gringe Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 As someone who was there for the original Twilkitri patch and contributed a little bit to the quality testing of it, I want to say that this is outstanding work from what I've seen. Congrats, guys. Now, let's talk about Thracia *SHOT* I do have one question: you guys mention a patching program for patching the ROM. That's good for Windows. But is there something that would work on this on a Mac? The reason we went with UPS is because IPS as a format didn't seem to work with files over 16MB, but that's not an issue anymore. I'll look into posting an IPS version when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbus Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 get Wine or Mono and run NUPS Multipatch is supposed to support UPS files, but it apparently has issues. I'll give Mono a shot later. For a UPS patcher, it should be sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexMH3 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) gringe, I would be really interested in an IPS version of the patch. Could you post one? EDIT: Sorry if I sounded a bit impatient, but I do want an IPS version :P Edited February 21, 2015 by AlexMH3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 You serious? He just said he was gonna post one, not even three posts up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringe Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Apologies for the wait. The real world was especially demanding this week... The IPS version of the patch is in the first post. Hopefully it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gringe Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 To be honest it's never really been a priority to fix it, so sorry if that's an inconvenience. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookums Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Can anybody give me tips on how to apply two patches to the same file? Multipatch isn't able to do it on my mac, is it possible to do this on the windows patcher files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Can anybody give me tips on how to apply two patches to the same file? Multipatch isn't able to do it on my mac, is it possible to do this on the windows patcher files? Apply one, then apply the other. Ensure that the patches' data will not overwrite one another, or you may have problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stewart Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 you may also need to stop the patcher from verifying checksums, if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rukathesoldier Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I try to apply the patch but it says the patch is corrupt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringe Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Details would help. Is this the translation patch? Is it the UPS or IPS version? What patching program are you using? Did you apply it to the original Japanese ROM? Since you're the first one to say so, just "it's corrupt" doesn't give me anything to go on to offer you assistance.

Rukathesoldier Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I got it to apply instead of just saying it was corrupt but now when I try to play the game it says something about it not being able to open it then it says something about it being an unsupported file type. I'm using the patching program linked in the OP. NUPS I think it's called? I'm kinda new to this kind of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringe Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Did you unzip the file and pull out the UPS? You're applying it to the Japanese ROM, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rukathesoldier Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I think so. Like I said I'm not really experienced in this kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikirini Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 That's so odd that people aren't able to patch this rom in Multipatch. It works every time for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual Dragons Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I think so. Like I said I'm not really experienced in this kind of thing. If you unzipped it, it should not be in a folder that looks like it has a zipper on it and you should have had some program, whether it's a free one like 7-zip or a paid one, to unzip (decompress) the folder. The process to actually unzip the files is usually called "Extract" and it will make a new folder that looks normal that will include all the documents in the original zipped folder. After unzipping, I've personally placed the NUPS program folder and patch folder into my folder with the VBA and clean Japanese ROM. Open up NUPS (bear with me as I'm inexperienced as well but I believe NUPS works with Windows and a program called wine will allow Macs to use Windows programs) and click "Apply an UPS patch to a file" In "File to Patch," browse for the clean Japanese ROM (I would recommend to also keep a clean copy on hand so you don't have to go re-find it) In "UPS Patch," browse for the Redux patch and hit "Patch" From then on unless you changed the options, it should automatically stay patched whenever you open back up the ROM By the way, gringe, I'm enjoying the game so far as a first-time player. I don't recall if this was ever covered and it's a minor detail but did you change Dracoshield to Dragonshield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rukathesoldier Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 So I need to extract the patch? I right clicked in that folder and clicked extract all. I was able to get it to apply the patch but like before I can't play the game now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rukathesoldier Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Am I just being an idiot and missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual Dragons Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Was the patch extension still .ups after extraction? Most importantly the ROM has to be clean (as in unpatched) and the Japanese ROM. So if you got, say, an FE6 ROM with English on it already, that was prepatched (I think they call permapatched) and you can't use this patch to make it work properly. I can only guess that the "Extract all..." doesn't work properly or the patch may have been improperly applied. Try getting another clean Japanese ROM and see if it will patch properly this time.

Rukathesoldier Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Yes the patch extension was the same. I think the ROM was clean. It was certainly Japanese. Other than a few little things in English like the little "Fire Emblem" above the Japanese title and the save menu showing "No Data." So it seems I was being an idiot. It wasn't working because I didn't extract the ROM as well. I decided to try it to see if that's what was wrong and I got it to work. Sorry for wasting everybody's time.

Katie Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) As a Mac user who used MultiPatch to patch the game(in UPS format, too!), I can confirm it works just fine. In fact, gringe, I recommend linking to it in the OP. EDIT: Btw, in the next patch, I recommend changing Klain's name to either Klane or Clane. I feel like those would get the intended pronunciation of his name across a little better in addition to (IMO) looking a little more natural. Or maybe make his name Crane, since Klain is a rather odd name in general IMO, no matter how you spell it.

Turtleman579 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 And Crane isn't an odd name...? But I agree that Klane looks a little more natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
