I present my working attempt to get rid of black bars in cutscenes in Shenmue II
For now, it is a [Work in Progress] test version that currently works only on Disc 1
There is standalone *.exe version and table for cheat engine version.
NullDC(I tested it on 4 different pc's and it worked for me, I do hope it will also work for you and won't crash ) :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wd6ziguijkw2l ... DC.CT?dl=0 - Cheat engine table
Demul:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xmssfgtk89x4u ... ul.CT?dl=0 - Cheat engine table
With standalone version just run emulator and SII_NoBars(_Demul or NullDC).exe file. and it will automatically find and attach itself to emulator process. IMPORTANT: for NullDC rename emulator's *.exe file to nullDC.exe
Another way requires Cheat Engine installed. open SII_Nobars(Demul or NullDC).CT,
open emulator process,press ctrl+alt+l then press Execute script... use whatever method you like.
Also as a BONUS you can Press 3 to switch between Widescreen/normal modes.
It's a wip version BUT! Since I don't have time to play through the whole game, I need people who would search for further addresses.
For example: one person would work on Disc 2, another on Disc 2 side quests, another on Disc 3, and another on Disc 4.
Let me know if you are interested. I'll make video tutorial how to do it the way I know how I do it
UPD: Video tutorial for how to find and add codes added
