Shenmue II COMPLETE NOTEBOOK Walkthrough
Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2009 6:31 pmGreetings, Shenmue players!
This is what most of you have been waiting for. It's not Shenmue III, though...
It is Shenmue II COMPLETE NOTEBOOK Walkthrough!
UPDATE 2014: Got a low-profile videocard and emulators are running at 60fps! And btw Demul emulates as good as nullDC, if not better.
Anyway, the update covering Disc 2 part will be up in some weeks! Please keep in touch!
Shenmue II Complete Notebook guide became a Walkthrough.
Based on Vector's Shenmue I Complete Notebook guide
To replace Julian's Shenmue II Notebook guide, which was the best and most viewed on internet until now.
Long time no see, I started this work 4 years ago (last time updated on Aug. 25, 2009 (Tue)). It's true that I have given up so many times because the only way I can play this game is on an emulator. I have a notebook on-board graphics card which makes the game lag so bad (runs at 50-60% of speed, most of time). I never got to finish the games on a console before... Even with a lot of lag and bugs, I have been beating the game several times on PC during those years to understand how the notebook works. I DID collect all the entries from the notebook and I have written them all in a ".txt" file like the previous guides above, but Shenmue II notebook can't be guided like that, so I started out again on an upgraded ".pdf" project, where I can provide screenshots and steps with more resources and color, sort of a Walkthrough! If you get any questions about any particular notebook entry, note me right away.
The walkthrough includes, of course, the steps to unlock each entry like Vector did on his guide, but also features:
- tons of screenshots
- notes and hints (save before missing an entry)
- pointing out Xbox text revision on certain pages
- collecting all maps
- collecting all pawnshop flyers
- saving money
- selling at best pawnshops
- different paths with different notebook entries
- secret events
- learning all moves
Complete Notebook current progress (as for May, 2013):

Sorry for my English mistakes, I'm foreigner, learning English and Japanese everyday with Shenmue! Note me if you have any suggestions for grammar.
Hope that my efforts make Sega release Shenmue III right away
Comments are welcome!
