::Code title and :::comment under spoilers start with 2 and 3 colons because that's the format used by r4cce, a program for editing usrcheat.dat and other cheat databases. If you copy the code and the lines with colons above it to the clipboard, you'll be able to paste it in r4cce as a whole cheat code (instead of copy-pasting lines one by one and code into 3 different fields in the program).
The recent re-release of FE1 made me look at its previous re-release. I found that it's a game which is too good to drop, but the developers made too many decisions which I simply cannot accept. Some people felt this way too, and it resulted in so-called "Full Content Patch" which is only available for the US version of the game.
Shadow Dragon Action Replay codes below do mostly the same thing as FCP except for FE12 visuals and the Sync patch - but for the European version of the game, because that's what I have and what needs them. Some of them I made from scratch, some of them I ported from other versions of the game, some I used as a base to improve on. I don't know who made what, but I used their work and claiming it as my own would be wrong, so I won't tell what exactly is mine, what's mostly mine and what's barely mine. They're all yours, enjoy.
If the map is already populated (i.e.you are loading a Savepoint or Suspended Save), enemy stats and equipment will remain as is; if you're loading Chapter Save, the change will be effective immediately.
All these assume English is the game's language; remove the first line in every cheat if you're playing in other language. It's only there to remind the player that the difficulty is being overriden by the cheat and does nothing else.
Other chapter numbers are in Map Swap cheat.
Note that Campaign Summary records all chapters you've completed and the memory/space in save file for that list can be (very) limited. Exceeding that size can overwrite critical game structures and crash the game or corrupt your save.
I know for a fact that exceeding maximum number of units in the army crashes the game and the same thing is theoretically possible with the list of completed chapters. In short, there are 34 maps that can be legitimately completed in one playthrough, and any map played after 34 can become your last. Or maybe the devs allocated enough space for New Game+, who knows?
This can give you a playthrough you always wanted but were not allowed to have. Experiment and have fun!
Other, basic cheats for Shadow Dragon can be found in cheat databases such as this one:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/deadskullzjrs-nds-cheat-databases.488711/
Get usrcheat.dat from there, open it in r4cce and paste the cheats you want from this thread in there, then use the .dat file with a flashcart or an emulator of your choice.

Whenever the game needs a unit as an actor for the cutscene, it will temporarily make them join the corresponding party (your or enemy's), say whatever lines they have to say and leave the party. The cheat prevents them from leaving, but only during the first half of the game; they come and go freely because they don't join anyone's side in the second half of the game, but whoever you had captured by Ch.15 stays in the party permanently.
This means that you can have Malledus and Nina, unnamed Pegasus Knight and Cavalier actors (who play Shiida and Hardin in the cutscenes) in your party, and keep very important persons at your side all the time.
By the way, I don't know what will happen many chapters later if you choose to sacrifice Jiol during the Prologue (using Control Enemy cheat). Have fun finding that out.
Also, you probably shouldn't force Gharnef to stay when he wants to leave.

You can only paste the class once. Copy it again before pasting the same class on one more unit, if need be.
Use "Show ALL menus" cheat for the cases when the class you want is not on anyone currently on the map, but someone in another save does have it (or can be legitimately reclassed to it) - load that save, copy class, Surrender, load the save you want, paste class. Soft reset via L+R+START+SELECT wipes the "clipboard", and you don't want that.
Also, copied Falcoknight class is not permanent and will be replaced with Dracoknight if you reclass her legitimately later. This probably works the other way too, but I didn't test that.
You might want to reclass Decoy into Chameleon (he can't use his Rapier as a Lord anyway) and/or have an Earth Dragon from Endgame in your party, as Malledus is rather useful as a reptilian.
Fun fact: Lena on Debug Map is a Curate, not Cleric. I couldn't stand suchtrap heresy, shed a manly tear for the poor Julian and this cheat happened, to bring back justice and tits.

021C9B74 E8BD8010
If you don't like it when the game lies to you about the probability. FE's lies uncovered:
The Random Number Generator, or RNG, is a mechanic that, obviously, randomly generates numbers. This mechanic is almost key to the Fire Emblem formula, producing two numbers when one engages in battle: hit and critical. The hit percentage is out of one hundred. For example, if the hit number was 75, and the RNG produced 74, then it is a hit. If it produces 76 or higher, then it is a miss. The same process is used for determining criticals, but a solid hit is usually required in order for one to be possible. RNG is also used to determine what stats a unit gains when leveling up or describe forms of "infinite items" tricks in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.
Note that in all games starting from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, the Random Number Generator generates two numbers instead of one for hit chance, and the average of the numbers is the true hit value; in other words, a displayed hit (hit shown on screen) of 75 will actually hit on any two numbers whose average is less than or equal to 75. The effect on overall accuracy of attacks makes a sigmoid effect: it becomes exceedingly rare for an accurate attack (90+ hit) to miss, while inaccurate attacks (Hit lesser than 50) will land far less often than its hit rate would suggest. This is beneficial to the player, as their units usually have higher hit rates while the enemy units tend to have lower hit rates. However, for Fire Emblem releases that are released before Fire Emblem: Binding Blade, like Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 and translated into English by fans of the series, the RNG has not been changed and as a result, enemy units may seem more likely to hit the player's units.

Whenever the game counts your army size, it will see the number at the end of E3A00.. instruction (4). This can be used (not) to get reinforcements and to access x-chapters, but the checks happen at different times (Norne's is immediately after Seize, but Athena's is after long cutscene that follows Seize in Chapter 6 and so on) so use Next Chapter Swap code if you want to play Gaiden chapters (you do) instead of this. Gaidens require 14 units at most (fake with ..0E), max reinforcements come at 1, 0 hangs the game

Note that Campaign Summary records all chapters you've completed and the memory/space in save file for that list can be (very) limited. Exceeding that size can overwrite critical game structures and crash the game or corrupt your save.
I know for a fact that exceeding maximum number of units in the army crashes the game and the same thing is theoretically possible with the list of completed chapters. In short, there are 34 maps that can be legitimately completed in one playthrough, and any map played after 34 can become your last. Or maybe the devs allocated enough space for New Game+, who knows?

Change the value at the end of E3A00.. instruction.
1-9 = Chapter 1-9; A-F = Ch.10-15; 10-18 = Ch.16-24; 19 = Endgame; 1A-1E = 6x,12x,17x,20x,24x; 1F-22 = Prologue I-IV; 23-24 = Prologue I-II again; 25 = Campaign Summary; 26+ = Arena I-VI
When you load a saved/suspended game, this cheat will replace the map below the units with the terrain of the selected chapter. Different things will happen if it's a Chapter Save or save created in Preparations mode, but generally this changes the order of who and when joins your party. If you start with a save created before Prologue I (there's a cheat for that) and carefully select chapters for map swap, you can build a party you want from the whole roster of recruitable characters by the early chapters of the game.
