Shenmue 2 english with widescreen hack for nulldc ?

[sbkodama]

Hello, I plan to record a 16/9 hudless longplay of shenmue 1 and 2 and I wanted to know if a Shenmue 2 english version with widescreen hack work on nulldc ?
I use NullDC 1.0.4 r150 with Shenmue fixes by masterchan777 because its z buffer mode "D24S8 Adaptative linear (new, buggy still)" allow me to hide the hud.

I found the Shenmue 2 Full English Xbox Speech mod for Sega Dreamcast , a thread about hex editing and a Shenmue 2 Full English Mod Meta-Fix for Dreamcast / Redream on the old forum.

It work fine without patch, but since I found a shenmue 1 widescreen version that work it would be jarring to do shenmue 2 without it.
I couldn't make the hex edit work, maybe because one of the "Render fix" line is missing in my .cdi and the links for this version are dead.
When patched it launch but just stay on the loading screen before the menu of the first disc.
The menu work on the others discs so I tried to start a new game from here, but when asked to swap disc it just stay on the swap disc screen.

Do any of you know widescreen version that work with nulldc ?
Or another emulator where a widescreen version work and where I can hide the hud ?

Thank for your time and happy shenmue.


Edit : I tried the emulator "demul" where this version work but it run poorly and don't have many option.

Edit 2 : I tried the hex edit hack found in the old forum again.

Any reason you can't just play the PC version?

Not trying to be a wiener, just genuinely curious.

The main raison I still play on nulldc is because I can hide the hud (from buttons and watch to qte and loading screen).
I still didn't see any mod that at least hide the buttons and watch on the pc version but I could buy it if one exist ?

I may found a small solution that I need to try, since hex editing or cheating for "widescreen value" only do clipping on the border of the screen, I could hack the game to be more than 16/9 then crop my record back to 16/9, and by doing so it would also crop the recorded screen borders and its clipping.

[RELEASE] Shenmue 1/2 - Misc Tools v2.00 - 10/09 NEW VERSION

Hey guys, Just thought I'd make a post for this as it might be useful to some of you. This is a DLL that you can either: a) replace for Forklift.dll (although your mods won't work) or b) inject the DLL yourself once you start Shenmue 1/2 with something like Cheat Engine. The tool allows you to...

You can hide the hud with this on the pc version. Even without this, they are all just dds files, so it's easy to remove whatever you want.
