I don't think so. The only sample version of Shenmue I've seen is for the first game that you posted above.

My best guess is Chinese ripoff strategy guide.

I have a limited edition (Shenmue I) sealed aswell and there is no spinecard. However, my seal is different from yours and i bought it in Japan (Mandarake) so not sure if yours is fake or if different seals exist.

Be careful tho. The Limited edition of Shenmue NTSC-J with the jukebox has no spinecard. I have seen so many copies, there is no mistake.

However, the simple edition NTSC-J comes with a spinecard.

My original LE of Shenmue I bought in Japan is definetly not a fake one and still had no spinecard. Even the import store in my city confirmed that no spinecard came with the limited edition (or it's inside the box, but i doubt it).

Simple edition :

Limited edition (looks like mine) :

http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f133146132

As you can see, no spinecard.

I tried it on my note 4. I think it was made with tablets in mind since even with the note 4's 5.7 inch screen I still find myself squinting to see what is written. The controls are ok as far as smartphone controls go but it does have controller support.

Bringing this slightly aged topic back up out of interest as there are actually quite a bunch of version for the Xbox.

First of all, the versions in question are both German. They've decided to give a later print run a revised USK logo as well as the addition of an FSK logo for the inculded movie.

Now as far as I can put things together there seem to be at least 10 different version (counting the second German version) of the game over the globe wich I currently own 7 off. They all have the catalog numer Z10 followed by 0000X with the X indicating wich language / market it was made for. I don't have the French ans Spanish version yet but I know their numbers so I'll make a list.

1 - US NTSC
2 - ???
3 - France
4 - Spain
5 - Italy
6 - Germany
7 - Scandinavia
8 - Australia
9 - UK

I really don't know what contry version 2 is. I could've been reserved for Japan despite the game was never really ment to get released there. Other then that it could be for Canada or South America, Netherlands, Easter Europe... who knows.

I now have the French and Spanish versions of the game and thus I can present you photos of the entire package. :D
Yeah, no Z10-00002. There's just no information about it to find anywhere. Let's say that it doesn't exist for now.

No problem! You only need batteries if you want to do something with the VMU on the go, or when you're sick of the beeping sound, every time you turn on the Dreamcast. Unfortunately they don't last very long, even when they're in standby. And afair they don't automatically go into that state if you power down the Dreamcast and you have them inserted into the controller.

Btw: I wonder why they didn't make a true VMU mini game for Shenmue. I remember that the previews in magazines claimed there would be one but they only thing we got are those useless animations from the passport disc. I don't even remember ever looking at these on the VMU outside of the controller. Might have to try that out and see how it actually works at some point.

Of course it does. They always get power through the controller when you have the console turned on.

hmm. I never have seen one for Shenmue 2. I did some googling and found nothing.

While Shenmue I sample version is just a regular "sticker" that you could make yourself i guess, Shenmue II sample cover is a bit different (no sticker is what i mean).

I cannot give details as i do not have any, but i do have it :

http://s30.postimg.org/csvjxg1z5/DSC01155.jpg

I might be wrong but after doing some search, the only picture i've found on the net was mine. Other Shenmue hardcore collectors may have it, but until they decide to post their picture, the only picture i have is mine.

I've had some luck to get mine. A shop owner sold me his brand new sealed Shenmue II Demo Disc and gave me the Shenmue II Sample Cover as a gift. So my guess is that this cover probably came with the Shenmue II Demo Disc at some point and was a cover used by japanese shops during Shenmue II release.

I am not stopping my Shenmue collection

Difficult to find Lan Di poster :



More to come soon (whenever i get my packages).

Okay so I've seen puri_puri put the map glitch to good use on the staircases in his speedruns and I had to mess around with this myself. I tried this in the Ghost Hall Building and it's really usefull there. I was even able to break into Yuanda Zhu's room with this!

This works on pretty much all of the staircases and lots of fun and exploration can be had with this.
I've tried this in various spots and I did manage to get to the other side of the locked doors that are used by Ryo and Ren during the handcuffs segment. But unfortunately Ryo will just go through it like regular and will be back on the hallway. Of course this is extremely usefull in the Yellow Head Building. Stay tuned for that one.

http://youtu.be/aQSH1DEnb6Y

Here I use the glitch to actually walk through doors and get into Huang's and Yuan's room.

