Sacred Stones Recomp is a native Windows port of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones for the Game Boy Advance, made by Lordingard by statically recompiling the game's ARM and Thumb code into C, with the GBA video and sound hardware emulated around it.

It adds save states and rewind. It is a playable preview, released as a series of preview builds.

The download contains no game data. It needs Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (USA), dumped from your own cartridge, and a BIOS dump from your own Game Boy Advance.

## How to set it up

1. Download the Windows zip and extract it.
2. Run the program and point it at your Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones ROM and your GBA BIOS file.
3. Save states and rewind are available from the menu.
