I put a video of the intro scene up on youtube

Sounds a lot like GrimMeNaCe.

We've had all this before!

It's Kogami's project. We are in no place to demand for fixes. He has expressed that he wants to focus on game bugs and not disc optimization. Let him do that, and other people can work on the optimization side of things.

Mainly out of boredom I wanted to replace the back image with this...


1920x1080 Link: ''http://i5.minus.com/id70wknjbIqxe.png''

Is it possible?

Nice SweetFX setting Ziming.

I have an alternative profile I made if anyone is interested. I made this for use on a large LCD TV. I think the CRT effect actually makes the image look even less like a CRT screen when it's heavily overdone. This is a more subtle change, and really nice looking in action.

My screen resolution is at 1920x1080 for both the PC monitor and TV. The CRT effect will look incorrect if you are running NullDC at a different res. I'm also using x2 Supersampling, but if you struggle to run with it, just enable the FXAA option in the SweetFX.ini, this will do a nice job of sorting the remaining jaggies as I have already tweaked it to have a similar effect as the SSAA.

The images below look weird when not viewed at native scale. Please click for full-size.

''PLEASE NOTE, I have not tested on an updated version of SweetFX, it might not have the same result.''

Holly shit! you beauty!

Just tested that version at the start of disc 1 and a save game from disc 3. No robot sounds from random npc's at all.

The kid at the start who asks you to put money in for a song always sounded awful. Now it sounds just like the XBOX version.

Nice find mate, nice find indeed :)

Btw, where can I get the SweetFX profile for this? I would love to see how it improves the graphics.

I wouldn't say it improves the GFX of the game, but It does do a nice job of bringing back some of the vibrance and gives it a nice punch. I always remembered my Dreamcast looking nice and vivid on my old CRT. Emulating ( although looks great in most aspects ) seems a bit dull and washed out to my eyes.

Jesus! those images look fantastic. Really nice set-up you've got going on there.

Imagine how great it would be to get a hold of a GDR burner and a case of blanks and make the best damn reproductions possible with them. I would pay a premium for that.

I get frequent power cuts in my area. I'd be pretty pissed if I got one during burning to a costly GD-R lol

Can't wait to get myself a USB-GDEMU in the near future. Hearing amazing things about them.

^Indeed. Similar hardware here, but I have a 970 myself ( much weaker ) and 6x IR and 32 layers isn't feasible. Even 3-4 IR will occasionally give drops in Shen II, especially when there is heavy smoke effects going on. The newer GPU plugins are really nice, and pretty accurate when compared to something like NullDC, but they are not very well optimized at the current time. Hopefully in the future we will be able to push it much harder without the need to brute force everything. Even on low end cards.

Don't let Demul scare you about that choice of rig though. You will have more than enough for emulating most systems. For instance, you will smash through PS2/GC/Wii if you wanted to without any trouble :)

Did this while i was bored http://i64.tinypic.com/symnmq.jpg

Amazing! I can't stop thinking about all of the awesome possibilities If they would have included him in Yakuza 0 in some kind of non-canon cameo.

I think Kazuma and Ryo would be the exact same age pretty much.

Finally a reason to replace my wallpaper after two years :)

I have been searching for this image in high resolution for many years. I Always wanted to get my own print done, but finding it in in such quality as the Shenmue II poster ( The large layered PSD one that's available ) is not easy.

I ran it through a few filters, but for obvious reasons it doesn't exactly do much.

Hello Allan. Thank you very much for interacting with us.
You will probably get countless posts about fixing up the XBOX versions texture issues and horrid bloom, but that is because a lot of us are very passionate about the original Dreamcast game. There are some glaring geometry issues with the XBOX game.

Also, the aspect ratio is wrong in the remaster. You're most likely already aware, but just in case...
