Just bought a Shenmue and Shenmue 2 from PA last week,both JAP version.
Because of my US ver. DC,so i need to use a boot disc to load these 2 games.
When i'm trying to enjoy my games,i faced some problems then.

First,after i used the Utopia Boot Disc to load my JAP ver.Shenmue,
it seems like it just can't load the game,the load process stuck when it reach 100%.
Before this,i've try with my fren's Shenmue too.
JAP limited ver. as wat i have,but also met the same problems.
Last time i thought it was the Disc's problems,thats why i never care about it.
But just never realize that i will meet the same problems again,
with the different Disc,same game,same console.
But the most ridiculous is,my DC just work great with other games.
So,just wanna ask,do any bro here knows how to solve the problems?


this is my JAP ver. of Shenmue Chapter 1: Yokosuka,it just won't work on my US DC.Although i have change my Utopia Boot CD from v1.1 to v1.2.


The next problem is about the DC VGA BOX,i have try to connect my VGA BOX to my monitor,and trying to run my Shenmue 2 and Power Stone 2 on it.When i start the games,i can just hear the sound but the screen is totally dark,nothing i can see.As i know,these 2 games are definitely work with VGA BOX(it state on the back cover),but i just don't understand why could this happened on me,and i have checked already,the VGA BOX is definitely function,no problems at all.




my Shenmue 2 and Power Stone 2,it just won't display anything when i connect it from VGA BOX to my monitor,but i can still hear the sound.


If any bro knows how to solve these problems,hope u can kindly let me know about it,thx


Hi bro,how much are u going to sell ur HOD 2 and Zombie Revenge,and may i know hows the conditions of ur franchises?

Please to see there is another hardcore Dreamcast fans here.In deed,i haven't try to boot up my games with the GameShark CD,cause i'm always use Utopia Boot CD to boot my different Region Dreamcast's games,and it works.I will try to use the GameShark CD to boot my Shenmue later,and will post the result after i've try for it.
Anyway,thanks for ur kindly reply,bro.

As for my VGA BOX,i'm not very sure whether the problems are lie with my hardware or not,cause i've played my BIoHazard Code:veronica(NTSC/J),Daytona USA 2001(NTSC/J),Soul Calibur(NTSC/J),Sonic Adventure(NTSC/J),and some other more,and it did displayed the graphics for me through the VGA BOX,because of that,i'm not pretty sure whats the problems are.

Added on June 12, 2007, 9:40 pmTry to boot my Shenmue with DC's GameShark CD just now,
and it really works.Finally,i get to see how did Ryo's father dead.
After that,i try to use the GameShark CD to boot my power stone 2 and Shenmue 2,by connecting them to VGA BOX.The miracle did appears,my pc monitor is just displaying the graphics of Power Stone 2.
I finally get to play one of my favourite games with high definition.
Thx to bro tripleB,if it wasn't by ur help,i don't think i can be able to enjoy my Dreamcast again.


Shenmue 2




Power Stone 2


No matter how many years have past,a good game is still a good game,it'll never get changed.

Have u try this before,bro tripleB?
For me,the most impressive shooting game on DC(or among all of the consoles)
Ikaruga(斑鳩)





Maybe we can have some trade for our DC colletions,bro.No matter its ori or backup.

yup,it's really hard,my fren.
turning into black or white colour,
to absord enemy's gunshot or double up our attack power.
but since the credits for continue are really sucks....
i still can't be able to finish it yet.

Never wonder there are still so many DC fans on here in deed.
Daytona USA 2001,one of my favourite RAC games,if u wanna be a drift king,
try this b4 u think that Initial D is the best(both SEGA's franchise,but for me,Daytona USA 2001 is still the best RAC game).






Ladies and Gentlemen,start your engine.

maybe we should say like this,
for those hardcore gamers who love Dreamcast,
they have bought it long time ago.
For those new softcore gamers,
they just won't choose Dreamcast.
