Thank you! Doing this when I get off work!If you (like me) Whant to play Shenmue I and II in 16:9 widescreen during gameplay and cutscenes today is your lucky day.
Just go ahead and use your preferred HEX editor I use HxD drag and drop your Shenmue I.exe and find and replace the following values.
Find
Code:39 8E E3 3F
Replace
Code:6C C1 16 40
If you don't feel like editing your shiny new Shenmue 1 exe you can use the cheat engine table I provide to you, just change the value to 2.366
There is a counter part, the hud and subtitles will be streched a bit, bear in mind that this is a super early hack it works but it will be refined as I spend more time with the game it just finished downloading like 10 minutes ago.
This particular scene
Introduced quite some awfull artifacts on Dreamcast in widescreen in the re-release it just looks perfect.
As soon as I can I'll try with Shenmue II.
Cheers.
So I tried this the HxD way and it stopped the game loading so I changed the values back and it still won't load, any thoughts?If you (like me) Whant to play Shenmue I and II in 16:9 widescreen during gameplay and cutscenes today is your lucky day.

I think I found a way
What do you guys think? so letter boxed just like in the originals but with extra horizontal view.
Great job dude. We should link this to the developers. See if theres anything they could do with the console versions with this knowledge.
Will try once i get my new pc
It doesn't really bother me that much but maybe someone can work on a per-scene black bars mod? Another solution could be to decrease the FOV for the duration of the scene.they have 4:3 in cutscenes for glitches like this.
is not a problem of difficult to convert widescreen or not, they need more work to hide problems.
Nevermind, I reinstalled the game and the widescreen works nowSo I tried this the HxD way and it stopped the game loading so I changed the values back and it still won't load, any thoughts?
The issue you had is windows related, I have updated the patch to resolve it now. if you need it again redownload the updated version from the original post and run it as administrator and it will properly work now. Thanks for your feedback.I tried running the patch but it says "Access is denied" it failed to open xdelta3 and didn't make a backup Shenmue_0.exe. All files from the zip are in my main folder where the original shenmue.exe Am I doing something wrong?
**UPDATE** I did download "HxD" that program helped solve the issue. I'm curious is there also a hex edit for Shenmue 2 available yet?
