One thing to remember, the whole point of Sega making the 480P VGA box in the first place was to REMOVE the scanlines created by the limitations of conventional CRT television of the time that could only accept a 480i signal. It was designed to give you a picture that was not broken up by empty black lines with no picture data every other line, but actually contained UNIQUE image data for every line when connected to a CRT Monitor. So, by adding back scanlines after you have connected a VGA box means you are simulating the inferior CRT televisions 480i signal after you have just made it better with a 480P signal?! If a 480i signal with scanlines is all you want then why buy the VGA box in the first place, just buy an RGB scart cable and an old CRT television and, hey presto, you have clean 480i signal with native scanlines and without the expense of the VGA box. Like I said before, scanline generators are fine with 240 2D sprite based DC games as by the time they hit your monitor when using a VGA box they have had a duplicate of the line next to them added to bring it up to 480P, the extra lines of image data were never present in the game in the fisrt place to be lost, so adding black scanlines to every other line is only losing you a DUPLICATE of the line next to it, but by adding scanlines to a 480P signal means you are removing every other line that contains UNIQUE image data that the clever VGA box is working so hard to give you in the first place!!

Scanlines for 240, 2D sprite based games = Nice!
Scanlines for 480P '3D' polygon games like Shenmue = Replacing image data with empty black lines; image loss!

Sorry for bumping an old topic, however I live in Japan and this landscape reminded me a lot of Yokosuka. This was taken on my way to the grocery store. I am about an hour from Yokosuka though. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/22/5ure7aby.jpg

A little update for my collection. I added the Kuming You're my only CD, Shenmue the Movie DVD, KG Books Guide and US DC Magazine Demo with Shenmue on it to my stuff a while ago.

Today I recieved something much nicer though. I finally got a hold of the Chapter 1 Yokosuka OST. I'm pleased to announce that it's no cheap bootleg this time. It's the absolute real thing by Sega with the small film strip and everything.

The mastering of the CD is outstanding as it sounds fantastic. I'm listening to it right now and it sounds a lot cleaner then the high quality MP3s I had for so long. And I have an X-Fi sound card in my PC and I do not have have an expensive CD Player connected to my stereo. It's just my DVD player that I use to listen to the CD so put that in perspective.

Hey guys,

I found this on youtube earlier today. I don't no if this has been posted yet, but if it hasn't, then enjoy.

The entire movie is in the Japanese dub without subtitles, so good luck understanding it. It is also a little choppy at the beginning, but gets better as it goes on.

enjoy peeps

I see myself in Ryo. Stiff, awkward bastard..

I was originally going to post this in the Shenmue 1080p thread but it's not 1080p and it's ultimately a different sort of image altogether. I also thought maybe it would work in my project sekai thread but I'm going to use that for when they're animated. (Yes, I'm working on it and it's going to be AWESOME!)

Anyway, here is my first one. Click the pic for a much bigger view!

Found this in a google search. This probably the highest quality Shenmue front cover art I've found online. All the other I've seen have the Shenmue logo photoshopped. If anyone should make a replacement front cover then this is the one to use. The back and siding isn't that good.

Why do you want to check it out for yourself? What would you do there?


Lots of reasons.

- To witness first-hand the intense propaganda / brainwashed citizens.

- To see the skyscrapers and luxurious hotels that were built/maintained via. money that the Dear Leader should spend on the millions of people in poverty that work their hands to the bone for just enough to survive; they of course don't take you to these places, as they only show you the glamorous parts of the country (pretty much just 3 cities, as far as I can tell), but on the bus/train rides on the tour that transport you between each city, you pass through the very rural areas and some barren wastelands which allow you to get a small taste of how the common N. Korean citizen lives.

-To get tours of military/war museums where the guides give you their side of the Korean war, and explain why they Americans. As an American, you just absorb it in, and don't DARE say anything otherwise lol

- The ladies at intersections instead of street lights / How the lights in the city go out and there is total blackness at the same time each night; except they keep the lighting on the most important things, of course.. the statues and monuments of Kim Il Sun and the other 2 knuckleheads.


