Article: Evolution of the Shenmue 1 Undub

[Switch]

In late 2013, the break-through many had been waiting for materialized at last: the appearance of a fan-made Undub for Shenmue 1.

Part One of this series on the Evolution of the Shenmue Undub looks at the original release made by Sm1th - how it was put together and the pros & con. The future Part Two will cover the later kogami release.

where can I buy high quality repro's of the undub?

An online search should turn up one or two, but the actual creators of the undub don't encourage their use:

will that save work with a pal version of shenmue 2 to continue on?

Yes, since it's based on the pal shenmue.

(For the full shenmue undub experience, I would recommend playing the kogami version which has full audio. This version will be covered in part 2 of the article).

Part 2 is now up, and looks at how the Kogami version of the Undub was put together.

Part 3 will be about translating the (relatively) small amount of Japanese text that remains in the Kogami version.
