Hi I bring you an hex fix to patch a Shenmue I 1ST_READ.BIN/ISO/GDI/CDI.

This hex hack will make Shenmue display in Widescreen aspect ratio without clipping or glitches unlike NullDC extra geometry option or previous action replay codes, it will basically render the extra geometry necessary for 16:9 TV's.

The hack works great on emulators, as do on a real Dreamcast.


SHENMUE, E MK-5105950, V1.00120001005

So with an hex editor find and replace the following values.

Following Esppiral's breakthrough, here's the same for other versions, just different for the 1st "render fix", which is actually the unlocker code that prevents the game from dynamically updating the ranges for clipping and draw distance:

To make it easier to patch your images, whether you're using a lite version (for 700MB CD-R) or the bulkier (untouched) GDRom rips, you can use the script that I uploaded here: https://mega.nz/#F!L4xAUTCB!dz3QkSV7WnkF8w8XGelfoA

Just unzip the file anywhere on your disk, then simply drag & drop each of your track06.bin files, from each of the 3 game discs, over the script named DRAG track06.bin HERE.bat . This will patch the EUR, USA or JAP images and also create a backup just in case.
