Hey all,

I have a US Dreamcast (can get more info / serial # from it if needed) and I would love to be able to play Shenmue 2. From what I understand there wasn't a US version released. I loved Shenmue 1 and would realllllly love to play the sequel.

I'm sure others have figured out a viable way to play it on the original Dreamcast. I'd prefer to play in English but I'd be totally fine to play it in Japanese as long as there are English subtitles.

I've researched this before but can't find a solid way to do it, or the process was confusing. I'm a total noob at homebrew / modding or whatever may be involved with being able to play this.

Anyone have a clear way to do this? I'd basically need step by step instructions, like you're teaching a child how to do something, hah.

I appreciate any help. Sorry if this has been asked a bunch before or if there is a clear answer out there that I overlooked in my research.

Thanks!

I never played all the way through Shenmue 2 when I was younger, so I just started through it again. I might be a little high, but I'm dying because of the part where you can run into the Shaolin Monk temple for the first time. It does this whole little cinematic where the guards stop you, then the top monk is all like, "He is a guest here let him through"

Then you're walking through the gauntlet of students doing their whole performance which, btw, has some of the smoothest animation I've ever seen in a video game. Go look it up. The little front kick they do, is like, "damn, that's smooth"

So anyway, you go through all this, walk up to the leader and then proceed to ask for directions, and more than that - the dude actually gives you directions.

I might be too high.

Tonight's plans after work

Poster from PS4 remastered edition

Any% TimeSkip will be ran by Maxylobes. I'm excited, I haven't watched/ran a Shenmue category in at least 6 years.

• • the game is confirmed as long as Maxylobes doesn't drop out for any reason before the event

Bought the games on ps4 probably 2 ish years ago. Got a new ps5 recently and wanted to play again. Can’t find 2 anywhere in the store or the library and I know that I had it and played it before on ps5. I still have 1&3 in my library. Any ideas ?

I know the game doesn’t have a native PS5 version, just wondering if there is any load times benefits.

Hey everyone! I saw Shenmue 3 on sale for like $2. I saw that Kiwami Overhaul improves everything about it and I was wondering if I should play it with the mod or without it? I'm new to the series as well so this would be super good to know.

Currently 1-3 and all of 3s DLCs are on sale for $9.35. I heard good things about the game but Ive also heard that theres so slowness to the game like opening every drawer or walking instead of running. Was the slowness fixed with the remaster?

I wish the folk behind the Yakuza games rebooted Shenmue. Both franchises share so much in common it almost feels like a no brainer. Yes there's certainly differences, but I don't see why the Yakuza team couldn't make a Shenmue game with a similar feel to the originals - they could even Collab with the creator, they'd just need to tinker with the formula a bit to bring it to modern standards. I'd say the Like a dragon brand is successful enough to have people interested in a new title, even if it's not a Yakuza game

just like the title says

I don't know if I anyone else hears it, but, as someone who's been down the Russian music rabbit hole on YouTube (as well as other cultures), outside of its surfer beat, it sounds painfully Russian to me. I don't know if that's intentional or not.
