Shenmue (NTSC-U)

Ripped: Nothing.
Downsampled: Nothing in game discs; videos were downsampled in the Passport disc.
Source: GD dump.

Note for first time Shenmue players: Disc 1, 2 and 3 are game discs, and work exactly like any
other multi-disk game. Well, almost, just don't forget to accept the save prompt in transition
of discs. Disc 4 is an extra disc called Passport. You don't really have to burn this disc, but
it's cool because there are nice extra stuff.

There were tons of AFS files in the discs, and shrinking them gave me around 50mb of free space
per disc. Because of that, nothing had to be downsampled in game discs. Note that CDDA tracks are
included in all discs (although I think they're only played on Disc 3 and Passport). File order
was already optimized in game discs, so I used it. File order was not optimized in Passport, but I
used the original one as base and optimized it a bit. I had tons of problems hacking Passport.
First problem was the short CDDA tracks of opening that were playing wrong. I could solve it using
another program to hack CDDA. But the worst problem was that the game was freezing when playing a
movie, and I couldn't solve it. Then I got a release of the "Perfect Series" made by some cool
guy(s), and comparing with the PAL GD dump (their release is the PAL one) I could finally find out
how to hack the game properly. So whoever worked on the "Perfect Series" Shenmue release: thank
you. In Passport disc, space was really short, even shrinking AFS files, so movies had to be
downsampled. I made around 230mb of movies fit on around 50mb, so don't blame me if it got crappy.
I used VBR in video and downsampled sound too, so the movies have the best quality they could have.

Enjoy this masterpiece with the best quality possible.

Features of my release:
- Not corrupted files at all, it was made with GD dump files.
- NTSC-U version.
- Includes CDDA.
- Passport disc included.
- Dummied for 700mb CDs (except Passport that filled the whole disc), it means faster loading times.
- Used GD file order in game (already optimized), and custom file order on Passport. It helps
loading times and Dreamcast reader noise.
- Selfboot.

About the game:
- It has VGA Box support.

Other comments:
- "Extras" folder in the pack contains some useless stuff. Note that every disc has a different
"warning" track spoken by a dubber of the game, so you should check it.
- Release comes with manual and covers.
