---What is this?---
This mod allows you to freely walk around the areas of Shenmue 2 without clipping. This means that you can walk through walls!
It is meant for the user to explore the unseen areas of Shenmue 2.
This release does NOT let you play the game normally. Please BUY a copy of Shenmue 2 if that is what you are looking for. This release is only for those who want to explore areas without boundaries.
---Why make this?---
Because it was always a dream of mine to explore Shenmue 2 entirely. Now I release that to you.
---How is this possible?---
This mod contains techniques developed by Bluemue, Giogio, Wude, Ilducci, and Shengoro86 combined into a public release.
This release is based on the Sm1th Full English >99min release CDI
---How do I use it?---
This is an oversized CDI so either use it on an emulator or on a GDEMU/USB-GDROM.
I did this on purpose because I do not trust the 1st_read sequencing of this release after my hacks. I am trying to keep you all safe from destroying your GDROM drives.
---Usage instructions---
Shenmue 2 does not have a public debug menu so this release will need the use of save files to pivot from one area to the next.
I included two sets of save files in this release:
Mike117's saves for Disc 4: http://www.shenmuedojo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46740
My own saves based on Mike's for three areas with different entry points.
These saves are currently in vmu*.bin format so they work natively with emulators.
For actual hardware, you can export the VMS VMI from them and download them to a real memory card with Dream Explorer or the old fashioned way.
So yeah, use the save you want to get into the area you want. Then just explore!
---Known bugs / room for improvements---
- During the walking scenes with Shenhua, you are still locked in the area behind her (unless you pivot through a wall). You can not just freely explore without her boundaries pivoting you.
- No doors are available in this release. Wait for a future release of this hack.
- Crag and some forest areas are not completely hacked yet. Wait for the next release of this hack.
- Notebook does not open to hacked instructions page.
- Shenhua's flashback scene is not available
---Footage---
Languishan
The Stone Pit Cave
Shenhua's House
