Hey, so I downloaded a fresh fire emblem shadow dragon rom and decompressed it using dslazy. Then i went in using a lz77 decompressy fella and decompressed a copy of the database file as well as a bmap file. I made my changes in nightmare using the correct modules to my knowledge (opened database file and edited item data and class data; opened bmap file and edited character spawning data). I saved the changes and recompressed the database and bmap files, copied the decompressed rom, replaced the database file with my edited version and same for the bmap file, recompressed the rom and launched. The changes were not made on either the database edits or the bmap edits. Am I missing a step? I'm very new to fire emblem rom hacking so sorry if this is confusing or dumb.

Hi, I'm Kushu. I just recently found this forum and community after wanting to hack and edit fire emblem shadow dragon for a couple years. Decided I should finally join rather than lurking. I don't have many hobbies or irl occupations except for my job and my girlfriend, so this community is hopefully filling a void

I'm 18, I like to cook, and I like fire emblem games. Not much else I can tell off hand. Hope to meet you all and make some dumb rom hacks.
