Dead or alive 2 Limited Edition

Post by Ede07 »

hey everyone,
i dont know if the majority of users here know this, because i didnt found a topic for doa2 LE, but the japan release adds:

- 2 new characters
- 2 new stages
- 70 new costumes
- 60fps instead of 30fps
- uncut intro movie

compared to the us version, which is the far inferior one.

my problem is, an .gdi image of this version seems to be gone. im searching for months now, and i know it would be kind of critical to ask for an image here... so i say: anyone who could maybe help, feel free to send me a private message. my gdemu collection is almost complete, just this one is missing.

thanks for reading!

Dead or Alive 2 Shokai Genteiban is what you google search for. There is copy on internet archive. But you can download from the thread posted also.

the games in the collections saying "truncated". what does that mean for the image? is anything missing? im not a native speaker, so in german truncated could mean something like cutted.

It means unnecessary padding has been removed. All original files are in place. It will run just like the original. Dub's collections are awesome, he's spent a lot of time on it and we owe him much thanks. If you have a question, he'll answer it. If you have an issue with with a download, he'll fix it.
