New set of unused music

Postby BlueMue » Mon Nov 23, 2015 5:37 pm

I recently found out how to make the game play each sub track of the music files that hold more then just one tune. While I was at it, I recorded all the other unused music tracks that haven't been uploaded yet and bunched them all up into one video. It's crazy how much unused music they left in Shenmue II.

I've made a super compact disc that is stripped of everything but the main menu. I just put the music I want in place of the menu music and press start at the title screen.

The drugged out Tomato Convenience Store music is stonerific.

I could swear that the track at 18:26 isn't unused. It sounds way too familiar.

I've heard Unused 26 before, it's in the DSF rip. (The one with the bad piano at the beginning, which you claim is 25 in the video description right now)

Actually, I think most of these are in the DSF rip. Is that something people here aren't aware of? It's the dreamcast equivalent of PSF / NSF / SSF / 2SF series of file formats for game music.

That second tune is exciting. Didn't Ryuji Iuchi say somewhere he's looking to reuse a few unused compositions from the older games for 3? Definitely love to hear that second song in an action sequence.

The recordings I made are all rather short with just one loop. I don't intend to release them seperately, they're really only for the video. To get them all out for you to listen. Ziming is the mastermind when it comes to Shenmue music, he should be the one doing that.

These we're obviously recorded from a Dreamcast because A: I would never do anything with the crippled Xbox music and B: I don't have a modded Xbox to do so anyway.

Well yeah, all of them are in that pack and that's where I knew all these from. Doesn't change the fact that they are unused in the game however.

Got it. Your comment about them not being uploaded anywhere yet made it seem like they were previously unknown.
