Shenmue 1 Undub Japanese Speech English Subs DC Findings

When I first looked at Shenmue 1 stream folder I was viewing ripped .cdi files so the structure is completely different due to the afs files being compressed. (afs compactor)

When .afs is compressed it shows as (file1, file2, file3 etc.)
Instead of a raw .afs file would show the actual file names.. i.e (0001.srf, 0001.str, 0002.str etc.)

This is why I thought the /stream (.afs etc.) file structure was different for Shenmue 1.

It is different in many ways to what is used in Shenmue 2!

A few differences are that there are no .ahx files used for speech like in Shenmue 2; instead the speech in Shenmue 1 uses .str files. Shenmue 2 .srf files do not hold subs, and the .idx files are different.

The .srf files are for the subtitles in Shenmue 1.

idxwrite will allow you to create a new .idx file depending on wether or not you extracted the original .afs files and have the .xml file for it.

If you try to make a custom .afs, then use idxwrite it will say the file is invalid!

For some reason you can create an .idx after you compress the .afs files, but this results in no speech in cinematics or free speech.. subs work though.

To selfboot Shenmue 1 this is what I found:

binhack ip.bin and 1st_read.bin to 11702 LBA.
Use custom sort order based on Shenmue Perfect rip. (remove dummy file .dat from data files and sort order)

Re: Shenmue 1 Undub CD01 for Dreamcast

Well, Smith used to optimize all his releases so there is no doubt that he will get the quality up to par with RDC/DCRes releases.

Not sure if making custom covers and artwork is his thing though.

Yes, I plan on making a 99min version and possibly a standard cd-r overburn version too.
The 99min versions will more than likely have nothing removed.

You are right Anthony817 I am not good at artwork.
I am very good at mspaint lol.

Not to sound like a narcissist... but,the quality should be up to par with RDC/DCRes.
The guys in RDC make some really great stuff.
If interested you really should check out some of the ReviveDC releases.

DCRes made alot of great stuff also.
If interested you really should check out some of the Dream Resurrection project releases too.
I don't know where TuxTheWise is nowadays??

Albeit a niche like shenmue-dojo..the dreamcast community is filled with great ppl.
I took a long break and it is good to be back now.
Now I need to stop drinking so much damn coffee!

Re: Shenmue 1 Undub 99min CD01 for Dreamcast

Update:

Ok, I almost lost it last night. :mad: While working on cd3 and remaking cd1-2. I thought the Full English Speech mod was way too much work! haha! This project is pure hell... the definition of insanity. :oops:

Example:
FREE QUEST JP - 20,000+ files each disk
FREE QUEST PAL - 9,000+ files each disk
Cinematics - almost 30 total incompatible archives from all disks cd1-3 (maybe 300+ more files)
Incompatible cinematics have to be modified to get them to work!
FREE AFS 1-3 has to be modified to get it to work. (the process is entirely borked!)

I have remade the undub selfboots of cd1-cd2 maybe 20 times now...
At first I was manually editing the cinematics...
I finally wrote a few batch scripts to handle some of the data.
I now have compiled scripts for the free quest data, and the cinematics.
Even with batch scripts there is still much work that you must do manually.
The AFSUTIL tool that is available to extract, and archive .afs helps... but, that is only a small part of the process.
I get so close to being finished with this undub project.
Then I find something new that I could improve and fix etc. ffs

Here is the current status of the project:

FREE Quest is complete for cd1-3.
Cinematics cd1-3 (30 archives, 300+ files to fix)
All other Cinematics cd1-3 are complete.
Coca Cola mod for each disk is complete.
Custom sort order for each disk is complete.
Binhack for cdda for each disk is complete.

The Shen FULL undub is 95% complete.

Re: Shenmue 1 Undub 99min CD01 for Dreamcast

Just wanted to say: you are THE MAN if you manage to put this together. Words cannot express the joy it would bring me to play through this great game again, finally reunited with its original audio track.

I created an account here just to say: RAH-RAH-RAH! Don't give up!

I'm going to be checking back here every day for updates :)

Thanks for the support. :)

CD1 and CD2 are now 100% complete! (PAL Version, CDDA, Coca Cola Mod, FREE SPEECH & CINEMATICS FULL Undub)
Currently working on CD3.

Finally the FREE SPEECH and CINEMATICS are completely undubbed now. (JP Speech, ENG Subs)

**The only time that NPCs are silent is if there are speech files that were missing or incompatible. (No way to fix this!)
**If an NPC is silent then ENG subs are still used. (No more JP/ENG hybrid Subs lol)

I am glad that I got the undub working properly after all this time.
CD3 will be completed soon.

I will keep you updated.

Re: Shenmue 1 Undub 99min CD01 for Dreamcast

Thank you very much for your hard work smith. I can't wait to try out the undub :)

Thanks bro.

Hey Smith, I created this account just to thank you so much for this!!!
You have no idea, I've been waiting 10 years for this. I'm totally OCD about having games like these in Jap dub and English sub and I have Shenmue JP and Shenmue II PAL so it's perfect for me!
I'll await the download links patiently while I search for some CD-R 99 online (I have a NEC ND-3520AW so I should be good there).

Cheers!

PS: If I may, as a suggestion on your next project: Berserk :)

The undub is for 80min cd-r's NOT 99min cd-r's.
The only version will be an 80min version.
This is just an old thread for an older undub version I was working on at the time.
When I finally get the undub uploaded I will try and get the admins here to delete all these different threads to help not to confuse ppl as to where to d/l or what versions etc.

