Shenmue 2 help

[neskid]

I'm looking for the Shenmue 2 game for the dreamcast. i hear that you need some kind of adapter since the game was not relased in the U.S. any information would be helpful. I just need to know what to really look for if I ever find the game. thanks for any help

Boot disc from whomever you choose, I prefer the DC-X.

If I'm not mistaken, the later releases of the game will not work with a boot disc at all. I'm sure someone else knows for sure.

Get the import and use DC-X or any other boot disc that allows you to play imports like Funk_Buddy says.

Thanks for the info guys. Thats all i need though just the european import of shenmue 2 and the DC-X?

[Funk_Buddy]

Yes, that's all you'll need.

I looked up the dc-x boot disc and some people said it didnt work for them. they said the gameshark or codebreaker worked better. have any of you tried the dc-x with shenmue 2?

I have not since my copy is sealed. I have used the DC-X and only found one PAL game that wouldn't work. Of course I don't own a bunch either. There are some issues with Shenmue II and Headhunter. The re-release or later releases will not work with any boot disc.

You can use a GS or CB disc, but I'm not sure if that'll fix the problem with the two games mentioned. As for Japanese games, I've not had one problem and I have 150+ games.