@DL30: It's done and uploaded. You'll find it in the Room Raid topic.

@Chaikiller: I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Trying this out in Wan Chai is a great idea. Haven't thought to do it there actually, gonna do it now and see if there's anything interesting.

Believe it or not, there is actually more to explore of the Yellow Head Building!

http://youtu.be/jvyJPWmcSfA

The incredible power of the Map Glitch not only allows you to skip through pretty much everything you have to do in order to get up to Dou Niu, it also allows you to go beyond the 18th floor. The insanity of Shenmue detail overkill shines here as everything from floor 19 to 39 actually exists and can be explored. It does eventually run out of rooms on the 23rd floor but it's still baffling to no end, that they actually put nearly 100 rooms there that nobody was ever intended to get to...

Here is Shenmue's VMU game in action!

http://youtu.be/FJYjA_rQkTk

No one seems to have ever captured footage of it and rarely does it get mentioned.
It's more of an "app" then a game where you can watch little animations of pretty much all the characters in the game. It comes with Ryo, Shenhua, Ren and Niao Sun and if you want more you'll have to trade in Winning Cans, one for each animation.

If you want to try this out yourself I recommend you grab the Dream Explorer/VMU Tool as it has all the animations on the disc. Saves you the hassle of messing with a dial-up connection to get access to the Shenmue Goodies on the Passport Disc and about 200 Winning Cans.

New updates.

Actually I'm trying to find how to open VOB files to put the forklift into the game. Or I'll maybe go to a simple motorcycle swap.
But anyway, I've swapped all Ryo's versions lol. I'm re-playing the game to be sure there are no crashes and all models are placed correctly.

Some pictures:

Ryo chibi (field and worldmap model), motorcycle model and the wheelchair when Cloud falls into the lifestream. The last one is a joke :mrgreen:
Notice the crest of his katana :D

I'm actually thinking about the next Ryo's convertion. I think that I can make a mod for the fan game Avalanche (FFVII fighting game).

Oh, and this mod can be shared. As I always say; I'm not interested to keep them for my exclusive use. So if anybody wants to give a try, just ask me.

Last point: I always repeat that this awesome katana's model is not made by me. It's from a modder called Millenia. Hazuki crest texture is picked from a wallpaper of Ricardo.

Done :lol: :lol: :lol:

After 3 shutdowns of the software to unify the model, I finally swapped the battle model. I don't know why but I lost the weapons textures. I'll find the problem.

PS: The bug you see on shoes is actually solved.


Next updates:

- Millenia's katana (the one I use for GTA San Andreas) instead of Buster sword.
- I'd like to rename "buster Sword" for "Hazuki's sword".
- New field and world chibi model.

Hey guys, I just wanted to share this picture.

I'd like to start a new game mod. Actually I'm donwloading all needed programs to extract a re-model characters.

Here's the preview pic :mrgreen:

I got one in a white case too,but am wondering if it's official.

yeah man, it's official ^^

no problemo!
Are there any stores by you that sell *New* (Swedish?) versions of the XBox Shenmue 2 you have displayed in your pic?

Hmm wouldn't think so, will look it up for ya though!

It took much longer then I initially thought and maybe also longer then necessary but here's my first mod video.
A silly but funny character swap with a bit of extra post production.

On the UK ebay, there is an alleged sealed Shenmue Pal, but its clearly been a reseal. In fact the person selling it hasnt worked out that he has put the game cases in the cardboard sleeve backwards before having it resealed lol

Mine sealed Shenmue 1 looks the same, it also has the cases inside backward. It also has the original sticker from the store on it. It is original.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/50264008/shenmuesealed.JPG

I doubt it, and looking at your Shenmue id be very worried and have it checked out because looking at the pictures, it looks like a reseal.

It' not easy to know.

I think that there are different conditions of brand new.

Look these.

http://i62.tinypic.com/nfjsqx.jpg

There is a method to buy a sure factory sealed copy.

To buy shenmue 1 in UK with the SEGA box or to buy shenmue 1 and 2 in italy with the logo SIAE.

Logo SIAE is a logo applied on the celophane by goverment, is a tax for the reseller.

You can't remove this logo from celophane so if there is this logo you are sure that it is original factory saled.

If you buy something in italy, games, music or movie, without this logo you can be sure that isn't original factory saled.

