Racer Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I wanna try playing fire emblem 5 but it shows 3 different files. My rom says NP or something on it so I chose the patch that says FE5 Patch 0006 NP so I patched it with IPSWin (for some reason renaming the patch won't patch it for me) when it gets patched the screen just cuts to black and nothing happens... I tried patching the other patches but still nothing works, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong??? (PS the unpatched version works fine) Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Sounds like a header issue. Information on SNES headers: The step that seems to trip most would-be-patchers is whether your SNES ROM has a header or not. You can check whether your ROM has a header by using a hex editor or certain ROM utilities like SNESTool. Basically, you're looking for a large area of empty space near the very beginning of the ROM. If you need to add or remove a header, you can try using SNESTool. Dealing with FE5 in particular: Finally, check the section above on SNES headers. If your Thracia 776 ROM has a header, you can try the HIROM version of the patch. Otherwise, remove the header and apply either the NP or ROM version of the patch. For reference, a headered FE5 ROM is 4,194,816 bytes exactly. Without a header, it's 4,194,304 bytes.
