Christopher Reeves' mother, Barbara Johnson, works with me in Princeton, Christopher was born here!

She said the same thing. I showed her this post.

Here it is.

Included:

- Shenmue Zero
- Shenmue: The Boat
- Ryo's Room

If Shenmue: The Boat comes up with an error, you need the RPG Maker RTP. Just google the problem word for word and you'll find a result that should rectify the problem, as it's a pretty common one in the community.

Downloaded!
Thanks Dave.

I met Leslie Wilkerson at Otakon back in '08 and I didn't realize this either.
I remember she had said something in Xiuyuings voice, and I asked her why they didnt cast her as Xuying. Boy was I dumbfounded.

Congrats!
Wude is a person of many many talents!
I'm happy to see you promoted dude!!

nice video.
DC2 would have been awesome.

My solution, if any of us are terminally ill, we ask SEGA through make a wish


A friend of mine who passed away from cancer at 18 back in '08 (he also got the make a wish foundation) wrote in his journal that he wanted to see the finale to Shenmue's storyline. It still bothers me till this day that he never got to be a part of what this community became.

Cant wait to Play MG Rising

Just looking to see if anyone is attending PAX East in March.

I will be there to try out the new Playstation 4 games as well as meeting with some game companies for networking.
Hope to see any of you there!

I posted a thread containing a link.

Enjoy and please lock this.

Hi,

I got a request for Kakuzawa's S2X Undub.

I uploaded it to my Mega account.

Shenmue 2X Japanese Un-dub.7z (695.4 MB)
https://mega.co.nz/#!iBZHGKaS!HVIvLwaJF ... C1BnApTYic


unzip with 7zip.


Thank you Kakuzawa for this great release!

James

HI, has anyone used these codes?

Please let me know if you guys dont want them. If so, I'll release them to Facebook.
Or please post if you used them.

I have a new wave coming soon.

I got Metal Gear Rising and Ni No Kuni for PS3.

Hey guys,

I went to PAX East this year.
Unfortunately, there was no Shenmue 3 or any Yu Suzuki love at PAX, but it was still pretty cool.

I met the Bioware team behind Mass Effect and got to speak to the writer Jon Dumbrow and the lead level designer Dusty Everman.

I stood up at their panel and asked some questions but as of right now, there is no Youtube video of it.
You damn right I asked them about the indoctrination theory.

Was anyone else there?

I met some famous people: including Tim Schafer (creator of Psychonauts and Brutal Legends), Peter Dorr (Petes Game Room on Youtube).

I got to hang out with Mega64.

There was also a Bethesda Food Truck promoting Elder Scrolls Online. They gave out free food, drinks, and pictures.

It was an amazing experience!

Hey guys,

I got asked by a couple of people to show off my hacked PS3.

Thought some people here may enjoy it.

If you guys have any questions, feel free to PM me.

This was an idea that was brought to my attention and now that I am done with school, I figure that I should work on it.

I will hand the project off if needed.

This mod is based on ideas given to me from various members here.

Hi all,

I have been updating the status of this project at the Shenmue500k group on Facebook.

Dont worry, I am still actively working on the project.

The problem I am having is that when replacing the motorcycle with the bike, the game locks up. I found this out to be the fact that the mem address that the motorcycle uses for referencing is within protected memory so when it changes a mismatch occurs and throws a kernel panic. Im trying to work around this.

I got in touch with LanDC and I now have a ton of information about his mods and such. This can be closed if needed.

Im very hopeful.

Every day I do something related to Shenmue.

I paid off my PS4 and bought Watchdogs + Killzone for it.

Fantastic video! I always wanted Ryo to confess to Nozomi.

Giorgio wrote: Nice! I just posted it to the Shenmue500K FB group ("Ryo except from a schoolboy, he is also a loverboy.") and some believed it was real!

Haha I remember that!

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you all know that I am still working on this project. I am also trying to get my career together so it has been a while.

@Master Kyodai, I am looking into the 1st_read file over the next two weeks to get some sort of PoC together.

Hi all,

Just wanted to update you all and say that I might have the mod in an alpha state by Xmas Eve.

So far, Ryo is spawnning onto the bike instead of Nayouki's motorcycle.

For now, I have not been successful in implementing the above mentioned method to get the bike unlocked for normal gameplay.

I am working within the very little time I have so its taking forever.

It will be released here first in the form of a hacked iso and special save file.

I am aiming to make it work in both NullDC and official hardware.

Once I have it completely stable, I will upload a video to my youtube channel.

james

Really glad to hear the project is not forgotten!

When you're at it then try to also take a short peek into the mapinfo. All scripts for the "room" are in there. Possibly fairly easy to make Ryo mount a motorcycle if you steal from the "Save Nozomi" scene? But yeah just guesswork here. Good luck from all of us =)

Yeah the save Nozomi scene was the original target for the bike ride since a lot of the motion data gets called automatically. It saves time and allows for some easier work arounds.

Quick question, are you trying to enable a sort of work around to ride the bicycle around all areas or only on the road to Amihama?

The original bike mod was tailored to use the Road to Amihama. I got a hold of LanDC and another member who wishes to remain unknown, and got the tools needed to get a method to swap the motor cycle with the bicycle.

