BioDojo

I prefer Shenhaze myself.

Funny to think, Shenmue right now is more alive than Bio...

Unlocked topic. It will be fun to theorize again seeing as we'll actually be playing the product in the near future. Feel free to discuss or add more resources.

I dunno if I really care anymore. Shenmue was a series that never reached the mainstream. This is a youtube video for the mainstream, and they can think what they want - the fan base is big enough that the game will be made and we'll be happy with it.

The haters will move on to something else, and this will all be forgotten.

I'm so incredibly happy that he hasn't decided to end the series with Shenmue 3. Even if Shenmue 3 does horribly (which I doubt) and we're left on another cliffhanger, that's still preferable to me than a rushed product just so I "know what happens". I don't play Shenmue merely because i'm curious about the story. I play Shenmue because its story is presented brilliantly and I want nothing to compromise that in further games.

Shenmue 3 could not have been announced at a worse time for me seeing how I just built a $1500 gaming PC back in May, I have 4 cavities that need to be filled, I need new glasses soon, and I have a $200 tech certification exam to pay for next week. However in order to fund the $550 dollar pledge I've already made and the additional $500 to $1000 I will drop on this KS before it ends, I have had to result to doing something I told myself I'd only do in case of an emergency; sell part of my video game collection off.

In order to cover my current pledge I don't have to sell off too much, mostly just a few CIB consoles I have and I complete Steel Battalion on XBOX. However to get an additional $500 I am going to have to start selling games off and sadly the first to go will be NES and SNES games because of how valuable a lot of them are. It pains me to do this, but it will pain me more if I let the KS go by without doing all that I can to help the project become Yu Suzuki's ultimate vision of what he wants Shenmue 3 to be.

So what sacrifices have you made or will you make in order to help fund Shenmue and get it to it's $10,000,000 goal?

Crying.... yep. Just like i was when Shenmue 3 was announced.

I'M GOING TO MEET YU SUZUKI IN MONACO!! FUCK!!

Is there Shenmue 2 for Sega Dreamcast with English Dub Mod as .gdi file (112min version)?

So, I will have better sound quality.

I'm running on DreamShell with SD Reader.

UPDATE: I found it! This is just .cdi files. But, it's a full 1GB Version just like Original released. I'll post a link right here.
https://mega.nz/#!HNETzDgQ!E_hoqpOIUNNXEW5z6f5Wb6z7g0ANcDEzwFBVKRNu7HQ

Keep that in mind. It will not fit in Normal CD-R or 99min CD-R. This is for anyone who wants to play it on Dreamcast Emulator, DreamShell, GDEMU, or burn it to GD-R (very rare to find).

IM BACK IN ACTION.

The mod continues.

This is the error I get when I click 'Run Dreamcast'

It's probably something stupid but I can't find any reference for this error online. Have you guys seen this before?


you need the BIOS and you need it in your ROMS folder, unfortunately I cannot provide information where to obtain it.

I have made a video however in regards to my settings.

Hint: to minimise the sound-distortion bug that happens every now and then, it is recommended to uncheck v-sync in video config settings.

Note: Please don't ask me to provide any SEGA copyrighted files required to run the emulator, Google is your friend.

Please test the emulator and kindly provide your feedback of any bugs/performance issues you may find, especially with Shenmue and Shenmue II. It'd be really helpful if you could also provide a save file at the spot where the bug/glitch happens alongside your bug report.

Check Youtube. It's possible.

I seem to remember that previous attempts at model-swapping Lan Di into the "playable" segments caused the game to crash. However this is goin back a while and may not be an issue with nullDC, Demul, etc.

There is a mod that swaps Baihu for Lan Di in Shenmue II. Not sure if it's available for the DC version, but you can defo get it for the Xbox one. And by that I mean the Xbox version. Not the Xbox One.

https://youtu.be/WgdjRGcABlU

Freely walking around in the beautiful nature of Guilin, this time with working doors and a hacked submap (store).
I also did some swapping so I can freely walk around the Cloud Bird Trail, wich is normaly on rails with Shenhua only.

I was a pain to get to the actual path as Ryo was put miles away from it in the void. Traveled there with increased emulation speed on nullDC with clipping turned off and saved. Then transfered the save to one of my VMUs and fired up a different image on the Dreamcast with clipping intact on the swapped map. It causes some nasty glitches on the video output, probably because the DC is running out of memory when having a freely controllable camera in this area. But since it was so much trouble to get there I decided to show it out no matter what.

A quick mod I put together to test manual character swapping in Shenmue 2 on the Dreamcast.

https://youtu.be/OM5TheH9zFk

What's involved?
1. Hex edits to the HUMANS package to swap Joy with Lan Di.
2. SweetFX hacks to add scanlines and some other graphics boosts.

All of the audio including the cutscene audio is post processed.

