[The Hazuki Legacy]

I decided it's about time I shared my rapidly-increasing library of Cheater codes I've found recently. So here they are.


These codes will work for nullDC Cheater, on the NTSC version of Shenmue I (the codes may only work on disc 1). They won't work for undub, and I'm unsure if they work on Gameshark / Game Genie either. You can get null DC cheater from here. This program is in German, however, so you might need to tinker around with it until you get what all the buttons do. You'll also need to rename the cheater .exe file to match the name of you nullDC version .exe. So for example, my nullDC exicutable is named "nulldc," so I had to rename the cheater to "nulldcCheater." Remember to also click "trainer is aus" to turn it on once you've added the codes. Any further questions, just post here.


If you have any codes you've found yourself, please post them here and I'll add them to the list. You might be able to find codes that do other things by editing some of the existing codes, so good luck on your search! Most codes can be changed by editing the last string of numbers. For example, from 00000001 to 00000002 might cause the code to do something else.

* Codes marked with an asterix are still unpredictable, and could use some more research to find better codes, and to nail down exactly what the listed codes do, more predictably.


Most Wanted Codes!
Clipping off (allow Ryo to walk through any walls. Most wanted code!)
Weather select (a more reliable weather selection code(s))
Music select (play any music, anywhere)
Walkman play while exploring (stop the cassette player music stopping when you exit it)
Ryo model swap
Fuku model swap (swap fuku's model OR fighting style to let us fight with anyone)
Fight an enemy with infinite health (for training. Should be easy to work out)
Train anywhere (A switch to set the "train here yes/no" dialogue as active)
First person view (keep the camera in first person constantly when exploring)
Hidden raffle prizes (?)
Fast movement (move faster. Or perhaps fight faster?)
Fly (a more reliable flying code, to walk in the air anywhere)
Hack NPC spawns (make any NPC spawn in Dobuita, for example)
Ryo X + Y + Z pos (fix Ryo's current X or Y position)
Jump to location (jump to any specified area when you exit one)
Retro Hazuki residence outside (like it is in the memories custcene, with the falling cherry blossoms)
Passport online menus (fool passport into thinking you're connected to the internet)
Bypass guarded areas (walk post areas guarded by NPCs, such as at the docks)
Hidden phone numbers (make any call connect to hidden numbers or conversations?)
Endless 70 man battle (enemies re-spawn? Might be impossible)
Switch battle ID numbers (to start any battle you want, possibly?)
Camera distance behind Ryo (non-shaky camera prefered)
Spar with Fuku again and again (should be pretty easy to find)
Stop mandatory bedtime (a code which prevents the auto bed-time and lets you stay up all night)
Camera boundary vanishing (stop objects vanishing when they go slightly off camera)

Amazing work, David! That would be so much fun while playing Shenmue. I will buy you a drink for this post, when I'll get my allowance from Ine-san!

[The Hazuki Legacy]

Edited the post to add a list of most wanted codes. Some of those are hard as hell to find, and others I just haven't searched for yet.

[Shenmue Stare]

Good stuff, man!

My computer can barely run Firefox at the moment, let alone a Dreamcast emulator, so I can only sit and enjoy the screen caps and videos that other people make of these effects. I wonder if there's one similar to "Enable Context Sensitive Button" but removing the on-screen button prompts during QTEs... Now that would test any hardcore player!

That's already possible with the latest nullDC which was optimised for Shenmue (I think it's called the Shenmue mod or something). It has a beta z-buffer mode which removes images such as HUD and QTE buttons. Definitely hardcore.

Wanted Code: a code that will let you continue the game even when you save it with the "Resume" feature (normally, the game prompts you to exit the game, like: "Game save is complete! You may now exit the game.").

But surely that would be unnecessary in an emulator. Doesn't it have a built in save feature?

Thank you for these codes. I have been toying with using an emulator for ease of use (my convoluted setup links a Dreamcast via a VGA box to a VGA - HDMI converter, to a HDMI capture box that links to both my PC and my TV). But I still like the genuine experience. I might invest in a Dreamcast controller adapter for PC.

[The Hazuki Legacy]

Unfortunately, nullDC doesn't have an instant save state like zSNES does for example. You have to save through the game.

[jameswalker85]

Ah, nuts.

[The Hazuki Legacy]

I've been determined to find a code that lets you fight Fuku for an unlimited amount of time. So far, the best I've come up with is a code that seems to give him unlimited "heath," which makes the fight go on much, much longer. It's not forever, but it does make the Fuku fights more interesting.


You can copy this into your Cheater's code.ini file, under Shenmue:

long fuku fight 0022575C 0000000A
long fuku fight 0022575D 000000D7
long fuku fight 0022575E 00000063
long fuku fight 00A365E2 00000000
long fuku fight 00A36F7C 00000059
long fuku fight 00A376A3 00000000


I'll work on making it last forever.

Would be amazing plus hilarious to find a code for the 70 Person Battle, that makes Ryo's and everyone's health infinite AND put the number of defeated persons near to 70 (like 69), to activate all bosses and all other persons, so as to make them ALL coming at you to fight! Imagine 70 persons attacking 1 (Ryo) ...just superb!

Preferably this should be the case for the unlocked Time Ran mode at the Options (where Ryo fights alone), of course you'll need a completed save (why not with all moves available and mastered). How long can keep going into an EPIC fight?

[The Hazuki Legacy]

I've cracked it. Now I know why some codes were working only sometimes. Many code addresses are only variables for Ryo in one location, because it's a new instance of Ryo in each place as far as many of the codes go. For example, the code to make Ryo invisible (first person mode, lol) in Yamanose is different to the code to make him invisible in Sakuragoaka. Now that I know that, I can start jotting down the area ids.

This means that I should be able to find codes faster now. Stay tuned for some interesting results.

[Giorgio]

Just wanted to have this code here, too:

Ever wished the cassette player in Shenmue would continue to play after you return to the game and start walking around? Well wish no further! Use the following cheat code on the NTSC version of the game: 002171FD 00000000. (May only work on disc 1.)

[The Hazuki Legacy]

I'll update the whole list soon with all the codes I've found recently.
