Hack description

Here comes a new version of Kinnikuman DX Edition! After considering the suggestions made by RHDN user Redhotiron2004, several improvements are implemented in the project, which is reborn as "Dreammatch":

● The most notable improvement lies in its compatibility, with 5 patches that work with almost all existing roms (Check README file).

● Japanese title screen is updated with slight improvements.

● New title screen for the US version that catches the style of the manga/anime.

● Added a brand new text font that gives the game a new feel.

● Revised (again) Top Bar design.

● Added intentional differences between US/Japanese versions (check README file).

● Inside the compressed file you can find the README.txt available in three languages, English, Spanish and Portuguese.

● Also as a bonus, here are 3 covers specially designed for the occasion:

Lovely hack. Really made the characters pop with unique personality.redhotiron20042020-09-16Version 2.1

This graphic hack really makes the characters stand out and with "Muscle supreme patch this game has really come to life. The only problem that I faced while using this patch is that it is only compatible with "Kinnikuman - Muscle Tag Match (Japan)" ROM and does not work with the latest Japanese (Rev1) or USA version "M.U.S.C.L.E. - Tag Team Match (USA)". Also, the life bar of the characters seems to be buggy and can sometimes decide to not change at all until you get more damage. I definitely prefered the original ball look in the life bar that was easier to follow. I hope that the creator might look into this. Overall this is a must-have patch if you want to play this game.
