Jason has put together a guide for all you Shenmue players out there who are itching to import the sequel and convert your save game over. The process it not exactly simple, but if you're a real man (woman?) who must have their stuff ported over, take a look at this scary stuff:

Fire up Hex Workshop and open the Shenmue save. You can do this by either opening the program via the start menu link and opening the file manually, or by right-clicking on the Shenmue file and choosing “Hex Edit using Hex Workshop.[snip]

So what are these flaws in the original?

I picked up a $50 dreamcast 3 weeks ago and I am wondering if I should invest in Shenmue 1.

Jason, I noticed your DOS path... Running Xp/W2K as Administrator, eh? BAD user BAD ;-)

Nice article, though. Been debating about picking up one of the game shark discs so I can play imports and this convinced me. Now with any luck, I'll actually enjoy Shenmue when I get around to play it ;-)

"The original Shenmue was a wonderful, but ultimately flawed game, but I enjoyed it quite a bit, and so when Sega canceled the American Dreamcast version of the sequel (to make way for an Xbox exclusive next year), I was extremely disappointed, and there was very little doubt in my mind that I would be importing the English-language version when it came out in Europe."

is a run-on sentence of epic proportions
