Just seen this on ebay -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEGA-Dreamcast-Shenmue-Prototype-Early-US-version-with-full-DEBUG-menus-/262050942421?hash=item3d03740dd5

Anyone even know this existed? I really wanna try it out...hopefully if someone wins it from here, they could upload the image files for us all to try :)?

Wow, what I would do for those, but that is going to sell for insane amounts of money.

Actively bidding on this. If I win, I can rip them.

How many thousands do you think this auction will end up at? In any case, I hope you're loaded :)

We will see. I already own betas but I want to see which build this is.

However, I am like 90% sure this is the same build that Shendream released. Which is the same build I use to make my Explore Mods.

Awesome dude, best of luck. I kind of wanted to bid on it myself, but I know it'll go for alot and I don't have that kind of exposible funds at the moment, so I wanted a fan from the site to win it so it goes into the community rather than locked away for life on someone shelf.

Incidentally, anything different on the beta's you already got?

"Version: 0.1" is written on it. If that's true, then maybe it's not the same as the "0.4" one available. Imagine if this has the bike! Would be ideal to be landed on hands that can dump its contents and share/upload them, especially for modding purposes.

Oh crap you're right, and omg that would be amazing, Yu did imply the bike was actually in the game at one point(how functional it was though, is anyone's guess).

If this has the bike, then someone give me a dump of it and I will take it from there.

Well now I know I will lose. Can't beat David when it comes to collecting. I'm opting out.

Guess I will just caress my 0.4 betas.

Yeah i'll be happy as long as whoever gets this epic piece will be able to share it so we can all have some fun with it before Shenmue 3 :), it'd be such a shame for it to go to someone with the intention of just having it for themselves, with people like shengoro, if there is a bicylce still in the game, could probably mod the definitive Shenmue 1, Japanese dub, english subs, with bike and coca cola machines :D

any chance that this is fake?
maybe just the common beta burned on official GD ROMS, but labeled something different?

i suppose there is no way of finding out beforehand. maybe the seller could take a screen shot of something really interesting we haven't seen before.

it would be in his interest to do so, since the price he'd get would jump hugely.
