Changelogs
Version 1.26
Reverted the loading screen and moves font back to the original font of the re-release.
Version 1.25
Fixed the intro/Shenhua scene music with a higher quality track.
Replaced the erhu tune playing during the Langhuishan arrival with the one in the Dreamcast version.
Looped the notebook theme to avoid the volume jump.
Subtitles fix: uncensored a lot of lines about (male) Yuan, since for the re-release (besides doing their own censorship) they basically just changed the pronouns and 'woman' for 'man' and called it a day.

Version 1.12
Haoyi->Najim and some Fangmei lines that were better translated in the xbox subs.

"None", "Cafe" and a couple of Yuan's censured lines.

Fonts are in their own tac/tad instead of modifying the common_5be2c4e2.tad
Version 1.02
Fixed moves stats font
Version 1.01
Fixed first Joy cutscene and Pigeon Park line.
Shenmue II Redreamcasted
This mod aims to fix everything they broke in the Japanese audio in the re-release and return it to its Dreamcast form. It contains:
Restored voice quality: the Dreamcast voice files converted to uncompressed WAVs (in the re-release they're recompressed to xWMA @ 20kbps).
Uncensored voice tracks: d3t cut and removed some voice tracks, mainly what some npcs think about Yuan.
Dreamcast lip-sync and voice timings: no more awkward pauses during conversations with npcs.
~70 additional (missing) voice tracks.
The English subtitles from the Dreamcast PAL release, as opposed to the ones from the English dubbed OG Xbox version used by the re-release, except Yuan remains as "he/him".
Retranslated subtitles for the find (male) Yuan quest.
As an optional download: Yuan's female voice with the full PAL subtitles.
The Guilin arrival erhu tune replaced by the Dreamcast one.
And also:
A more readable notebook font with arrows and stars (fortune tellers symbol) as in the Dreamcast version.
Higher quality music track for the Intro (runner Shenhua) scene.
To Install (since v1.10)
Just extract the "redreamcasted" folder into steamapps/common/SMLaunch/sm2/archives/dx11/data. Nothing else is required.
