Matthew147 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I've heard that the shin patch for Fire Emblem 4 is hard and really fun, therefore i would like to play it, however when i try to use the ips program to patch the shin patch to a fresh FE4 file it won't open, and it says that the file has been damaged. If anyone knows how to do it please help me. Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantairu Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I always forget if your supposed to add or remove the header, but do that. If you have I admittedly am also having a similar problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew147 Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Remove the header? Im sorry but I don't follow :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantairu Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 IIRC, a header is something in a SNES ROM thats basically that second of black screen right when the ROM loads. Its seemingly pointless data that most ROM hackers, from what I've heard, usually remove. I'm no expert on ROMS, so I may not be 100% correct, but thats the gist of it. You can use a few things to remove headers. If you have a 32 bit OS, SNEStool is an old program you can use. I have heard you can run it on 64 bit with DOSBox though. AN alternative is a program called SNESStuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew147 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 I've tried using the SFC/SNES ROM UTILITY program, but it still says that its corupted. Does anyone have a rom that already has this patch on? If you do, could you please send me it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantairu Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I'm pretty sure we aren't allowed to link to roms on here. I'm assuming you've applied an english patch to FE4 before? If so its basically the same process I think. Or you could always just ask Shin himself and he could tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Mage Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) If you're trying to use the current version of Shin patch, it won't work. There's something wrong with the patch, two extra bytes in the end of it corrupts the rom. Until Shin releases a fix for this current patch, a new one or someone provides you v1.93 you won't be able to play it.