Now that i have the 1999 and 2000 calendar, i am close to complete my set. Hoping i'll get my hands on the american one somedays.

Another item is on the way. Pictures whenever i get it !

DL30 wrote:^Axm have you seen any *Sealed* (Dorikore)Shenmue 2's?

No but ive seen a fair bit of S2 NTSC-J LE's. Think ill pick up another of those next time.

Here is my first real Shenmue I mod.

http://youtu.be/sruPJmkLUhU

This kinda mod was the very first idea I had and I kept pushing it aside for other projects as it just didn't work. Shenmue really gave me the hardest time and always found a way to ruin my plans. Now I finally got something done. It's not entirely what I wanted but the outcome is still quite funny and well... really stupid.

And here's another video that I uploaded a few days ago.
It shows the extra cutscenes with Shozo Mizuki, when you fail to sneak into the old warehouse #8.

http://youtu.be/k76P_Wyh1XI

Have we seen the video on this VHS before? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sega-Dreamcast-Official-Promotional-Video-VHS-99-Shenmue-Biohazard-JP-12521-/151554299174?pt=FR_Jeux_Vid%C3%A9o_Jeux_de_marchandises&hash=item2349571526

What about this Shenmue II with the words "Sample" and "Loaned" on the discs? http://www.ebay.com/itm/271174829170?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Congratulations to BlueMue! He's our new Shenmue forum moderator.

Thanks Ziming and also Yama of course. It's a great honor to become a moderator and part of the Dojo team!
Now let's fight those spam-bots!

Here are my 2 new items !

First, i am starting with this official sticker (saw it for the first time and didn't want to let it go) :

http://s11.postimg.org/44ok0z8rn/DSC_0104_2.jpg

http://s11.postimg.org/vzowbl4wz/DSC_0105.jpg

And finally, the item i've been looking for almost a decade, the officiel Shenmue Timex Watch (never used) :

http://s11.postimg.org/j9knyhwyr/DSC_0112.jpg

http://s11.postimg.org/m67oys2sj/DSC_0113.jpg

http://s11.postimg.org/98kf2x99f/DSC_0117.jpg

http://s11.postimg.org/xdl4kmtk3/DSC_0118.jpg

There's only a point that bothers me : no warranty card. I guess some watch had it included or some didn't in case the customer didn't want a warranty or something. I will eventually try to find it separately since it's a regular Timex warranty card.

I still can't believe i actually have it. I feel like i completed something important for my Shenmue collection.

Now i still need one mouse pad, one phone card, one mug and one poster to finish most of the tokyo game show sets but that watch was a pain to get my hands on.

If any Shenmue fans out there wish to help me out, i'm looking for Ryo's phone card, Niao Sun's mug, Shenhua's poster and Niao Sun's mouse pad. Eventually clear files for Ryo, Shenhua and Niao Sun too, but i'm not rushing that part.

I hope to share more with you whenever i get something new.

Until then !

^my main complaint with the definitive edition is that is has so much fog. Like seriously why did they think they needed to add a fuckton of fog to the game?

What they didn't show you...

Notes:
- The voices are NOT post-processing; they are played right from Shenmue's engine.
- The music tracks are NOT post-processing; they are played right from Shenmue's engine. [Had to spent 32 hours to figure out how to play Chai's theme on a different Area, because of lack of readily hex data...]
- Lan Di on the dream... Shenmue has many files duplicates; had to change the Shenhua's model editing some PKF/PKS files.
- Of course, the vending machines textures are custom; had to figure out how to do that, too.
- Of course, dialogs are custom and not post-processing (it's obvious).
- Had to find a cheat code for the NullDC Cheater for the Shenmue I Beta 0.400 on how to change the hour; had to repeat until to go to April...
- 13 days in the making, and many "tiny" mod challenges to overcome, with many guesses, error trials ...but never gave up! -
- ...and anything I can't remember right now...

Fun facts:
- It all started with a change in a mapinfo file, replacing CAN1 (or something) with HAND... then "idea"-*blow mind*-"flash".
- The process was 100% fun! - [" Energy and persistence conquer all things. " -- Benjamin Franklin]

As requested, here's my collection. There's a chance some goodies were not added to the video, but i might do another video in the future whenever i complete my sets.

It's a long video tho since i've added other stuffs too. But to make sure it doesn't get boring after a while, tracks from the OST have been added.

Enjoy !
