+# Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
+
+## Where is the settings page?
+
+Take a look at the options and generate a YAML [here](../player-settings).
+
+## What does randomization do to this game?
+
+Almost every playable unit and every enemy on every map is assigned a random
+class and given a new, randomized inventory to match. Additionally, all player
+units will share fixed weapon ranks across the party and are prevented from
+gaining experience beyond a given level cap, both of which can be advanced by
+collecting checks.
+
+## How do I collect checks?
+
+Currently, checks are awarded for clearing story chapters and receiving holy
+weapons in cutscenes.
+
+## What other non-randomized changes are there from vanilla FE8?
+
+There are a few quality of life improvements meant to bring the game more
+in-line with modern titles.
+
+- Battle animations can be toggled on/off by holding L.
+- Pressing Select will display the attack range of all enemies.
+- Units' HP bars now display on the map.
+- The UI will alert you of enemies carrying effective weapons.
+- Battle statistics (damage, hit, etc) will display even with battle animations
+  turned off.
+
+## Can I play offline?
+
+Yes, the client and connector are only necessary for sending and receiving
+items. If you're playing a solo game, you don't need to play online unless you
+want the rest of Archipelago's functionality (like hints and auto-tracking). If
+you're playing a multiworld game, the client will sync your game with the server
+the next time you connect.
+
+## Are any modernized mechanics in this mod?
+
+This is in the works, but will take a long time. It will require developing a
+lot of new infrastructure on the modding side to selectively apply changes
+according to an option.
+
+## Is this randomizer compatible with other mods, or ROM or save editing tools?
+
+Basic adjustments with FEBuilder should work, but installing more involved
+patches may brick your ROM. We make no guarantees about patch compatibility.
+
+Save editing will likely not work.

+# Fire Emblem Sacred Stones Setup Guide
+
+## Required Software
+
+- [Archipelago](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/releases)
+(Make sure to select `Bizhawk Client` during installation)
+- An English FE: Sacred Stones ROM. The Archipelago community cannot provide this.
+- [BizHawk](https://tasvideos.org/BizHawk/ReleaseHistory) 2.8 or later
+
+### Configuring BizHawk
+
+Once you have installed BizHawk, open `EmuHawk.exe` and change the following settings:
+
+- If you're using BizHawk 2.8, go to `Config > Customize`. Switch to the Advanced tab, then switch the Lua Core from
+`NLua+KopiLua` to `Lua+LuaInterface`. Then restart EmuHawk. This is required for the Lua script to function correctly.
+(If you're using BizHawk 2.9, you can skip this step.)
+- Under Config > Customize, check the "Run in background" box. This will prevent disconnecting from the client while
+EmuHawk is running in the background.
+- Open a `.gba` file in EmuHawk and go to `Config > Controllers…` to configure your inputs. If you can't click
+`Controllers…` it's because you need to have any `.gba` ROM loaded first.
+- Consider clearing keybinds in `Config > Hotkeys…` if you don't intend to use them. Select the keybind and press Esc to
+clear it.
+
+## Generating and Patching a Game
+
+1. Create your settings file (YAML). You can make one on the
+[FE8 settings page](../../../games/Fire%20Emblem%20Sacred%20Stones/player-settings).
+2. Follow the general Archipelago instructions for [generating a game](../../Archipelago/setup/en#generating-a-game).
+This will generate an output file for you. Your patch file will have the `.apfe8` file extension.
+3. Once you have a patch file, either open that patch file with the `ArchipelagoLauncher` program or open
+`ArchipelagoLauncher` and click "Open Patch" to patch your game. This will create a `.gba` file using your dumped ROM
+and the patch file. It will also open the client and try to open the newly-created `.gba` file in your emulator. If you
+want it to automatically open the ROM in BizHawk you need to register `.gba` files with `EmuHawk.exe`.
+
+If you're playing a single-player game, you don't need to do anything else. You can close the client and play the
+patched ROM offline in whatever emulator you wish. However, even single-player games can benefit from playing online to
+get hints, cheat in items, and use auto-tracking. If you'd like any of those features, or if you're playing a multiworld
+game, continue to the next section.
+
+## Connecting to a Server
+
+1. Once the emulator and client are running you need to connect them. In EmuHawk, go to `Tools > Lua Console`. This
+window must stay open while you're playing.
+2. In this new window, go to `Script > Open Script…` (you can also press `Ctrl+O` or click the folder icon).
+3. Navigate to your Archipelago install folder and open `data/lua/connector_bizhawk.lua`. The Lua Console window
+should indicate that it connected to the client.
+4. To connect the client to the server, put `<address>:<port>` into the top text field and click `Connect`. (If the
+server uses a password, type `/connect <address>:<port> <password>` into the bottom text field and press enter.)
+
+You should now be able to receive and send items. You'll need to do these steps every time you want to reconnect.
+
+If your connection ever stops working, simply save your game, close both the client and emulator, and do these steps
+again. You will automatically receive any items you might have missed, and send any items you collected as soon as you
+reconnect. This issue can sometimes happen if emulation is paused for more than a few seconds (e.g. spending time in a
+menu or resizing the window).