Like I said, it is a quick mod. I just thought it was funny :P

That is a damn good deal. Sadly I am not familiar with Tokyo or else I'd spill the beans.

I tried this version and indeed it corrected shenmue 2 graphical glitches with its Zbuffer fix (I have an ATI GPU so I could see these improvements in particular in GD3 and GD4). Demul seems to provide a better widescreen support for shenmue II. I hope they'll release source code for these new builds in order to allow motivated developpers to give their help (unfortunately I'm not a developper). I really hope they'll reactivate texture scaling in their next release (I'm a bit impatient I know that xD).
I'd love to see shenmue II running in 1080P x3 without glitches. I could read (in their git) they deactivated texture scaling for precision. althought a X3 scaling shader made by them could do the job as well because they wouldn't have to reactivate it in their GPU plugin (I think). Or they could even add their new fixes in their old GPU plugin to make an alternate GPU plugin.

I still remember when both Snoopbob and Bren first messaged me on MSN as young teenagers all excited about Shenmue. It's very cool to see this now and remembering how you guys were back then.

It was such a strange feeling to be somewhere that we once discussed visiting when we were kids/ young teenagers. I'll be able to upload some more pics when I get back home.

Total awesome place to visit, we are now part the small group of dedicated fans that went out our way to travel there.

When the Shenmue saga is finally finished it would be so amazing to go on a tour of all the locations. Dobuita to Hong Kong to Guilin and beyond.

Well, Shenmue 3 is an Indy game.

If only Ryo was as giving as Lan Di. All that fucker cares about is revenge.

At first I was angry but then I figured it out and it's totally a-okay... Lan Di is a kickstarter backer! xD eff yeah!

Although the bicycle riding functionality was disabled in What's Shenmue before its release, it turns out that the animation data for Ryo has been left on the disk, tucked away inside the motion.bin file.

So as the next video following my investigation for the "Ryo jumping" mod, here are the unused animations for Ryo's interactions... minus the bicycle.

https://youtu.be/6lHtA6WllCs

Edit 2016/10/08: added the bicycle animations contained in the PLYBCYL.MOT file on the Shenmue II disks to the top post.

Thanks for spoiling the upcoming Indiana Jones.

Lol I was just going to say that, I would love a Indiana Jones based on the Shenmue backstory. It would be very fitting for a true Indiana Jones movie, unlike the molestation, that is Kingdom of the Crystal Skull(there are quite a few legit myths surrounding such, all Lucas had to do, was base a movie around one of them, but instead he made that BS from scratch)

Awesome. Thank you for making the recording and sharing!

Wow! This sounds amazing! I love the sound of the Urhu and at .53 seconds when everything kicks back in. Sounds so mystical and then powerful!

So great of you to record it, I hope you had an incredible time!

Thank you for sharing! I'm very curious as to what else they played. From the photo you included, I can see Daytona USA, NiGHTS Into Dreams, and Space Channel 5.

Is this decensorship mod still in the works?

I'd love to use this mod and play the game the way it was originally intended.

I wonder if its standard for gdrom's to have bad sectors.
I tried to burn the 99min Disk 1 CDI with Alcohol 120% and ImageBurn, have wasted 3x 100min disks already
and the Nero CD/DVD Speed tool always shows me defect sectors with the surface scan on the same place on all three disks :/

edit:ok..that seems to be normal...I have that red stripe of defect sectors on every disk cd1,2,3...its of equal size everytime ^^

edit 2: Successful Burning

But I had to test 3-4 cd-burners I had at home until i found one that worked in terms of producing easily readable disks for the dc.

I didn't tests the disk with longer gaming times or so, so I can't really tell how reliable this disks are in the dc.

I burned with a Samsung SH-S223F, 16x, ImgBurn

Awesome! I hope you enjoyed the concert and thanks for recording it so fans get to hear it.

Great job Snoop!!! Always good to hear Shenmue live!

So lucky to get to see this being played live!

Many thanks for sharing it, snoopbob!

Thanks for bringing this to us! It's great to see a Japanese orchestra perform this.

Like all the performances I heard so far, it didn't fully match the original. At the rising part between 2:06 and 2:19 they skipped a step and they might've given the erhu a little too much free room towards the end. I hate to nitpick about these things but my ears are so tuned towards the original that I spot these things so easily. After all the original is... well the original and what we "grew up" with.

Still thumbs up for this!

A very interesting arrangement of the main theme, thanks for recording it!

Couple little things about it are off, but there are a few areas where I think the changes improved the song. I really wouldn't mind hearing a more refined version of this arrangement for say, a Shenmue III trailer in the future.

I will be attending TGS 2016 tomorrow and will be looking for anything shenmue related. Will keep you updated if I see anything interesting

Hope you have fun, snoop! Please can you check your private messages if you get a moment? Thanks! :)

Is this week when Tokio's dinner with Yu is helding?

Yep! Looks like Peter made it there okay \:D/
