Hi all,

i ALMOST finished Shenmue... if my damned Chankast wouldn't crash after this second fight for saving Mark at the warehouse N°17 , i could do it...

Searching on the net i found another save, but far from there, two work days later, nozomi was kidnapped, i'm going to miss many things if i take this one...

that's the file i found

hi,

i found the save file on gamefaq, cd3 after when nozomi is kidnapped...

look...

-------------------------

The next morning is exactly like yesterday's. Ryo automatically gets up and
goes to the harbor. Forklift race. Work begins. Today, you get to take the
cargo near the Harbor Lounge to Warehouse No. 3, which is right behind
Hisaka-san's lunch stand. The quota is a measley eight crates, which you should
easily be able to transport.

After an uneventful lunch break, which you should spend gathering information
about the Mad Angels, you get to return to work. Sometime during your job, you
should encounter a group Mad Angels blocking your path into the warehouse.
After you beat them down, four more will appear. Luckily, none of them provide
too much of a threat. When the fight ends, Ryo will threaten the punks and
learn that the Mad Angels hang around behind Warehouse No. 17.

Finish your job and collect your pay, then head down to Warehouse No. 17.
You'll find Mark getting beat up by some more thugs. The guys you have to Free
Battle this time are decently tough, though, so be careful as you fight them.
Once the punks are gone, Mark will explain why the Mad Angels are after him:
his brother spilled the beans about some information on some top-secret deal
the Mad Angels had going on with a Chinese cartel (the Chi You Men, perhaps?).
As it turns out, Mark is looking for his brother, who he believes might have
been killed by the Mad Angels.

----------------------------------

but i don't see mark explain me... just after the fight, i've got a black screen.

i'm going to paste all what i'm going to loose if i take the save file i found on the net...


----------------------------

After that, search for Goro and talk to him, as he'll provide you with some
semi-valuable information: the Mad Angels ride around the harbor at night. Not
tonight, though, so head home.

It'll be the same routine in the morning as the last few days. After the race,
you'll find yourself transporting cargo to Warehouse No. 18 (again) from the
area in front of the New Warehouse District's No. 8. The quota is again eight
crates. Have fun.

At lunch time, Eri and Nozomi will show up, eager to take some pictures. The
first one will have Ryo and Nozomi apart, while the second has them standing
together. You get to choose one, so pick whichever you prefer, as it has no
impact whatsoever on the story. Ryo will say goodbye to Nozomi as she prepares
to leave for Canada and she'll tell him not to do anything stupid. The rest of
the break is yours to do as you please, since there are no other events going
on. Nothing important happens during your second work period either, so I'll
just skip ahead to after you collect your pay.

Go talk to Shozo the hobo at his usual place outside the Harbor Lounge and
he'll tell you that some bikers (probably Mad Angels) like to hang around by
the lounge at night. After 7:00 PM, head on over to the lounge and you'll meet
up with them. Ryo will knock one of the bikers off his motorcycle and pursue
the other two, one of whom is Charlie. Time for a QTE! The command sequence is
->, <-, A, <-, <-, A, ->, ->, ->, <-, <-, ->. Note that you have a choice on
the last two commands. Follow Charlie by pressing <- then ->, otherwise you'll
lose track of him and have to restart the entire sequence.

When you finally catch up to Charlie, he calls up five of his cronies to take
you on. After slapping them silly in a Free Battle, you get to fight with
Charlie himself. He's a bit harder than the guys you've been fighting
recently, but he shouldn't provide too much of a challenge (unless you suck).
As usual, Ryo will interrogate his fallen enemies. You'll learn that some
Chinese big shot is leaving soon. Sounds just like Lan Di...

No side quests or anything of the sore tonight, so just catch a ride home.

The usual morning routine awaits. Today you'll be taking stuff to Warehouse
No. 18 yet again. This time, your stack of crates is down near Warehouse No.
17. Also, for the third day in a row, the quota is eight. Also, today's lunch
proves uneventful.

