Description:
This is a merged patch of all of Cirosan's previous mods for Shadow Dragon - it combines the Prologue in Hard Mode, Updated Gaiden Requirements Removal, Online Shop Items Integrated into Normal Gameplay, and Always Recruit Norne patches into one. This allows the player to recruit all units, experience all chapters, access all classes, and use the game's full inventory without content being locked behind death requirements, difficulty level, or the now-defunct Online Shop.
As an added bonus, this patch also comes with a variant that updates certain unit graphics and battle background graphics to their FE12 versions; comparison screenshots can be found below. In general, the FE12 graphics use a slightly brighter color palette and make the black outline around units less noticeable.
Finally, this mod includes a version which includes Arch's Sync Patch. This patch updates growth rates, class stats, and weapons to use their FE12 stats; however, it makes the game considerably easier than intended, as the FE12 statistics for these things were balanced for an entirely different game. Still, the option is provided here for those who would prefer it. Note that the Sync Patch includes the FE12 graphical update.
NB: All patches have a glitch on flashcarts - WHICH DOES NOT HAPPEN ON EMULATORS, ONLY FLASHCARTS - that will cause a softlock during the decoy cutscene in Prologue 4. This can be worked around by playing past that section on emulator (such as Desmume) and copying the save file back to the flashcart. The game will function perfectly on flashcarts after this section.
The combined patch without any extras is FE11FCP.xdelta.
The combined patch with the FE12 graphical updates is FE11FCPWithGraphics.xdelta.
The combined patch with Arch's Sync Patch is FE11FCPWithSyncPatch.xdelta.
USE ONLY ONE PATCH.
This was made using the US version of FE11, so you should use an .nds file from that region.
