2. About the patch

The Heroes of Shadow presents the "Fire Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow" English translation patch. This patch [completely] translates the original Japanese version of "Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem ~Heroes of Light and Shadow~" into English.

You will need the original Japanese ROM to use this patch and a Nintendo DS emulator or flashcart to play the game. Do not ask us where to obtain any of these.

This patch is provided free of charge, for the benefit of the fans. If you find anybody charging money for the patch, do NOT pay them and, if necessary, contact the Heroes of Shadow.

[Small] donations to the Heroes of Shadow are welcome however: these will be used to fund non-profit and non-gain Fire Emblem endeavours. To donate, please visit the Heroes of Shadow site/blog. If in doubt of the site's authenticity, do NOT donate!

If you want to thank the group, feel free to post a message on the Heroes of Shadow site/blog.

If you really want to support the group, please consider buying the upcoming Fire Emblem: Awakening on the Nintendo 3DS; that way you'll support Nintendo, so they can develop and translate more Fire Emblem games, which is the same as supporting us.
