Let's Play Fire emblem: Chapter 18: The Dread Isle

[sextus the crazy]

At this point you should probably just emulate them (FFTA 1 at least, I don't know your opinion on the DS emulators).

Emulators??

You haven't heard of an emulator before?

emulation tutorial [http://fantasyanime.com/emuhelp/index.htm]

a DS emulator, DeSmuME [http://desmume.org/]

All my LPs are and will be done using emulators and using built in screen capture technology.

So... still not entirely sure what to do. I have windows 7 on my Computer so I am not sure how to proceed here. i would really like to get my hands on some of the Fire emblem games. Is the current lets play one available on emulator? I remember playing it as a kid and would love to get a copy somehow.

Pretty much everything is availible for emulation on any handheld DS or before & any console N64 of before. Really any system with the large majority of games are 2D has a good emulator for it. New ones like the DS are a little buggy, but otherwise they're good.

If there is a emulator for a system, just about every game for that system is on it, barring newer systems.

here's how to work the thing.

1. make a file named "emulation" or something obvious like that
2. inside "emulation", put a file named "DS" or "GBA" or whatever system your working with.
3. Download your emulator (it will be zipped file) and place it in "DS" or "GBA" or whatever
4. Extract the emulator from it's file (if you don't have a file extractor, download 7zip, its's free.)

emulators I use:

NES: Nestopia
SNES: ZSNES
GB: BGB
GBA: Virtual Boy Advanced (VBA)
DS: DeSmuME and NO$GBA (if a game doesn't work for one, it will work for the other.)
No$Zoomer is good for fixing NO$GBA bugs (black screen stuff especially)

5. Find some roms (Cool roms is a comprehensive site for this stuff)
6. Download roms and extract them in their appropriate folders.
7. boot up whatever emulator you're using and look at the drop down menus
8. Look for something called "joypad" or "controller"
9. Change the controls to whatever fits you.
For nintendo stuff I use:
the a,s,d,q,w,e keys for face and shoulder buttons (ABXYRL)
start = enter
left shift = select
directional buttons = d-pad
F12= screen cap

for DS I use:
WASD = D-Pad
directional buttons = ABXY as according to their location on the DS
same start and select assignments
mouse & right mouse click for stylus

10. go to file and load to boot up your rom.
11. if you need a translation patch for the game, ill give further instructions

Word to the wise: 3D game running platforms are the ones that require the most effort

Consult me or fantasyanime.com for more emulation info.

[sextus the crazy]

Is it Virtual Boy or Visual Boy for the GBA?

oops. Visual Boy (just type VBA)

[HEADING=2] Let?s Play Fire Emblem: Chapter 12: Birds of a Feather [/HEADING]​

Our first Battle in Eliwood?s story against a large force.

Spoiler

WHAT, SONNY? I?M AFRAID YOU?LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP. MY HEARINGS NOT TO GOOD.

?my speech bubbles are still large.

That was fifty years ago, Marques. Elbert?s dead. Eliwood is all grown up now. You just have Alzheimer?s.

It?s not really Lying if you murder him.

I didn?t say shit, but I?ll take credit.

Grandparents (family related or not) are always good sources for backup money.

You?re too fat to be poor. All fat, poor persons are Americans and you are not one.

Do I look like someone who does anything quickly?

The plot, the thing that binds us, no matter how flimsy.

It?s a secret to everybody.

This is one of the only time the game even alludes to support conversations.

Becca, you so good.

Why aren?t you sucking, Eliwood? I must know!

Did you just murder a soldier of an allied nation state? Jesus Christ, that would be a diplomatic nightmare in real life.

Hey! It?s?

?Matthew! Awesome!

We?ll talk about my wanton manslaughter later, Oswin!

He?s like Wallace, except useful throughout the entire game rather than just in the prologue. Also he?ll be faster.

Only one Wolf Beil in the game and it?s right here.

He?s the tanky one. Probably one of the best units in the game. He?s like Oswin, but faster and uses axes.

Hector just bashed that fucker?s skull in.

Stock up on shit here for next level.

Looks like he actually hit her leg.

Rebecca can one-round kill that guy

Despite his sickness.

Serra, you?re an endless source of humor.

Hmm? League of assassins. We?ve NEVER encountered THAT before.

Come on, who?d want Blandiwood here dead?

Emphasis on WAS.

So I murdered him.

I always am.

Speak for yourself, asshat.

Not bad.

Oh god! Is it?

Very. *rolls eyes*

Question of the day: Now that Serra and Matthew are back what familiar face do you think We?ll see next?

