Actually I'm inclined to think this might actually be doable. Given how many years ago we're talking, any amount of voicing in a game was pretty impressive so another sacrifice in audio quality and a few loading screens here and there wouldn't be that much of a deal breaker. so: Take 7 minutes of au...

Barring the voicing, Majora's Mask has pretty much all of the other bases covered. You've got days and time, weather, a pretty open world (you can access most of Termina almost right from the start), events that only happen at specific times and places, people with individual schedules who travel ar...

Wow! That is in fact it. I wonder if that's a totally different mix of that theme or if it's just some really bad DSP? I would never have recognized that as being the music that plays inside that store.

It's definitely not the tomato music. It sounds like tipical marry-go-round music. It's kinda odd for winter but that's what it sounds like. I can't say I know what tipical Christmas music in Japan is supposed to sound like but maybe that's what it was (I think I remember hearing it mostly on disks ...

@Johnvivant thank you very much. If he stops when he hits a wall that's a huge help. If he can't strafe (sidestep without changing direction) that's quite an unfortunate obstacle. Is there a way to reliably turn 90 degrees? Is there in fact a marry-go-round somewhere in Dobuita? There's definitely s...

Hi, There's no text to speech utility that works in games, because games render text as images, not using your system's native character set. The only thing that might work is to try and find the currently rendered text in the game's ram space, which is probably doable if I had a couple of points at...

@MR357 Thanks very much for the nice and detailed post. Do you know if there's such a thing as a one touch command to reset your angle to north? I'm thinking of Star Ocean: till the End of Time in which sometimes a cutscene would conclude with you facing some random direction, but you could press (I...

Hello. I’ve been lurking around the dojo for a while and figured I’d finally chime in. My name is Jordan and while I’ve known about Shenmue for almost ten years I never really got in to it until just recently. Please forgive me; this is going to be a very long and unusual post, however I am willing ...
