Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones: Void's Blitzarre Adventure

The Fire Emblem romhacking community has a bad habit of being unable to complete things. In all the years the Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem games have existed, a mere two romhacks have been completed to a decent standard; http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/962/ and http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3555/

The reason why things often fail to get completed? Getting overly hung-up on polish and quality, losing motivation trying to reach perfection in vain. The members of the Fire Emblem Universe forum had enough. Over one week, the members got their heads together and made a full thirty-chapter hack.

Join Void, and her uncanny lack of luck similar to a certain shaman from the vanilla Sacred Stones, as she seeks to defeat the evil Demon King. The hack features new portraits, edited graphics in many places, custom music, several ASM hacks, and is the first instance of a full skill system being hacked into a Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem game for more than a tech demo.

## Things you need:

### To just play:
Apply CCB_Round1.ups to a clean FE8 (U) rom using NUPS or Multipatch.

### To build:

Get a clean rom called "FE8_clean.gba" and put it in the extracted folder.

Run MAKE HACK_full when you make text or table changes, otherwise MAKE HACK_quick is enough.

## Tips:

- Press Select at the map to see danger zone
- Press Select at the stat screen to see growths
- Hold L to toggle animations on/off
- Hold A to speed up unit movement
- The movement arrow allows you to press A on allies and enemies
- FLASHY MODE: any hit that kills a boss becomes a critical
- There is a certain secret code...

## Known Issues:

- Stone can sometimes crash the game when used on phantoms/Mark, resetting usually fixes this?
- Rarely, hp update in animations is wrong e.g. attacks showing no damage but enemy is hurt afterwards. If this happens while killing a boss, their death quote will not play and it may not trigger the Defeat Boss condition.
- Dancers can double if the enemy has Nihil - this will crash the game if animations are on. Hold L to turn them off if required.
- Resetting the game mid attack can sometimes give a unit the galeforce effect
- Devil effect is incompatible with counter/sol/etc, so it has been removed. Devil Axes will never backfire.
- Armsthrift can sometimes heal you? needs investigation
- Rarely, the game will freeze when you try to canto, reset and resume should fix it.
- Some bosses have weird weapon ranks/personal skills
- Units without a weapon equipped will display Str instead of Mag, even if they are a staff user/magic unit
- Astra in the arena will keep attacking thin air after the unit is dead
- Turn count in the credits skips several chapters
- Most houses don't work (but some do)
