Add tracks from Yakuza 1, 2 and 3 into the game. This will affect the main menu, in-game dialogue scenarios and boss fights. I think it spices up the game in very interesting ways.
I would have pushed things further and attempted a complete conversion but honestly Yakuza 0 is a headache to toy around with. Much of the actual music in cutscenes is tied to the voiced lines so... changing the music means no more voices. Hopefully someone takes my idea and expands upon it.
This is a very early work in progress that has not been tested fully and it may very well never be finished but at the very least you have something to enjoy if you are a fan of the older Yakuza titles.
Instructions: Drop the bgm.cpk file into the soundcpk folder within your game directory's media folder.
Glad to see you posting stuff on here. Will definitely check this out. Hopefully some more people add content to moddb soon, seems we are the only ones.
I'd love to see more support for this game.
I wish SEGA would release some sort of mod tools for easier access.
There is an optional Shenmue Music for Free Roam version currently being uploaded (as seen in the video).
Expect it in the next few hours.
mind me asking how this works exactly? does it randomize encounter music?
I wish. Regular battle music is locked away in another encrypted file that I have no hope of unencrypting.
The original mod touches the music of some of the in-game cutscenes, quite a few of the story battles (boss fights, extended battle sequences) and maybe some side missions. Nothing is randomized but everything is looped.
So you will get a decent mixture of original music and modded music, not a complete conversion.
The optional Shenmue version adds traveling music while you're walking through the towns.
Just keep in mind that the mod hasn't been tested thoroughly, keep a backup of the original files.
