Problems Shenmue 2 and ide-cf mod with dreamshell - Lisko - 03.10.2018 17:20
Hi, I recently purchased my first dreamcast from ebay with picopsu mod, compact flash ide mod, bios chip replaced with a flashable one and currently running dreamshell's bootloader. I purchased a sandisk ultra 16gb (333x 50MB/s). All seems to be fine, tried a lot of games and works well even in true dma mode and is pretty fast. I was playing shenmue 2 with widescreen hex patch and I'm currently at disc 2 when you go to warehouse no. 8 to enter Beverly hills wharf. After the second battle that you have to mandatory loose you will wake up in wong's boat. After sleeping starts a cinematic surrounding the zone but at some point video and audio hangs and console freeze. I tried also with "vanilla" gdi, a cdi version, switching off dma, playing with emu async sectors and tried loader 0.6.6 and nothing: it freeze always at the same point. Now I can only burn a cdi version only to pass the cinematic. Since shenmue 2 is given fully compatible, did someone played the whole game from ide? I also have another problem: as said the cf seems to work well and pretty fast but if I try to write to it from dreamshell for backing up saves or save a preset the console hangs and after a reboot sometimes I have a file with right name but 0 byte and sometimes completely mess the file system and I have to reformat so my dreamcast can access the cf in read-only but as said all games seems to work fine except for shenmue 2. Hope the two issues are not related. Thank you all for your responses.

Please let me know if you can finish disk 2 without hassles! I had to burn a copy only to pass a cinematic and then resuming from ide-cf.
Also, @swat or @megavolt85 or any other experienced dc modder: what do you think about the read-only issue that I have? Wiring or ide-cf adapter?

There are a few issues with shenmue 2s second disc.
I ran into the same issue and a number of other lockups.
I burnt a CD for it.
Disc 3 plays fine but there is another lockup on the final disc at the shenmue tree. I also had to burn a disc to get past that too

Thanks at least now I know that isn't a problem of my unit!
EDIT: I found another game given for working but is not: 18 wheeler loads but locks after the start of third stage.