When your break ends, keep bringing the cargo to Warehouse No. 18. Around
3:00, be heading towards the warehouse from where your cargo is and you'll
spot Goro writhing in pain on the ground. That stupid white-boy sailor in the
green shirt will emerge and lure you towards a warehouse, where a deadly trap
awaits. A large group of Mad Angels are ready to rumble, so you'd better get
ready to QTE! This fight's commands are B, A, B, A, A, B, <-, Down, A, B.

When your work day ends, Mark will show up and tell you he overheard some of
the Mad Angels talking about some black-market deal called "Long Zha". Find
Mark staring out at the sea around where the forklift drivers out lunch and
speak to him a second time to gather some more information pertaining to the
deal. You'll also learn the names of the stupid white-boy in the green shirt
and the other guy clad in purple: Tony and Smith!

Once you've finished with that, you can just mess around until you can go home
--there isn't anything else you need to do today.

When the morning comes, be sure to enjoy the forklift race to the fullest
because, sadly enough, it's your last one. Today's route can be a bit
perplexing if you don't know what to do, so make sure that you listen to Mark
(or you could just read what I'm about to say... whichever you prefer). First
take a crate from the area in front of the Old Warehouse District and bring it
to Warehouse No. 8 (New District). Once there, drop off your cargo and grab a
reddish-colored crate from inside the warehouse. Take that on over to
Warehouse No. 18 and leave it there. Then, return to the first area and repeat
the entire process. The quota for today is a not-so whopping ten crates. Yay.

When lunch time comes around you're in for quite the surprise... someone you
know is getting married! Who, you ask? Why Goro and Mai, of course! Don't
forget to laugh as this scene goes on, since it is, in fact, rather hilarious.
The rest of the lunch break is for you to do as you please.

Back on the job, keep working until you see Tony and Smith (A.K.A. the stupid
white-boy in the ugly green shirt and the African-American dude in the hideous
purple shirt) standing around in front of Warehouse No. 18. As you might
expect, an exciting chase scene ensues. This elongated QTE sequence begins with
<-, B, B, <-, A. You are then given a choice: pressing <- forces you to press
<- again, while pressing -> omits the second command entirely. From here you
have another <- or -> choice, each of which lead to completely different
following sequences.

If you press <-, the remainder of the sequence will be: ->, A, ->, <-, ->
If you press ->, the remainder of the sequence will be: A, <-, ->, <-, ->

Whoever you chase down will end up in the same place. The low-level punks don't
know when the Long Zha is, but you can find out one juicy nugget of
information: the boss of the Mad Angels is some guy named Terry. From here,
your work day will automatically end. Yada-san will hand over your pay, as well
as a note from Gui Zhang. Ryo will head on over to Warehouse No.8 by himself,
so you don't have to bother with such a menial task yourself.

Ryo is told that Lan Di has nothing to do with the Long Zha, as only the
low-level Chi You Men are involved. Terry is trying to join the Chinese cartel,
so he is acting as a guide for Lan Di. Ryo persists, but Master Chen will not
reveal the time that the Long Zha will take place.

That's all there is to do today, so mosey back on home and go to sleep.

--------------------

and this is where i'm going to begin with the save i found......

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Deal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ryo will wake up in the middle of the night to get some fresh air--a
refreshing twist to the typical Shenmue schedule. When he returns inside,
Ine-san will tell him that Nozomi has come home tonight. Shortly after, the
phone rings. Ryo answers, only to hear Chai's mindless jibber-jabber. It seems
the Mad Angels have taken Nozomi captive down at Amihama, and you've only got four short hours to get there.


-------------------------------

So it would be great if someone could give me a save game just after the fight for saving Mark. or know a place where i can download it... i'm surprized that i can't manage to find one if chankast crash there...

is this problem occur on every computers ? or can i do a try on another one... perhaps it could work...

I would have replied sooner, but I was hoping that someone else would step up, and provide this link. It's in my bookmarks, but my bookmarks are a terrible mess, so I didn't want to bother looking for it.

Anyway, try this site. They have tons of VMU saves. I'd guess that chances are pretty good that you'll find a save closer to your liking on that site. If you can't find one there that suits your needs, I'm guessing that it will be very difficult to find one at all. Hopefully this helps. Mouser X over and out.

