FE GBA Function Library

Read Online

This project is to doc functions in Fire Emblem Series on Gameboy Advance:

• FE6: 封印の剣 / Binding Blade
• FE7J: 烈火の剣
• FE7U: Blazing Sword
• FE8J: 聖魔の光石
• FE8U: The Sacred Stones

It is obvious that they share some source code. Here is my analysis result:

It can help hackers who does ASM/C hacking and make it easier to port engine hack between different games.

Powered by

This library is powered by debug-info ELF builds from the GBAFE decompilation projects:

• FE6: The Binding Blade - update.sh reads fireemblem6j/fe6.elf with nm -l for declarations and source-line links.
• FE8U: The Sacred Stones - update.sh reads fireemblem8u/fireemblem8.elf for FE8U declarations and links.
• FE8J: 聖魔の光石 / Seima no Kouseki - update.sh reads fireemblem8j/fireemblem8.elf for FE8J declarations and links.

Updating from decomp projects

update.sh refreshes the FE6, FE8U and FE8J decomp-derived function information from local ELF builds. By default it reads:

• ../fireemblem6j/fe6.elf
• ../fireemblem8u/fireemblem8.elf
• ../fireemblem8j/fireemblem8.elf

Override those paths when needed:

FE6_ELF=/path/to/fe6.elf FE8U_ELF=/path/to/fireemblem8.elf FE8J_ELF=/path/to/fireemblem8.elf ./update.sh

Each ELF must retain debug info so nm -l can map symbols back to source files and line numbers. If an ELF has no source-line symbols (for example a debug-stripped build), that game's list is left untouched instead of being overwritten with an empty file.

For generated linker scripts, lyn reference assembly, and Event Assembler symbol include files, use laqieer/FE-Clib-Decomp. This repository stays focused on cross-game function documentation.
