Q: Is this patch legal?
A: Only if you own a legitimate, retail copy of Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes for the Wii (NTSC-J). Patching is a transformative fair use for preservation and personal enjoyment.
Q: Does the fix work on the PS2 version?
A: No. This article and all patches apply strictly to the Wii version (which has better performance, widescreen, and two-player co-op). The PS2 translation project is separate and buggier.
Q: My game still crashes on “Dragon’s Palace” stage. What do I do?
A: That’s Masamune Date’s stage. A specific fix exists: In Dolphin, go to Properties > Game Config and add the line FPRF = True under [Core]. This disables floating-point rounding that triggers a crash.
Q: Can I use my old save file from the unpatched Japanese version?
A: Yes, but the text will be corrupted. You must start a new save after applying the full fix pack. There is no save converter. sengoku basara 2 heroes wii english patch fix
