The game was developed by Marvelous Entertainment and plays like a fast-paced 2D tag-team fighter. Think Marvel vs. Capcom but with Dying Will Flames. You select two characters (the "Tag" mechanic) and can swap them mid-combo to create devastating synergy attacks.
Q: Will this patch work on the PS3 (Adrenaline) or PSTV? A: Yes. Since the PSP emulator on those devices is flawless, the patched ISO works perfectly.
Q: Does this include the Shimon Family DLC? A: The base patch translates the existing data. If you have a DLC unlocker (or a pre-patched ISO with DLC included), the text for Enma and the others will appear in English. The patch team translated the DLC strings in Version 1.0.

Q: Is there an undub version? A: The Japanese version already features the original anime voice actors (Takashi Kondo as Tsuna, Hidekazu Ichinose as Hibari). The translation does not alter audio.
Q: My antivirus is flagging the XDelta patcher. Is it safe? A: XDelta is a legitimate tool, but some antivirus software flags patchers because they modify executable files. This is a false positive. Ensure you downloaded XDelta from the official SourceForge or GitHub repository.