This was the breakdown:
Create save file at Road to Amihama scene
Hacked RAM (via Action Replay) to glitch the timer to make it infinity
Live hotswap Bike model variable with Cycle variable to chain load motion data

I actually got most of the mod to work but one little issue occurred.

The Dreamcast's RAM and processor can go into protected mode. Shenmue stores the bike model in protected RAM so you need to half crash the ALU to calculate in system/non-protected mode. To do this, you need to boot DC Linux, probe the mainboard, and chain load the OS from the Shenmue disc into RAM with the hotswap. My method here actually worked but my Dreamcast shorted out when the bike loaded.

I managed to swap the motor cycle with Wang's bike from Ajiichi and get a hybrid motion data chained into it. Ryop akwardly road the bike before my DC gave the magic black smoke of death.

Unfortunately, my DC died before I could get some footage.

The NEW method is now underway and is 100% software based.

Two members brought this idea to me before I posted here.

In the Japanese 1st Read binary there is a string/block of hex that will allow for a debug menu to show. It is HIGHLY rumored that it may allow for spawning of objects/physics, potentially including the bike.

So to answer your question, the old method was for Road to Amihama, the new method is for actually getting the Bike in the game as shown in the What's Shenmue video demo.

I'm HUGE on The Pillows

Thank you for this!

I cant wait to play it when I'm off of work!

/james

No problem!

I also shared it out to the Shenmue Facebook Group so you get some extra notice.

Hi All,

I have been working on a Shenmue 3 discussion series for my Youtube channel.

Part 1 is up and is here:


Please let me know what you guys think and what you may want to see discussed.

Thanks,

I love collecting video games

EDIT:

**Requires PAL Shenmue 2X

HERE IT IS!

Hey guys,

I modded Shenmue 2 to give us the ability to fight Lan Di in Baihu's scene.

I used Kakuzawa's swapper tool to make this mod, so big thanks to Kakuzawa!

Here are some snapshots:

I will be making a video of it soon.

What's left:

-Explore ShadowData for npc char models
-Finish AFS packaging for replacing Baihu's voice

Thanks!

James

I am using Baihu's style since it is closest to Lan Di's

I am uploading footage right now.

Just takes a little while.

/james



EDIT:

VIDEO!!

Woah, nice theory. I didn't even consider this possibility.

Hmm, I wonder if we might have missed something.

I could have SWORN there was a model of a sword with no handguard in the shenmue 2 disc 4 JNTSC edition.

I'll ask LanDC.

New Update!

Still working on this.

What would you guys like to see?:

Hi guys,

I compiled this version of the beta, Disc 1

Thanks to Wude! We now have the following maps playable:

Wish Road
D0000

Beta Sakuragaoka
JD00

Set Scene to 01
Set Entry to 02 for wish road, 00, 01, 02 for beta sakuragaoka.

Mega Link = https://mega.co.nz/#!2dVgVJIA!962SwumA5aGyNEgg7Xu5gbODvltKGBNbmKKxFjpGd0E

Please let me know if u have issues.

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/shengoro86/2014-03-2223_48_38-ProgramManager_zpse451fb2e.jpg

We are all here for you.

I hope all goes well.

From a code standpoint, I do not think anyone has a real answer to that.

Personally, I have won the boombox and Saturn games at least three times, respectively.

I'd like to say that winning the boombox is like 200/1.

Any higher would seem ridiculous.

Thanks Fenix.

This mod is 100% credited to Wude.

I only compiled the iso with the map files.

I'm looking nto Beta Yamanose.

As for the road, yeah I saw that it ends early in the beta. Maybe this is due to a code change between it and the final release?

Thanks to all who invented these methods to get these kind of mods working!

UPDATE: THIS RELEASE IS NOW OUTDATEDD. PLEASE USE MY EXPLORATION MOD RELEASE!
http://www.shenmuedojo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=47225







Hi all,

I know I have been releasing a couple of these cdi files.

The last one with all of the beta maps was emu only since it was too big for a 99 min CD-R.

Well here is my answer to that. \:D/

This release is a version of the Shenmue Beta from Shendream with the beta maps now playable.

Credit to this mod goes to Wude, he did all of the hex editing. I am merely releasing this out to the public.


What does this include?
- The following maps are playable:
--Beta Yamanose
--Beta Sakuragaoka
--Wish Road

What can this be played on?
-Confirmed on
--Dreamcast Hardware (CD-R NTSC)
--DEMUL (Windows)
--NullDC (Windows)
--Reicast (HTC One Android 4.4.2 Rooted)

How can I play?
-Hardware
--Burn cdi as RAW DAO (burn confirmed with Alcohol 120%)

How do I load the Beta Maps?
-From Debug Menu
--Beta Yamanose
Continue NO/OFF
Scene 01
Area JU00
Entry 00

--Beta Sakuragaoka

Scene 01
Area JD00
Entry 01

--Wish Road

Note: Run towards Mountains to get to the road

Note about beta maps
These were made playable by fusing these maps with their retail counterparts. Fusing map data to make it walkable.

These replace the maps, making the game unplayable. This is more for the purpose of seeing the beta maps yourself.


Enjoy Everyone! \:D/
