Whats Shenmue special demo face GD-R

why sega used this beta ? thats a question of 100000 dollars :

This beta take long time to boot. If i remember, it was impossible for me to boot the GD-R whit disc system or dev kit. I used this beta only whit emulator.



Thats can be nice to translate in english

interesting do you have any half life 1 debug prototypes?

 

Yes released last years for Half life

 

Eh, this face demo was available in Japan for anyone. Its part of the What's Shenmue disc. Its not at all rare. Look for an iso of What's Shenmue.

 

Yes but the date of this GD-R is after the release of whats shenmue, 1 or 2 weeks after

 

I noticed in the video you have posted that the hair is quite glitchy. I'm guessing this is because you are using emulation rather than real hardware. This effect does not happen on real hardware.

 

The GD-R doesn t boot whit hardware . Freeze on the Sega copyright

I read this beta only whit emulator. I need to try whit other dreamcast.

 

As always, thanks for sharing @Laurent!

The fact that this comes from a GD-R, with only 1 copy known to be in public hands makes this an interesting and definitely a rare feat. Also as Laurent pointed out, the build is dated after What's Shenmue. So who know's what else is being stored on this disc....? Hopefully with the help of some crafty members here we'll figure out soon enough

 

After? The build date is actually one day before the released version, at least the one that's in TOSEC. So this is technically a prototype.

There are some code changes in 1ST_READ and some of the map info scene files got changed. One of the sprite files got changed as well. Not sure what these changes mean though...
