Here is footage I took of the July 19th 1999 Prototype of What's Shenmue.

It's literally just face demos.

Thanks to Laurent C for dumping the disc!

You can get the dump here:

This is running on my real Dreamcast via USB-GDROM upscaled and outputted over hdmi via the DCDigital.

My video editor and Youtube kill the quality due to compression. Hit me up if you want the original higher quality video.
The audio is shit due to my capture card. I'll look into another way to better capture the audio.

Enjoy:
 
This is from over 12 months ago.

Only a few things of note really, the executable is mostly the same from other beta content which has been dumped (including the most recent dump). There is a C file and a header file to be used with seqconv, but other than that, there's nothing groundbreaking in here, unfortunately.

Damn sad to hear there isn't many differences. For what it is worth, it is refreshing to see people dump their GDRs nonetheless.
I'm assuming this disc is some sort of Kiosk demo or something due to the way it behaves.

The guy who dumped it seems like a good dude. This is his site where he preserves stuff if anyone wants to check it out:
