Want Shen Mue 2, Rez or Head Hunter for the DC? (1 Viewer)

[BrianB]

And afraid of importing them yourself? Well, get thee over to NCS, they've started pre-orders for all three games.

Me, I'm ordering them direct from http://www.gameplay.com/

How to convert your US save file to EUR-
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 ata file or a 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.

Will Shenmue2 play in NTSC or is it PAL only?

*Yes*.
Most decent European DC games have 60Hz options for faster, smoother displays on European TVs. That makes them compatible with TVs in the US. And makes importing UK games a breeze. Good old Sega!

I regularly play (original) European games on my US DC & US TV. All you need is a bootdisk like Utopia or DC-X.
I've got my copy of Head Hunter coming real soon, along with StuntGP, another Europe only release.
NCS, a large US importer, are stressing that Shen Mue 2 will work with US TVs.
Failing that - there's a VGA option, which will work fine with US VGA boxes & monitors.
