Shenmue 2 import for Dreamcast: Has anyone played it?

[stormbv]

I was thinking of buying this game from some guy on eB.ay. Has anyone else played it? Are the voices in English?

 

[AmRoD]

voices are all in jap and it's subtitled from what i read

 

[imiloa]

no, isnt there a PAL/European version that is in English too?

 

[LordJezo]

I have it.

Awsome game.


Voices in japenese, subtitles in english.


If you liked the first get this game.

Is anything needed in order to play imports?

You'll need a boot disc or a mod chip. Here are instructions for how to use your SM1 US NTSC saves with SM2 EURO PAL:

saves(Shenmue2)
this explains how to convert ntsc saves to pal i think you will
need
this for shenmue2 pal version.. so people dont delete your old Shenmue
Ntsc
vmu file couse you can convert it and shenmue2 should come to europe
so its
a great thing to be able to convert the ntsc save to pal...

1. Download this.
http://user.tninet.se/~ndi657k/dci_vmi.zip

2. Email your save to yourself using DC Browser 2.0 or above.
(just
click attachments and u can attach the save)

3. Now go check yer email and download the save file, it will
have the
filename like this Shenm_us.vmi.

4. Rename the save file A.VMS.

5. Put A.VMS in the same dir as the program you downloaded in
step 1
and run this command line. "DCI_VMI.COM A.VMS" (minus the "'s for you
morons
out there).

6. The program will ask these things.... (most of these settings
dont
matter anyways, but some of you people will get confused and ask so
ill tell
you exactly what to put)

Is A.VMS a <D>ata file or a <G>ame file? (D/G):
PICK D

Filename for DCI Output File (max = 8 chars, without .DCI):
JUST TYPE IN "NONE"

DCI File copyable? (Y/N)
PICK N

Filename that appears in VMU directory (max = 12 chars): (THIS
IS VERY
VERY VERY IMPORTANT!) Type in Shenm_uk.vmi

VMI Program Description (max = 32 chars):
TYPE IN "NONE"

VMI Copyright Information (max = 32 chars):
TYPE IN "NONE" AGAIN

ALL DONE MAKING THE VMI HOOORAY!

7. Now, you end up with a file called NONE.DCI and A.VMI, delete
NONE.DCI. Now what you need to do is upload the A.VMS and the A.VMI to
some
webspace somewhere. Once youve done that you can connect to the
internet
with your dc and put int he url for the VMI file. This will allow you
to
select the card you want to download the VMS to (make sure u have 80
blocks
free).

8. Now that it is downloaded pop in the euro version of shenmue
and
use yer save, hooray.