Nothing to do...

hi all,

no way... i searched the net for hours... trying some different website ... in vain.

thx mouserX many save games on the website you gave me, but no one where i want

i found a selfboot image of VMU tools with almost 6000 VMU saves for most EU, US and JP Dreamcast games, 400 Shenmue VMU Goodies, 130 VMU games, 350 VMU icons, 32 new wallpapers and 9 new musics.

at this adress...

http://bswirl.kitsunet.org/vmutool/release/downloads/index.php?lg=en&menu=on

there are many many shenmue save games on it but it seems the vmi and vms files size are too small (8ko instead of 40) and it doesn't work with vmsbrowser (i can import but with 15 block instead of 80 and a crc problem)

when i launch the selfboot image on chankast, it crash... this is an image for dreamcast only i think...

did someone ever try this vmutools ? does save game works ?

As you mentionned, VMU Tool - Dream Explorer is not properly emulated in Chankast, but it works on real Dreamcast.

You can't extract VMU files from VMU Tool - Dream Explorer's CD in case that's what you tried to do. Instead check the credits to know where you can download VMU saves that have been included.

For example, saves from the "blue_swirl" directory can be downloaded from http://blueswirl.shorturl.com in the VMU saves section.

Also don't use vmsbrowser, it's full of bugs. Try VMU Explorer instead. To use it with Chankast place vmuexplorer.exe and vmuexplorer.bat in Chankast directory and double click vmuexplorer.bat.

no changes

hi,

here is the result of my quest... i've done all the credit of the dream explorer cd and most of savegame are in .vmi so for pure dreamcast only...

no savegames are sastiffying enough, the only one most close to what i'm searching is when i must save Nozomi from Mad angels.

and Thx for your saved game Terror@urdoor, but it's always the same...

file one cleared file
file two cd 2
file three cd 3 when i must save nozomi

nothing changes... no save after saving mark.

argh, if someone could do a savegame at this point... i would be able to distribute this save on the net on my personnal website... i love this game and it's so boring to be stucked by a bug...

i finished shenmue I with the nozomi save game, and i started shenmue II on xbox :) but i'd always like to have a good savegame to publish it on the net, for all chankast player who loves shenmue (i'm sure there are plenty).

Not true...

Download both .VMI and .VMS files for each save and import it in Chankast with VMU Explorer. Also Nexus links are DCI files, you can import these files in Chankast with VMU Explorer as well.

There can't be only a VMI file, even when you download it with a Dreamcast browser there must be the corresponding VMS file or the download will fail.

So what to do if you find a VMI link but there's no link for corresponding VMS file?

Most of the time, the VMS file has the same name as the VMI, just replace the extension. For example, if the download link is http://mysite/mydir/mysave.VMI you can download the VMS at http://mysite/mydir/mysave.VMS.

If that fails, you'll have to find the real name of the VMS file. To do so, you have to open the VMI file and look for the resource field. If you don't know structure of VMI files you'd better opening it in VMI File Writer by Fackue, or VMI Editor. Once you get the resource field, just add the extension ".VMS" after it and replace the VMI filename with that. For example, if you downloaded the VMI file from http://mysite/mydir/myvmi.VMI and its resource is "mysvms" you can download the VMS file at http://mysite/mydir/myvms.VMS.

hi it has been a while...
I remember a while ago I had the same problem with code veronica (those who had trouble with the tiger statue would know what I'm talking about). I found in this site that someone provided a savegame, and another one took that savegame, played with his error-free game saved the game and post that savegame back on the site. and beleive you me I was looking for such a save on the web for more than 3 months...I didn't really got to thank those guys, but anyway I give them regards where ever they are now.
unfortionatlly, the problem occured again when I played shenmueI (I bet its always the problem when we play the "echelon" version). unfortionatlly (again) I could have found a savegame in this website nor in the entire web...ironically as much as I loved the game I just couldnt get to play shenmueII, and beleive me I looked in all possible markets here on on the web, the game seems just never existed:angry:
anyway if anybody have no problems with his shenmueI, please just take my save or any other save...SAVE US!!!