 

[sextus the crazy]

Is it Virtual Boy or Visual Boy for the GBA?

oops. Visual Boy (just type VBA)

Also, is there a program for cleaning up the look of the games. I just got both fire emblems, and i remember seeing something like that on one of the sites I visited. Are there any safe ones you could recommend?

Edit post is your friend.

You seem to have everything under control. Visit fantasyanime.com in their VG emulation for newbies section for help picking visual stuff. It's all built in to the emulator.

PS. spacebar fast forwards the game
PPS. F12 screen cap creates files called "(game name)_1", 2, 3 etc. When you close the emulator, it starts at 1 again, overwriting any previous pictures named 1, 2, 3, etc.
PPPS. Save States. Press shift + F1-F10 to save, F1-F10 to load. Save & load a game at any point. DON'T USE IT TO REPLACE HARD SAVING THOUGH. Save states are .SGM, save files are .SAV

Meh. Serra's not as fun when Erk's not around to play straight man. Kind of like Zap Brannagan and Kiff in Futurama. I really hope Erk's the next unit you recruit. I know he isn't, but I like him a lot.

[HEADING=2]Let?s Play Fire Emblem: Chapter 13: In Search of Truth[/HEADING]​

We fight our way to Santaruz.

Spoiler

But what is more frightening than murder, Helman?

What? The shady, cloaked figure killed someone who left him? Who woulda guessed?

Haven?t I killed you before?

I thought it was funny.

Why are you telling Matthew? He already knows the guy, dumbass.

Chap 13x unlocked!

What?

Dead.

God damn, Eliwood.

Let?s Kritzkreig this muthafucka!

First Support conversation!

Hector vs. the capital of Idaho, but misspelled

HULK SMASH!

Hell yeah, Hector!

Suddenly, Daytime.

Reissman? What aren?t you supposed to be in Caelin?

?Get a Muthafuckin? party up in *****!

FE hard mode in a nutshell.

What you think of the first support convo? There will be more coming along?

Personally, I have a soft spot in my heart for Bartre, who I find to be entertaining & interesting. Too bad, he's so fuckin' slow when he starts out.

 

[Aircross]

I always chose Bartre over Dorcas myself. I arena abuse him against Soldiers and Knights since they almost never double him. I support him with Canas since I bench Dorcas after getting Bartre.

Btw, his daughter's hot.

I love support convos! They almost always make me laugh. Especially Bartre-Dorcas ones. It reminds me so much of the Kakashi-Gai scenes in Naruto.

I never use either Hector and Dart outclass them by miles.

Fir is somewhat attractive, but I prefer Louise personally.

And you call yourself the greatest commenter alive?!

I like the Canas-Bartre ones personally.

Bartre is so stupid that, sometimes, he's smart.

 

[Aircross]

Very true, but my light OCD kinda forces me to have at least one lvl 20/20 character in each class. XD

He makes a very good archer though if you get lucky with his skill and speed. Nothing like seeing the 30 cap in strength transferred into a bow.

If I want a powerful archer, wil usually can one-shot squishy units with a steel bow.

[HEADING=2] Let?s Play Fire Emblem: Chapter 13x: The Peddler Merlinus [/HEADING]​

A nighttime side chapter. Oh Yeah, It?s Muthafuckin? Fog of War!

Spoiler

Fuck Yeah, Merlinus! Peddle that shit!

This is a side chapter. Doing anything of significance to the plot would fuck the continuity.

Look at my face. THIS.IS.MY.ANGRY.FACE.

Ooooooo. You like her. Seriously, Hector? What are you, twelve? If so then what is this?

Hey, It?s Peter Pettigrew and that guy Rath killed in Chapter Six.

Hey, My Grandpa fought in Puzon! ?No, wait, that was Luzon. But you can see how that man and a Filipino landmass could be confused.

Got to say, Puzon, I like your face. It?s half derpy, half swagger.

Open your eyes. You?ll be able to see better.

Prancin? aboot with yer heads full a? eyeballs.

Side chapter! That means?

Second favorite map theme activate!

Not one for combat, are we?

Rescue that shit, pronto!

Jesus Christ, Eliwood!

To quote the engineers from Company of Heroes, ?If a Mouse farts in this goddamn minefield, I want his ass blown sky high!?

Not only are they thugs, but they also hate the environment.

Hector?s just a blue JRPG tank.

Pointless combat scene!

Fuck!

Rush the house.

Come to think of it, We?re pretty much just using Royal authority to mug everyone.

Speed, plz.

My last what?

Burn.

Epic Burn.

Just in case you were wondering, here?s my favorite.


And another good one.


And another.


And Another.


Radiant Dawn, you may suck, but your music kicks all kinds of ass.

Question of the day: What?s your favorite FE map theme? If you don?t have one, what map/dungeon themes do you like?
