TheEnd Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 A translated FE3 (or FE12!) would necessarily be a pirate cartridge, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how all of them are using the New Mystery of the Emblem artwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good. ... including this one. These are ROMs burned into flash carts. You're literally giving money to pirates here.

You're literally giving money to pirates here.Fully realize. I don't care. It's convinient for me and that's all I care about. Also, it's not like Nintendo makes money off of these games anymore, especially in NA where they were never released. If Nintendo translated FE4 and released it here, of course I would buy it.

MCProductions Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 ^Fully agree with the above. I own repro copies of FE3 and 6, but if either of those were released stateside, be it VC or whatever, I'd buy them again. Till then tho, I'm using the glorified bootleg repro carts, because I prefer to be as authentic as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookofholsety Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) the nintendo-ain't-profiting-anymore point is a decent justification for the free distribution of fan translations, but when it comes to repro makers actually making $$$$$$$$ off nintendo's ip, not so much. the argument is that a free distribution of a game that nintendo is not selling in a region is not actively taking funds which should rightfully go to nintendo, and therefore nintendo has no particular reason to care or throw legal hammers at the translation, but when funds are being actively taken by somebody who is not nintendo, there's kind of a problem there to say nothing of how these repro makers are piggybacking off the months or even years of work by the fan translators who, 99% of the time, have not consented to having their work used like this and will see exactly zero dollars from the sale of the repro. there's a very good reason why a lot of animu fansubs and older game translations insert messages insisting that the work is not for sale like this it's convenient for you, sure. but it makes fan translators feel like shit. if you need convenience, get a multicart/flashcard/whatever separately, load the game onto the device, and use that instead. all the convenience with none of the shit-feeling translators Edited December 14, 2015 by bookofholsety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it wiped the save files whenever my copy of pearl attempted to read from it. I recomend just using a flashcart.

Unbeknownst to me it was a Hong Kong repro, and my elementary schooler self was devastated to find that the save corrupted out of nowhere. Also the whole "You're literally giving money to theives and encouraging them to continue stealing" thing. If you want a physical copy, go for a flashcart.

Book of Ereshkigal Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 There was a time I considered buying things like these, and I've also heard quality was an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A genuine emerald uses flash memory for saving while it still uses a battery for the internal clock. (For clock-based events like berries or tides) A copy I bought from Walmart in 2005 now says: "The internal battery has run dry. The game can be played. ||| However, clock-based events will no longer occur." SRAM has to be powered or it will lose its data, while this isn't the case for FLASH.

(i actually have a legitimate copy of Emerald that i got when it first came out, and gives the same message, as well as a legitimate copy of silver with sram and a dead battrery, which does not hold a save, so i should know that).
