Part 5: The Future – Is a Perfect Patch Coming?

As of 2026, the Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes Wii English patch fix is considered 98% complete. The only known remaining bugs are:

  • Minor clipping in long item descriptions.
  • One untranslated line in the "Tournament Mode" victory screen.
  • No GC controller rumble support (Wii U vWii only).

A group called Basara Translation Collective is reportedly working on a full retranslation based on the PS3 HD remaster’s script. However, the Wii version remains the most accessible for low-end PCs and original hardware. For now, the fixed v2.0 patch is the gold standard. Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes (Wii) – English Patch

Fix 4: Restoring Untranslated Subtitles

For the missing voice subtitles, you need to merge the “Subtitle Expansion Pack” – a separate .gct file that works only on real Wii or Dolphin with Gecko OS.

  • Place the RSBE01.gct in /codes/ folder on your SD card (if on Wii) or in Dolphin’s Load/GeckoCodes/.
  • Enable Cheats in Dolphin or USB Loader GX. This adds 120+ missing battle subtitles.

2. Technical Fixes (Wii Hardware/Emulation)

The original Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes disc (and some early ISO rips) sometimes conflicted with specific Wii backup loaders or USB loading methods. Part 3: The Fix – Step-by-Step Solutions for

  • The Error: On some setups, the game would hang on a black screen after the copyright screen.
  • The Fix: Modern USB loaders (like USB Loader GX or WiiFlow) usually have this resolved via updated cIOS setups (specifically using d2x cIOS base 56 or 57). If you are patching an ISO, the patched version often requires forcing a specific video mode (NTSC) to prevent flickering on PAL consoles.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Dolphin Emulator (Easiest Method)

  1. Extract your game – Use Wii Backup Fusion or CleanRip to get an ISO file.
  2. Verify the hash – Use HashMyFiles to ensure your ISO matches the original Japanese CRC (avoid bad dumps).
  3. Download XDelta – Launch XDelta UI, select your original ISO as the source, and the .xdelta patch as the patch file.
  4. Apply patch – Output a new ISO (e.g., SB2H_English_Fixed.iso).
  5. Configure Dolphin – Go to Graphics > Hacks > Skip EFB Access from CPU (uncheck to prevent crashes). Set Audio to LLE Recompiler.
  6. Load the patched ISO – Play. The main menu should now read "Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes" in English.

2. Required tools

  • Wii ISO tool (e.g., WiiScrubber or similar) for repacking.
  • A reliable patcher (often xdelta GUI or IPS/UPS patcher depending on patch format).
  • A checksum tool to verify file integrity (MD5/CRC32).
  • Wii homebrew tools if testing on real hardware (e.g., Homebrew Channel, cIOS, USB Loader).

Gameplay Impressions (With Patch)

The Good:

  • The translation is wonderfully hammy. Masamune’s “Are you ready, guys?!” and Yukimura’s “Oyakata-sama!” retain their meme energy.
  • All 30+ characters’ move lists are now readable. You can finally understand how to trigger Oichi’s dark orb summon.
  • The “Heroes” mode (dual-character tag team) works flawlessly – no desyncs in co-op.

The Bad:

  • One minor bug remains: The “Battle Records” menu still shows two untranslated Japanese lines for total playtime. Everything else is fine.
  • Wii Remote + Nunchuk controls are still awkward (use a Classic Controller or GameCube pad).

The Ugly (Historical): The original patch’s author disappeared in 2012, leaving behind a broken .ppf file. The fix took a decade because the translation script was hardcoded to specific memory addresses – the revival team had to rebuild the table from scratch.
