Title: Shenmue
Post by: thexboxPIII on June 10, 2006, 08:31:00 PM

I was trying to give it a shot and try to figure out a way i can port the game. Tried little things like putting the files from the dreamcast cd to the shenmue 2 dir which have the same folders and same file extensions, but no luck. Hope somebody will help me out on this and sombody else would get intrested.

No.

The Xbox and the Dreamcast are completely different in just about every way.  What you're trying to do is equivalent to sticking a Super Nintendo Catridge into your Xbox and hoping it will work.  It is physically impossible unless you somehow had the source code for the original Shenmue, and even then it'd be pretty unlikely.  Sorry to disappoint you.

Although the file fotmats in shenmue 1 for dreamcast and shenmue 2 for xbox might be the same the biggest problem here is that the default.xbe file for shenmue 2 is looking for specific files and is kinda setup to only run them. A full port of the shenmue 1 executable file would need to be done which would require the source code which of course only Sega has.
