The eighth game in the Fire Emblem series, the third release for the Game Boy Advance, and the second to be released outside of Japan. This game stars the royal twins of Renais, Eirika and Ephraim, as they try to find out why neighbouring kingdom Grado attacked their land and investigate into rumours of the Demon King being revived.

Sacred Stones brings back many features last seen in Fire Emblem Gaiden, such as a world map the protagonists navigate before battles and freely repeatable skirmishes that allow the player to grind up strength if they are struggling. It also introduces split promotions, allowing a unit to take an alternative route for their growth.

This hack is based on the Japanese version of Sacred Stones. It serves to recreate the two NES entries of the Fire Emblem series in a single hack. While the Dark Dragon and the Sword Light recreation is faithful to the original game, the Gaiden remake opts to replace the original game's maps with larger, more sprawling areas. These more represent compressed versions of the acts of the original game.

Some notes: Due to technical limitations, some empty chapters will play and complete before the game selection menu appears.
Though the Tower of Valni appears, it can be ignored.
Marth's death does not cause Game Over, due to a bug.

See the Fire Emblem Universe thread for more information. Note the original download was a pre-patched rom and was removed from FEU; this has been converted to a .ups patch to follow best practice.
