It should work on the Dreamcast 2. Better disc laser.
Every other dreamcast game I played has worked fine though, I also own another copy of 2 where it doesn't give me this problemI highly doubt that it's the discs that are getting too old. It's rather the laser in the console. Sooner or later these things will burn out, especially if they have been abused with CD-Rs.
They called Ryo 'Ryu'. 0/10 wasted my life.
Both Shenmue games are some of the hardest games for the Dreamcast to run, so if it’s struggling with multiple copies of them it could definitely be the laser starting to ware out.Every other dreamcast game I played has worked fine though, I also own another copy of 2 where it doesn't give me this problem

Agree with the sentiment and most of the content, but I hate how sometimes even defences of Shenmue take on a "damning with faint praise" tone.
To be fair, I read it at midnight half cut, so might not have picked up on the subtleties, but I have to wonder if it's trying to give modern audiences...not so much a warning, but an expectation that yes, you'll love this game if you give it a chance, but you have to understand it was made a long time ago and to be more forgiving about it.Agree with the sentiment and most of the content, but I hate how sometimes even defences of Shenmue take on a "damning with faint praise" tone.
Maybe they're the same person. We know Xiuying has different names like Lishoa Tao. She's called Joy which is like the opposite of Xiuying's persona who subdues her feelings. Polar opposites, Yin/Yang, on the box art they're facing opposite sides like they're mirror equivalents.The anime made me wonder why Joy and Xiuying don't seem to know or mention each other at all. Specially since both seem to have some relationship to the Chen family (and both being pretty famous people in Wan Chai, too).
The anime made me realize that Joy is a foreigner and not a native Cantonese (in hindsight, this was actually horrendously obvious), which in turn made her family’s connection with the Chens all the more intriguing. I’d never thought about how Xiuying is connected to the Chens (or, by extension, Joy), but now that you bring it up, it does raise some interesting questions (particularly with the anime doubling down on Master Chen being a shady character). I could buy Joy’s father being some illegal importer of Chinese artifacts to the west or something (especially with Hong Kong still being a British territory during the period that the games are set), but it’s hard to imagine Xiuying being connected to Hong Kong’s criminal underworld by anything other than her brother. Maybe the anime will touch on this?The anime made me wonder why Joy and Xiuying don't seem to know or mention each other at all.

LOL. I love this theory, it makes plenty of sense .Going to be a great twist if in Shenmue IV we see her take the orange wig off lol XD.
The poison brothers are really scared of Joy. Maybe they tried to pester her, and she used Bajiquan to knock them down.LOL. I love this theory, it makes plenty of sense .
I'd add that, while in Hong Kong, Joy and Xiuying take perfectly synchronized turns to give Ryo some accommodation. Particularly that day when Xiuying and Ryo argue, and Joy is conveniently there to remind him of the Come Over Guest House.
