Dreamcast had the definitive version of RE2. GD-ROM allowed both scenarios on two discs with high-bitrate FMV. CDI rips downsampled the FMV to 15fps. The GDI preserves the silky Sega broadcast-quality video. If you want, I can:

Shenmue (USA) – Redump GDI (disc 1) – CRC32:8E2F8A3B
| Format | Size | Completeness | Audio | Padding | Best for | |--------|------|--------------|-------|---------|-----------| | GDI | Full (~1GB+) | ✅ Perfect | Uncompressed | None | Preservation, ODEs (GDEmu, MODE) | | CDI | Compressed (~700MB) | ❌ Downgraded video/audio | Lossy or missing | Stripped | CD-R burning (older optical drives) | | CHD (Dreamcast) | Compressed (~400–700MB) | ✅ Perfect | Uncompressed | Lossless | Emulation (Redream, Flycast) | Which option do you want
Key takeaway: For accuracy, preservation, and ODE usage → GDI is the gold standard.
The "Discoveries" cutscene audio is famously corrupt on early CDI rips. A Redump GDI has flawless audio synchronization.
