WTB: PAL Shenmue 2 for DC

[FrankSerpico]

I'd also be willing to trade. I have NTSC versions of Cannon Spike and Mars Matrix with original cases and manuals if a fellow Dreamcast collector would want to do a deal. Don't have much rare stuff for other consoles, though, even though my collection is fairly big. I have some semi-rare NES stuff like Guardian Legend and Crystalis but it's cart only

I'm keeping hold of my copy for now, but you can get them through Amazon UK and ebay for about 30 quid plus postage.

A half price books near me has one for $20

I passed on it because i dont have a vga cable to use.

For that price you should grab a copy and a nice cheap vga cable!

But vga is the only way to play a PAL DC game on a NTSC telly, right? I just wanna make sure unless there is another way.

Don't quote me on this - I seem to recall reading that Shenmue II will run in NTSC 60Hz, rather than PAL60. It's not really my area though as I'm in PAL-land. A VGA box is definitely worth it though. If you are in to such things it's not too difficult to stick a VGA mod in to the console.

PAL Shenmue 2 owner here- it will in fact work on US TVs, with or without a VGA cable.
I played through mine on my cheapo TV with an RF connection- it has an automatic 50/60hz switch so you don't need to do a darn thing for it to display properly.
Unfortunately for OP though mine is not available. :)

It''s cool, a friendly forum member hit me up with a trade offer :)
