrance like a knight, Jaffar went for the village, and Athos hung around the north killing things until the seventh turn, where he swapped places with Renault to sweep the fools there for experience.

ATHOS 11.30 23 15 11 11 07 08 12 B-ANM

Athos went through the northwest so Pent could safely recruit Wallace, while Jaffar cut through the middle and booked it to the beach to pick off the pirates and cavalier. He handled the bulk of the central force, whilst Athos slipped through the north and assassinated the boss.

Kinda regret not drafting a really early unit, this is awkward and slow.

I've also realised how inefficient my drafted team is, particularly how I'm locked into getting Erk rather than Priscilla when I had her in mind whilst selecting.

Chapter 17x - 3 / 58
Danced Geitz into the forest past the villages, he killed most of the units. Heath wasn't sturdy enough to survive an onslaught so I had to work with the 3-turn.

Took the western route with Geitz clearing most of the horse brigade. Seized the throne after a rescue chain and a dance brought Athos back in range of Ninian.

Heath pushed through the magics with a Javelin and delivered a Horseslayer to the boss, although in the first attempt of this the guy got a 1% critikill on him which was a bit disgusting.

After a dance, Heath eventually assassinated the boss. Never realised how badly you can cheese these chapters if you have a competent flier, honestly.

Raven snatched the Elysian Whip.

Chapter 24 - 3 / 84

Geitz used the Hero Crest.

Spent a turn getting Erk with Heath, hopefully he proves worth it. He also took a stop at the Earth Seal village so I could eventually use that on Raven.

Raven ate as many of the enemy units as possible so he could catch up,

My save may have lost me the last two chapters of progress, but I'd probably do the same thing anyway.

ZM: Farina, Lucius, Rath, Louise, Sain, Wallace, Marcus

Chapter 11 - 7 turns (7)

Finishing this in 6 turns is possible with lucky crits from Athos against the the second archer on the bottom of the map and Wire. I was able to get Athos to Wire in 6 turns, but I'm not going to rig a crit.

Chapter 12 - 4 turns (11)

Standard Athos/Louise northern domination and Jaffar southern domination.

Chapter 13 - 8 turns (19)

Farina should be able to save more turns than she costed here, which was one or two. Regardless, glad everything worked out well here.

Chapter 13x - 7 turns forced (26)

Self-improvement.

Chapter 14 - 5 turns (31)

Probably could've been done in 4 with better strats, but I'm not complaining. Wallace get.

Chapter 15 - 7 turns forced (38)

Farina self-improves...and everyone else I guess.

Chapter 16 - 3 turns (41)



Farina proves why she was worth the pick. Basically she rescues Athos and is then danced by Ninian, the two then moving toward the throne. Thankfully they both have pretty high survivability which made this strategy feasible. Everyone else has their thumbs up their asses. Rath get, as well as a bunch of javelins and other stuff. As for the bosskill, Farina plants a killer lance in his face.

Chapter 17 - 7 turns (48)

Farina and Athos rush with help from Ninian and Rath. Geitz was deployed to recruit Legault. Should be able to make up for no knight's crest later on.

Chapter 17x - 2 turns (50)

Farina drops Athos on a tree with Ninian's help. Enemy phase. Some shenanigans ensue before Ninian dances Farina who then talks to Fargus.

Chapter 18 - 2 turns (52)

Ninian dances Farina, who rescued Rath. Yep.

Chapter 19 - 3 turns (55)

Another dance that leads Farina to slay Uhai, with Rath tagging along for some EXP. Lucius get.

Chapter 19x - 2 turns (57)

Farina rescues Athos, Ninian dances. Man, this is so standard.

Chapter 20 - 4 turns (61)

Dance shenanigans. Farina and Athos both hit level 20.

Chapter 21 - 2 turns (63)

Elysian whip get. Athos critkills Oleg with some help from Farina and Rath clearing the way.

