But if they don't, you can buy a PAL-NTSC adapter from most electronic stores though last time I checked, they can run you up to fifty dollars or more depending how high a quality signal you want.Īlso, those that have been saving their Shenmue save to use for the now canceled US sequel, there may still be hope. Most major European Dreamcast games have a video setting mode that allows you to change from a PAL signal to a NTSC signal and considering that the European version of Shenmue 2 might be the most imported DC game to the US, there's a chance they'll include this feature in Shenmue 2. Those without a VGA box, there's still hope. So long as they keep the European version of Shenmue 2 VGA compatible, Dreamcast owners who own a VGA box to play Dreamcast games on their monitor will should have no problem whatsoever playing the PAL version of Shenmue 2. Now about viewing them, there's a simple solution for anyone who owns a Dreamcast VGA Box. However, there's the big concern about the European version having a PAL video signal that makes it pretty hard to play on normal NTSC televisions.īut first, you can play European Dreamcast games on a US Dreamcast by using a device like the Gameshark CDX or the DC-X. Anoop and I are discussing about doing a Shenmue 2 walkthrough of the Japanese version and it all depends if we have time.ĭue out hopefully by the end of November, most of you will probably want to get your hands on a European copy of the game since it'll be a bit easier to understand (via subtitles). Again, the problem with playing a Japanese copy of the game is obviously the amount of translation you'll have to do, especially with a game like Shenmue where you have to meet a whole lot of people.
Devices like the DC-X or a Gameshark CDX are probably the most common ones and they've worked about 90% of the time I had to use them.
Of course, there's always the small problem that most US gamers aren't too fluent in Japanese, but hey, we can fudge are way through a Japanese game, right? To play Japanese games you need (1) a Japanese Dreamcast or (2) a device that allows you to play Japanese games on your US Dreamcast. Getting the Japanese version of Shenmue 2 is probably the least difficult way since you don't have to worry too much about the difference in video signals between NTSC and PAL.
