This fixed my sound problems in NullDC and you should always run this game in PAL mode, you can still tell it to run in 60hz at the menu, but PAL mode seems to fix the audio lag. Also try using Cable Type VGA(1) under NullDC settings this seems to make it look better to me.

She is pretty cute and loves posting about Shenmue on her channel. Worth checking the channel out.

I see it as a plus as most fans heard Corey in the west on Shenmue 1 and 2 and if they brought in different voice actors it would be a fucking dumb move.

Goddammit at least for continuity sake!

I'll be taking on the task to tweet our most requested question on the Dojo's Twitter during #YouaskYu.

In this older topic http://www.shenmuedojo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=48183 some suggestions have been made already but not a whole lot.
We need more input on this and we need it fast to get the question out in time. So far asking about if we will get both dubs and fully voiced NPCs is the top pick from the old thread but not by much.

Please leave your most requested question here. Doesn't matter if you already tweeted it yourself.

Dank Bruder, du bist ein guter Mensch. Sie können diese passieren!

Sorry if mein Deutsch ist nich so gut. German is just a hobby for me. \:D/

I hear that BlueMue. I am actually having a friend mod a Dreamcast for me with the IDE HDD and Bios mods so I will be able to hook up my 1tb hdd to my Dreamcast(With SATA adapter) and put the full game set on my drive. The DC set is only something like I think 500gb or close to it for all 720+ games. That gives me lots of extra room for my Half-Life mods and other homebrews.

Thank Yu!

Actually you are right. Disc 4 is really the same disc on the 80 and 99 min versions. I had to re-rip my discs for the 80 min version to upload the game as it was completely lost to the net. The only problem was that I had lost the 4th disc but I remembered that disc 4 on the 99 min didn't have to be put on a 99 min disc at all and would in fact fit on an 80 min disc, so I pulled the ISO from that version to add to disc 4 of the standard version of the mod so people could play it. That is why the audio on disc 4 is pretty much flawless.

I had ordered the Banana disc's but they came in defective. This happened 2 times already now. I ordered some 100 min discs from the UK at the beginning of this month so I am just waiting on them to arrive in the US now. After I take care of the people I have on back order I will think about getting these hard to get discs to whoever I can, if this brand works out. These discs are white and printable this time so anybody can print off legit looking cd's. The only problem is these discs are more expensive than the ones from China and I have to pay for shipping.

I will reiterate. Stay away from the Deal Extreme Banana Media brand 99 min discs.

I got the PDF of the issue. Wow such a great read. It is 4 pages long.

Yes sir. The ones Nico sent me worked right away the first try no issues at all. I burnt with Alcohol 120% at lowest burn speeds which on my burner is 16x.

Yes, that is the only way they can label them as they are only made with a burner in house before they even get to the stage of a final release ready for mass production. Also, PAL betas are blue discs.

This is pretty awesome, hopefully this can be patched into iso's of the games with ease for those of us using 16x9 displays.

http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/widescreen-hacks.58620/

Could you look into patching it into the 99 min version of Shenmue 2 English dub too please?

Shenmue 2 Full English Xbox Speech mod for Sega Dreamcast is now a reality

There are 3 versions of this I will list below.

* If you want the version for standard 80 min CDR's, grab the first link.

* If you want to run the best release on real hardware with better quality voices than the video above, you can get the 99 min CDR version and special 850mb disc's.

* If you want to get a perfect version that has each disc over 1gb in size, you can get the version at the very end of this post that is perfect for Emulation, or Dreamcast ODE's.

The AHX was downsampled to 8000khz only on the 80 min release.

There are occasional sync issues. There is no way to fix that.

SweetFX + profile by brad86. To turn off the CRT effect look for SweetFX_settings.txt and find the line "#define CRTAmount 1.00" and set the value to "0.00" and save if you want clearer graphics without scannlines. Also install this all to the root of NullDC.

Don't forget PC too!

Filled out the survey, lets hope we have some impact!

Hey man, nice seeing you here. We all had a great time chatting on there. I will admit I am not as active here as I should be or used to be, I got a project going on right now making a Korean War mod for Battlefield 2.

Mr357 did an awesome job on the Shenmue 2 movie, was really great reliving all those scenes again but with a group of like minded fans.

I know I am preaching to the choir here, but for those that don't know like the guy above I suggest people take the time to check this video out. It is the definitive video that explains ALL the differences and nuances of the Xbox and original Dreamcast and what makes each so different.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HNOSQqoUcg

This shows the pros and cons of the Xbox version. I do hope we can combine some of the pros from the Xbox port on the PC version of the pack via mods.

Since it is so long, if you only want to see the differences betwixt Dreamcast and Xbox, skip to about 14:50 in the video.

I think its best I don't talk about 4:3 vs 16:9. All I will say is that for technical reasons parts of the game are currently limited to 4:3. If you play the game in an emulator with a widescreen hack you will see some of the issues.

We've ported the xbox version of Shenmue II so yes it does have stencil shadows.

Hello, just wanted too ask you to clarify something. When you say widescreen hacks, are you referring to the option in like NullDC to turn on extra geometry, or referring to a true widescreen hack like found in this thread? We have pretty much solved making the games widescreen on Sega Dreamcast and fixed the issue with the geometry clipping where it renders things off screen differently.

I think this is a good example of what I think you are talking about. The issue where the guys animation froze on the left side of the screen you can see his foot just out of the area where the 4:3 window would be.

With the full source code I would think that could maybe be remedied in some way? Perhaps I am wrong though.

Hey guys, I was asked to post these animated VMU characters here by Ziming.