Chapter 22 - 3 turns (66)

Farina promotes.

Standard. Sain, money, and brave axe get.

Chapter 23 - 3 turns (69)

tfw Lucius and Sain got shitty levels

Ooh, sidequest get.

Chapter 23x - 11 turns free (69)

Self-improvement for Lucius, Rath, and Sain. Rath promotes at level 19.

Chapter 24 - 2 turns (71)

Lucius promotes at level 15 and gets the Afa's drops. I really need to bring his staff EXP up soon. Regardless, Rath and Sain take down Lloyd while Farina gets the Earth Seal.

Chapter 25 - 3 turns (74)

Sain promotes at level 15 (his stats blow, sadly). Farina goes to the east, Rath goes to the south, and everyone else goes to Pascal.

Chapter 26 - 11 turns forced (85)

Self-improvement. Louise promotes and Lucius is nearing halfway through B staves.

Chapter 27 - 6 turns (91)



Alright, cool. I believe this is the best you can do for Jerme's map, and I'm quite happy with the result.




The above screenshots show where those four went to rout the chapter. Athos handled the bandits in the mountains while Wallace and Louise picked off whoever was left, the latter also getting Bolting.

Chapter 28 - 15 turns forced (106)

Self-improvement. Lucius hits A staves.

Chapter 28x - 16 turns free (106)

Marcus get. Even more self-improvement.

Chapter 29 - 5 turns (111)

Farina, Sain, Rath, and Lucius annihilate everything. Warp get. Athos promotes at the end of the chapter, yay.

Chapter 30 - 3 turns (114)

Lucius warps Athos and Sain to Kaim.

Dunno if this can be done in 2 turns. Probably, probably not. idc to find out.

Chapter 31 - 11 turns forced (125)

Self-improvement. ＼( 'ω')／

FE7 has so many defense chapters, holy shit.

Chapter 31x - 5 turns forced (130)

Yay, weapons and door keys.

Some arena abuse here and there.



B A S E D

Chapter 32 - 3 turns (133)

Used Florina (who's a bard here) and Ninian's double dance strategy and had Rath slay Limstella so Athos could seize.

Chapter 32x - 1 turn (134)

Lucius hammernes Warp, then warps Rath up to kill Kishuna.

Final Chapter - 4 turns (138)

Can't be half-assed to do this faster. I'm kinda tired! Nergal portion of the chapter took 3 turns while the dragon portion took 1 turn. Athos took down Nergal and then he, Rath, and Hector took down the dragon.

Anywho, that's a wrap. 171 turns - 6 extra defense chapter turns - 11 free turns - 16 free turns = 138 turns.
Unit analysis in next post.

Athos got very formidable and useful after he promoted, though he was already pretty baller earlier on.

Louise actually didn't do too much aside from standing around and looking pretty. She sniped quite a few things, but she didn't really help save any turns aside from a couple earlygame chapters.

The MVP for sure. Yeah, she costed a couple turns and was a one-way ticket to Jerme's map, but Farina proved to be a super viable pick since she saved many turns over the course of the run in turn. Plus, Jerme's map was actually completed in a nice amount of turns. Excellent first pick IMO.

Wallace the Worthless.

Dancer/10

Rath helped out a lot. Being locked to bows hurt him for a good portion of the game, but at least he gains swords upon promotion to do something.

Getting Lucius the staff experience he needed to reach A staves was the hardest part of the draft. Thankfully he did reach it in time! Aside from staff utility, his combat was neat, despite him being very frail.

Had a very slow start, but it didn't take Sain too long to assist Farina and Rath in their endeavors. He got insanely good levels after promotion, thankfully, and was vital for lategame.

More useful than Wallace, but still pretty worthless! At least Marcus picked some locks here and there (was too lazy to change his class back).

Hector/10. Also killed the dragon.

Fun draft. Glad I got under 140 turns. :) Best of luck to the rest of you!
