Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

This is a decompilation of Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi (a.k.a. Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade).

It builds the following ROM:

• fe6.gba sha1: a57095da867de4d585c33d4394712986245fe6ca

GBAFE decompilation progress history can be found on laqieer's FE decomp portal.

Quick setup

• get a copy of the original rom (still required for every build for now), put it in this folder and name it fe6-base.gba.

# install dependencies
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential gcc-arm-none-eabi binutils-arm-none-eabi libpng-dev
python -m pip install requests argparse numpy pillow
./tools/install_agbcc.sh
./build_tools.sh

# make
make compare

In the future, a native GCC or GCC-like C compiler (such as clang) will be required to build tools, there is just no tool to build yet.

Building with Docker

If you're on Windows, MacOS, or a Linux distribution without the necessary packages, you can build the project using Docker, which will create a small Virtual Machine (VM) with all the tools you need.

• Download Docker Desktop and open it.
• Download our Dockerfile. Open a terminal and navigate to the Dockerfile's location.
• docker build --tag fe6_image . to build our Docker image.
• docker run -it --name fe6_container fe6_image to create a VM and boot into its shell.

The VM will have all dependencies preinstalled, and a setup.sh script which you can run to automatically clone the repo and build agbcc+tools. All you have to do is copy your ROM to the repo's root and run make compare to build the project. To copy files between the VM and host, use the docker cp command

On subsequent runs, you can start the VM again with docker start -ai fe6_container. Many IDEs and text editors, such as Visual Studio Code and CLion, have Docker integration and can connect to your VM for easy development.

Contributing

Please do. I'm going to be pretty strict on what I accept though, so mind your formatting and naming conventions.

You can also consider porting stuff between fe6 and fe8.
