I'm having the same problem, having reached Chapter 4 and losing my progress after closing the game last night and re-opening it. Unless there's a fix for this I'm missing, I have no choice but to play in Japanese, which I'm not very fluent in.
Iansen 13 Jan 2024 14:45
I found somehow a little work-around: Using RALibRetro, i manage to make a save state, obviously you cannot load it in HC mode, just disable the hardcore mode, load the save state and re-enable hardcore, the game will reset, but the save will be there to be contiued upon!

@Iansen Thank you so much, I was legitimately starting to lose hope that there'd be any solution for this one. Will be crossing posting this in the forum thread since I saw a few people have the same issue there.
Iansen 29 Jan 2024 15:58
Glad I was of use to someone! Although I feared it would be considered somehow as cheating? But the other option was to not play at all, so I thought to let people know there was a way. Everything I did, was in good faith :)
laerteserdrick 13 Mar 2024 16:49
perdi mi progreso en el nivel 11, supongo que debi leer comentarios y foros antes de empezar a jugar, recomiendo encarecidamente tener saves y usarlos siempre antes de terminar la mision.
sammybam88 14 Mar 2024 22:59
why are none of my translations working? it displays no achievements, and I don't really wanna play it in Japanese
Nagasakice 9 Apr 2024 22:13
Add support for a newer English translation from Polinym, please
Nydaxn 13 May 2024 23:32
Hey guys, I'm seeing that some of you are having issues with the linked English patch, so I've added the Polinym translation as an additional option as I am told it should not have the save file issue - Some of that translation may not match the names referenced in the achievements, but they should trigger as planned when unlocked - If you decide to use this patch and find any that do not trigger, please create a ticket so I can resolve those issues.

Apologies on the delay, direct messages or discord will be the quickest way to reach me :)

Mastered!

thanks, nydaxn.

For anyone STILL having issue with saving in the ROM: download nes2edit, pick the ROM, select "batter-backed SRAM", and then click apply. The ROM should now be able to save.
Nydaxn 2 Feb 2025 21:04
Some quick notes as I've received a few tickets recently:

Bizhawk is having a lot of compatibility issues, so please use the supported cores with Retroarch to avoid problems

Also, the Polinym translation is causing additional issues that weren't coming up with the other 2 versions - While I'm not removing the option to use that patch at this time, please be aware that it may not have full compatibility

This game is too similar to Famicom Wars. Like they want to do a spin-off.
FigNewton 13 Feb 2025 19:17
I still have a fun time with these old games. With perspective, there's flaws in FE1 that would be improved as time moves one and yet it's still holds up to this day. I kinda wish modern titles in the franchise went back to the routes that FE1, specifically not worrying about characters dying because the game gives you so many characters that you shouldn't feel concerned not being able to beat the game. Having said that, I do recommend playing this game to anyone who either wants to start from the beginning or want to witness the birth of a legendary franchise and the start of the SRPG genre as a whole.

If there was an extra achievement I could add, it would be activating a triangle attack though by the time you do get Est to potentially use the attack, you have much stronger units you want to deploy and it's not like you need a triangle attack to survive a battle.
Dyhalto 16 Mar 2025 02:15
First time playing this game and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. It brought me back to the early 00s when I first discovered a Gaiden translation and had to directly compare mine and enemy stats, do some head math to predict outcomes, and generally be fully engaged, whereas later entries in the series can be played on autopilot.

That said, it is EXTREMELY clunky and I don't see myself playing it again anytime in the near future :V
UltimateSuperX 19 Apr 2025 17:29
I really want to play this game. Has Polinym's issues been fix or is there still problems?
Lyn 22 Apr 2025 16:22
Seconding this question. Trying to figure out if this still has saving issues and what translation patch should be used currently.
BennyFresh 28 Apr 2025 14:09
Thirding the Polinym question.
Even figuring out that I had to and how to patch and how to keep the working was a pain in the ass.
I'm still working with an outdated translation where Marth=Mars, but I don't want to switch if the save issue is still present.
Dyhalto 28 Apr 2025 16:00
I used 'Fire Emblem - Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light (Japan) [T-Eng by Polinym v1.4] [n]' with the FCEUmm core. No issues to my recollection.
Brea 28 Apr 2025 21:06
Estou tentando jogar, mas o salvamento acaba sempre dando algum bug. Simplesmente não consigo voltar para o capítulo que eu estava quando fecho o game.
