Im posting on the behalf on anyone who played shenmue as a teen, spent countless hours online finding/remembering the name of it, dl'd 5-10 nulldc files which are not compatible with yours' or my device(s), read every and any thread seeking how to format the memory card, and even downgraded sw in attempt of writing to the internal memory via random yt video comment (YOU CANT WRITE TO THE INTERNAL MEMORY OF AN ANDROID DEVICE.) Well, kudos to us,and for those people who are not us, i encourage you to post your experience as well, im sure every bit of detail is helpful in the development of this long awaited project.
My specs: LG Viper, ICS 4.0. im clearly not a "gamer" although i joined this community in hopes of broadening the expanse of the project. i have ran shenmue on my android phone. however, i am unable to actually play it. the long, grueling intro plays and it lags/slow at times, purple spikey glich, in reference to an earlier post. the problem where i cant play i believe lies within the memory card issue. let me explain.
1. save disc to mnt. of sd card (figured this out with trial and error)
2. open and start nulldc
3. shenmue menu screen appears
4. load game option-start without saving?
5. exit game
6. remove disc files from mnt.
7. open and start nulldc
8. open files and format memory card/erase data(tried a, then a+b)
9. exit nulldc
10. replace disc files, reopen nulldc
11. same as step 4
The emulator doesnt save the settings of the memory card, how could it save progress?
via nulldc-alpha-0,1.apk
my regards to rz and drk
i would gladly pay for an android dreamcast emulator.....
