>First release of the What’s Shenmue translation project. What’s Shenmue is a small demo of Shenmue that was not released outside of Japan.

>The patcher translates every text, graphic and subtitles into English, Spanish and German (One patcher for all). This can be considered the first final version of the project.

>PacoChan’s patcher will only accept original GDI format backups in order to apply the contents of the patch.

Well I didn't expect this. Anyone managed to play it yet?

"What's Shenmue" got a translation patch recently.

>In "What's Shenmue", the ultimate goal is to locate Hidekazu Yukawa, Head Managing Director of Sega. Once Ryo stumbles across him, Yukawa-senmu (as he is nicknamed by Japanese fans) runs away and Ryo must follow him in a QTE scene. Eventually, Ryo catches up to Yukawa, but has to save him from some thugs who demand a "disc" of some kind. Then the screen flashes white and we see Yukawa sleeping in his office, which is filled with unsold Dreamcasts. He realizes it was all a dream and resolves to fulfill his missions of selling Sega systems.

This game was a Japan-exclusive demo, full of content not available in the final version.
