Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Decompilation

About

A decompilation and disassembly of the Japanese version of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (Seima no Kouseki, game code BE8J). It builds the ROM fireemblem8.gba and is described as in progress.

Getting started

It needs an ARM toolchain and an asset toolchain; running make compare builds the ROM from the committed source and checks it against a SHA-1 checksum. A local copy of the original ROM is optional and is used only for reverse-engineering and diff tools, never as a build input.

What you need to run it

Modding & tools

• Reverse engineering uses IDA Pro Hex-Rays and Ghidra connected over MCP, and decomp-permuter for near-matching functions.