Currently I am working with a well known dc group to further optimize the disks.
This is why I have not uploaded anything yet.
The undub version that Adam has is a pre-release. (not optimized)

The disks will be optimized to the extent that they are as close as possible to the actual shenmue1 gd-rom's.
I know its taking awhile for this...but, I want this release to be as perfect as possible.
I started the undub project in February and it is now the end of October.

I can assure you its not going to be that much longer of a wait for you to be able to play Shenmue1 undubbed.
Thanks for patiently waiting..

Re: Shenmue 1 Undub 99min CD01 for Dreamcast

I seem to remember you saying you couldn't fit the arcade games on a 80min CD, have you found a way to do it?

Yes, everything will be included on the 80min version.
PAL, CDDA, Coca Cola Mod, Arcade Games, etc.


I started doing a version of shenmue with japanese voice subtitle english there some time ago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLCLgDiMmfs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3I-0uVDTgM

The technique consisted in taking the japanese file version (.afs) and remplace the version of shenmue (pal).

The problem is that the subtitle is recovering japanese.

Should replace all the japanese subtitle by english subtitle in the .srf file

This what you do?

The reason why the japanese subs are showing is because you need to use the .xml from the pal version .afs once you compile new .afs .

If you don't do this then hybrid subs will be used instead. (jp/eng) and eventually a crash!

You will run into issues since the japanese version uses many different files.

Alot of files will be missing/different/incompatible between both of the versions.

If you don't dummy the incompatible .srf, .str's files it will result in a crash!

The free speech is the bulk of incompatible files.

The cinematics have less incompatible files except for disk 3.

If you use the .str from jp, .srf from pal, .xml from pal, dummy different/missing/incompatible files, then rebuild .afs you will have the bulk of it completed.

Hope this helps.

Re: Issues with Shenmue Undub on my Dreamcast?

The japanese version has many more speech files than the english version does. If not close to double the amount of speech files.

The majority of the JP speech files once rebuilt into an archive are:
Missing
Differently Named
Etc.

**This is why it is silent when the files were incompatible between both versions.

It took me many months just to get the subtitles to load correctly with the modified speech files. In many different previous iso versions the mod would produce subs that had a mix of JP and ENG including funky ascii. Also previous versions had issues with crashing.. Once I finally figured out howto swap and mod everything that was possible then rebuild the archives correctly, the final result is that some of the FREE speech is silent.

Free Speech has close to 60 percent complete undub.
Cinematics is more like 98 percent complete undub.

Anyhow it was a complete bitch to mod undub.
The project is complete..although Revive DC will someday do a repack for Disc 3.

Consider this undub a hacked undub. (Modified Files, Swap, etc.)
Play this version until a newer one is available...

The only way that a 100 percent complete undub can be done is if the subs are translated from japanese to english. (while using all the jp speech files)
Good news, Kogami is doing this exact translation of Shenmue 1 for DC.
Some day it will be complete and you will not have to play this version anymore.

Hope this helps.

Re: Shenmue Undub [Japanese Speech Mod] [CD-R 80/99]

Kogami, what if you merged your version with mine?

Use the optimized sort order/cdda lba etc., coca-cola texture swaps, all of the cinematic .afs files, then use the free speech .afs files from your version.

With the downsampled free speech files it should fit 80min cd-r's.
If not I have downsampled free speech jp files also depending on what sample rate you went with.

As for the re-linking of files for conserving space I will message someone for the app if possible.
From what I remember it is a linux app.
I don't think the mkisofs paramater 'duplicates-once' is sufficient..

If anything a collaboration for remaking an optimized version would be good.
There is still the issue with the disk that has the ryo motorbike scene that plays that damn intro am2 cdda part before the music on the revive dc release lol. (this is why that disk should only use 2 cdda and not all 3)
Also I think the ending is missing the speech?? I don't remember.

*Also I will look into whether or not I can upload some dc tools in the near future for shenmue dojo.

Let me know.

Re: Shenmue 2 Full English Xbox Speech mod for Sega Dreamcas

If I am not mistaken the shen2 eng version that is for emulators only was posted at snesorama about a month after my 80min and 99min versions were uploaded.
It is a direct file swap of the shen2 xbox .ahx files.
No downsampling, No compression, Nothing ripped.

If anyone wants to create a version like this...
Simply swap the xbox files and create a selfboot cdi.
Done!
It is definately the perfect version for emulators.
And it should also be the perfect version for gd rom emulators and dc-ide? <--has anyone tested?

Anthony817 is correct.
I never wanted to make the 99min version at all.
I was fine with the 80min cd-r version since anyone can burn the iso with no need for special disks or burners.
The 99min version uses compression only, no downsampling.
I have never even played the 99min version.

Re: Shenmue 2 Full English Xbox Speech mod for Sega Dreamcas

The 99min version was only compressed. (If something went wrong idk?? or care)
The 80min version was downsampled dramatically in order to fit a standard cd-r.
There was a time here at shen dojo when people were trying to gather any info necessary to find unused assets in shenmue 2 that could be removed.
This however never came to fruition.
Like I have said before I never wanted to even make a 99min version.
I am completely fine with the 80min version.

If you want a definitive version of shen 2 english speech for DC...
Swap the files from the xbox version and build a .cdi.
No downsampling, No compression.
The version will be too large for any cd-r and would only be for emulators or gd-rom emus.
If you don't want to create this version, then you can download the premade emulator only shen2 eng speech iso somewhere in the community projects section.

If anyone cares to make new versions of shen2 eng speech for dreamcast the ahx tools are found in the dreamcast sdk.
I have no desire to work on any shenmue projects.
So its up to someone else that wants to do it.
Sorry for the rant.