I hear that when you're there, you feel like you're in a place where time stood still. Plus i'd just be going for a 5 day, 4 night tour. So, worst case scenario is I'm bored for a couple days... Actually worst case scenario is I go on a tour and while I'm there, they declare war on the US. and keep us as prisoners and force us to work in concentration camps, and after a decade of being trapped and worked to death with no chance of rescue, I decide enough's enough and attack a guard and instantly get shot in the neck and die slowly.. that would be worst case scenario, but meh.

Why does Ryo do a phone hand signal or a rock hand gesture?

In fact that whole thing is not like Ryo.

I was feeling kind of shitty, unsure of certain of my life decisions, and anxious last night. I really needed something to pick myself up and reassure myself, then I thought of this thread and realised exactly what I needed: some Jazztronic and Monday Michiru! Haha. I literally felt like 100% better after listening to some. Some good ol' comfort music. I Love Monday Michiru, she's a straight up specialist in feel good easy listening, you can pretty much listen to anything by her and feel perked up! Plus, anyone who calls their album 'Soulception' gets an A++ in my book. She looks pretty great for 50 years old too! I need me a broad like that (by that I don't mean a 50 yr old, I mean someone like a young Michiru). Word up.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to get your opinions/stories on if you think shenmue still holds itself even with today's next gen consoles.
Does the storyline or nostalgia stay with you, is it one of your favourite game series?

I don't mean graphics or anything like that. I want your opinions if shenmue still remains something you play or someone you fell out of love with.

Share your thoughts

Thanks

First Time playing Shenmue was in early 2000, imported the Japanese Version, wasn't easy to Play without understanding but managed to see the end before the Bad Ending happens.

..and I was 29 then, guess I'm the oldest Fuck here around..

For what it's worth, I liked where you were coming from Jenny. We don't get enough people who dare to think outside the box or dream big over here. And that is exactly the kind of thinking that sparked Team Yu and the current campaign. Sure, not every idea will come to fruition, but some will stick and can have surprising results. So, I would wholeheartedly encourage you to stay here and continue to bounce ideas with us.

Don't worry Nahovil, I think Beethoven will forgive you. :D

To justify voting above music you might honestly prefer, I'll use the same argument as during the German magazine tournament that we won last year: Shenmue has more to gain from your vote.

Even though it's just another public poll, being able to refer to Shenmue's original soundtrack as part of a mainstream 'Hall of Fame' adds an air of independent legitimacy to fans' claims of how great the music is, which in its own minor but tangible way strengthens the argument for HD re-releases.

It may not seem like a big deal on the surface, but it's better to do it than not do it. Another feather in Shenmue's cap and another string to the bow of those who campaign for it. So even though Ziming point-blank refuses to publicize this through the vital outlets at his disposal, thank you to the Dojo members he represents for taking the time to vote. :)

"I spent 15 years begging Sega for Shenmue 3 and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"

I'd personaly hate it if Shenmue III would go as far as Shenmue Online did. That's just too much, no matter how you look at it.
If I could choose I'd like Shenmue to have no supernatural element at all. The games just put so much focus on creating a realistic world that I honestly don't like that stuff in Shenmue. I don't really mind the stuff that happens at the end of Shenmue II anymore but the first few times it really made me cringe.

I hope they don't go overboard in the further chapters. As long as they have good explanations why Shenmue has powers and that the mirrors have some mysterious force I'm happy. They really could've went without the floating sword though...

Had my operation. I'm still recovering, but i'm a lot more mobile then I was a few days ago.

The next step is for them to investigate the affected testicle and determine what type of cancer it is.

They said they would call me next week to come back into the hospital in order to have my blood checked. Apparently, once you have the diseased testicle removed, you blood levels should go back to normal after 7 days.

Next, they will give me a CT scan of my body to determine if the cancer has spread.

From there, I guess further treatment begins.

On the bright side, the chest xray that they performed a week ago was completely clear. Im guessing this will have to be reconfirmed with the ct scan, but it does make me a little bit more hopeful.

Tough times ahead.

Thanks for everyone's kind messages. It really does mean a lot.

ShenSun

Date and time announced :

Wednesday, March 19th from 2pm to 3pm.

