BS Fire Emblem: Akaneia Senkihen English translation

BSファイアーエムブレム アカネイア戦記編 · BS Fire Emblem: Akaneia Saga · BS Fire Emblem: Archanea War Chronicles

Darrman's English patches for all four episodes of the Satellaview Fire Emblem side story Akaneia Senkihen, a prequel to the Archanea games.

What's translated

Darrman translated everything stored in the four episodes, one patch per episode. The font comes from the VincentASM/RPGuy translation of Mystery of the Emblem, and a few unused script passages were adapted from research documented on The Cutting Room Floor. Version 1.0 came out in August 2020, and 1.01 a few days later fixed a missing enemy name and some class names in Episode 2.

Good to know

The patches translate only what is in the game data. The original broadcasts also had illustrations and live voice commentary that were never stored in the episodes, so the game is silent; Darrman suggests listening to recordings of the broadcast audio alongside. A few small menu glitches are listed as known issues.

Playing it

Apply each patch to your own copy of the matching episode, then load it through the Satellaview BIOS in an emulator that supports it, following the instructions in Darrman's GitHub repository. Each episode is meant to start a little after the hour, so you may need to set the emulated clock.
