Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2016 3:45 pmHello.
I am proud to announce that the Shenmue Exploration Mod has hit version 1.4!

-Sub-PKS Colli datas now being hacked for free roam.
-Harbor Cafe now hacked for free roam
-Alpha Trading Office now hacked for free roam

What is it?
This is a mod of Shendream's BETA release of Shenmue 1 Disc 3.
This mod allows you to walk around most areas without clipping. This allows you to walk through walls and most objects.
It also contains playable maps for Dobuita in Whats Shenmue, Beta Yamanose, Beta Sakuragaoka, and Wish Road!
Why?
I made this for my own purpose but I wanted to share it with everyone. I always wanted to go wherever I wanted to when inside of shops and stuff.
How?
Each mapinfo.bin has been hacked to remove all clipping data.
Sub-sectors of PKS IPAC data have now begun being hacked.
Notebook hacked to show basic version number and instructions
Who?
The original clipping method was developed by Giorgio.
The ECAM warp zone removals were developed by Me.
The IPAC clipping hack was developed by Bluemue.
The beta maps were hacked by Wude.
The Beta itself was released by Shendream.
The What's Shenmue to BETA map conversion was done by me.
The grunt work was done by me
Which areas can I free roam?
I am aiming to have every single area free roamable. However some areas need special tricks to get working.
Here is the list:
How do I use it?
Just like in the original beta release, you can call these specific maps up with the main debug menu.
For the shops that are closed when you go into them with the menu, just use the 4th player controller debug menu to set the time in the game to a time where the shop is open!
NOTE from above: Alpha Trading Office and Harbor Cafe are both a part of the MFSY sub IPAC sector data. You can not warp into these two places using the debug menu. You need to go to the harbor and walk through their doors.
Are there bugs?
Yes! Like all arcane Shenmue hacks, bugs will exist.
-What's Shenmue Dobuita has a soda machine that is fused with the retail soda machine. (This is easily fixed)
-Ryo's House is completely broken and invisible.
-Random textures disappear and pop in when you are walking through walls. (This is normal and cannot be fixed.)
NOTE: You cannot play through this as normal!!!!!! It is disc 3 AND the maps are hacked to the point where the normal game will not flow and cutscenes may not trigger. It is for exploring only!
What can I play it on?
Confirmed working on NullDC, DEmul, Reicast, Chankast, and actual DC hardware via CD-R or GDEMU.
WARNING: NOT COMPLETELY STABLE ON ACTUAL HARDWARE. KNOWN FREEZING ISSUES IN BETA SAKURAGAOKA WHEN TOUCHING POTENTIAL LOADING ZONES

So whats next?
I am now working to make a final version of this hack.
Things to finish:
-BETA Dobuita free roam.
-Shenmue Passport Maps converted to walkable freeroam maps. (I've almost struck gold on this hack)
-Fixing Ryo's house as it keeps breaking when removing Pre ECAM data
-Vertical clipping so stairs are walkable
-Main menu credits
How do I download it?
Send me a pm and I'll share it with you.