San Francisco will be in the PDT (Pacific Daylight) time zone, so that start time equates to 5pm EST or 9pm GMT (as the UK won't enter daylight savings until later in the month).

EDIT: Had been basing this on PST, when it will actually be PDT by the time the conference arrives.

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.
:)

More Bora

Yura looking so fine.

Why did they skip D3?

Niccolo Paganini, for example, was an absolute master of the violin in ways that Beethoven would never be able to match with any instrument,

Well that's just not true. We have no actual(video or audio) evidence to base skill level assessments of either of them on so we have to go by second hand sources. All, or at least most, of which attribute god-like unsurpassable abilities to both Paganini and Beethoven. Now considering the human affinity for exaggeration we have to break it down in to realistic terms and assume this means they both achieved a very high level. Virtuoso even. Technical skill-wise, the Igudesman and Joo of the 19th century. I don't think there would be any butt whooping from either side really. Just two masters exhibiting their instruments fullest potential.

As for fame Beethoven is more well known because his shit is more accessible. Simple as that. He has "hits" so to speak. He wrote melodies like a motherfucker. Paganini wrote stuff that was impressive to play at his live shows but to the average listener not that fun. Beethoven did his fair share of musical showing off but filled in the gaps with Pathetique Sonatas and Eroica Symphanies. Stuff to get the hoes panties wet. You don't even have to like music to understand those kind of pieces(or at least the famous bits of them).

Ludwig van 4 Lyfe Bitches!

All you heads that think Shenmue 3 is going to be announced on March 19th are completely mad. Completely mad. Temper those expectations!

CT Scan CLEAR.

It doesn't look like the cancer has spread.

I just have to hope that my blood levels go back to normal now.

It looks like they caught it super early, so ill have more treatment options available.

I should be back to normal in no time........hopefully.

Are you kidding me?!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!11

This should be on the front page, it really is like playing a new game of Shenmue. I'd much prefer 'shenmue in japanese' over 'shenmue HD' which is what probably would make the front page of shenmuedojo.

This has been in demand as I'm sure you know.

I can't wait to try it out! MUCH LOVE!!!

Available on the first page.

Shenmue Undub [PAL-E] CD-R 99:
Shenmue Undub Disc 1 (CD-R 99)
Shenmue Undub Disc 2 (CD-R 99)
Shenmue Undub Disc 3 (CD-R 99)

The release CD-R 80 come later (I do not know yet if it will be possible to propose this version).

I've played Old Republic too but after an amazing first ten levels it seemed to gradually lose a lot of steam. I got bored with it at 41 and quit. A pity too, it has the best production values of any mmo on the market. I really wish they had just made a single player KOTOR 3 that did Revan's character some justice.

Here are download links to all the original Shenmue art files I've amassed over the years. It ranges from original .bmp wallpaper from Shenmue.com, scans from strategy guides, and high resolution .psd artwork from Shenmue II.

Most of this art was acquired from Microsoft Game Studios website years ago. Since Microsoft was publishing the game in the U.S they were provided these files to promote/advertise it. The .psd artwork I mentioned above is the most interesting out of the bunch. They come in some insane resolutions and are separated by layers, meaning you can easily separate a character and the background behind it. Included below are raw scans from the various Shenmue game soundtracks, and screen captures from the Xbox game.

Like I said going from normal to HD or VGA is a huge thing but going from VGA to HD is very insignifcant.

Are you for real? The only difference between scart/composite/RF and VGA is that one outputs an interlaced picture and the other progressive. I'm in no mood to go into how the two work - but in short - progressive means that all of the pixels are being updated at once as opposed to just half with interlaced. It's certainly a better image - but it doesn't come close to the difference between SD and HD.

The Dreamcast outputs in 480P or 480I - both of which equate to 307,200 pixels. 1080P offers 2,073,600 pixels - which is 6.75 times as many as 480P.

With VGA all you're getting is a smoother image rather than one which is better defined. If done correctly (these being the key words here) - HD versions of Shenmue would be a massive step up from playing the originals on DC (especially if you're playing them on a 32" monitor or higher).

I agree however, that the majority of HD re-releases we've seen to date suck major balls.

Igot some screens from the conference, not all but it's something.
