When I bought my copy from GameMusic.com, the sound track came with a filmstrip containing several frames of a cutscene (I believe it is from the game explanation cutscene featuring Xiu Ying). A similar filmstrip may or may not come with every legitimate copy, but you may want to ask the seller anyw...

Fantastic. I think you've captured the spirit of the song quite well, while gently infusing an upbeat edge to it.

You might want to consider raising the relative volume of the high string chord just a bit; I think it gets lost in the rhythm. That's just my opinion, though.

The admins changed the current website address, so you can't navigate through the old GameSpy site very well.

I have the Timex watch with the black face, but it has some water damage. Is there any identifying information on it so I could list a model number or something?

I'd love to recreate that cherry tree for my small town.

LanDC ripped virtually every track from Shenmue I, and they were downloadable from the Dojo a while back. However, it seems there were issues with FilePlanet (the site hosting the files), and everything was transferred to YouTube. Ziming mentioned a possibility of the tracks being re-hosted in the f...

Hey, I can get the Space Harrier capsule toy without cheating this time. Too bad they don't have a Darts capsule toy; that's my favorite.

If you really want to load your S1 data, there's a program called Dream Explorer you can use to modify the region of your save. It's quite simple to do, and should only take a few minutes. You won't need any special equipment to run the program, either. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll exp...

Wow, this gets a mention on the front page? Impressive.

By the way, the user on GameFAQs that originally posted this information, Saikobooru, has said that he intends to put up a scan of the magazine article in the next few days. So I'll watch out for that, and post a link or something later.

The person who made the original thread on GameFAQs posted the original magazine text and a translation of it: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=198621&topic=43067895 In Swedish: "Shenmue är tillbaka!" "Sega har den senaste tiden återlanserat klassiker som Nigh...

On one of the gaming boards I frequent, a poster said that in a Sweedish magazing called GameReactor, there's a rumor that Shenmue I and II may be ported to the Wii, with additional minigames designed to take advantage of the Wii Remote. With recent enhanced ports like RE4 and Okami that are updated...

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the correct addresses for notebook entries. It's a fairly slow process, since there's no in-game memory viewer. Hacking the Shenmue II save file is impossible for me right now, because I cannot figure out how to modify the checksum correctly. I also just re...

I don't want to cause trouble by reviving an ancient topic, but does anyone here know anything about the checksum for Shenmue II? That's really the only obstacle preventing me from hacking the game further.

Yes, that looks like the cover designed by David Mackenzie (Lyris). I've been looking for just the right paper to use, so I haven't printed it out myself. It's very high quality and professional.

Unfortunately, that means you've got a bootleg there, Shenmue4Life. But at least it has a nice cover.
