Shenmue F355 VM Operator

So for those who don't know, the Japanese version of Shenmue has an additional feature on its fourth disc (Passport) - an F355 Challenge extra!

There are two articles by Phantom River Stone.

So I imported a copy to test it on my DC. Despite the fact my F355 data is from the PAL version, it still works! Something Phantom River Stone barely mentioned is the final option - the web browser. This is likely due to the fact the site is offline, however it's interesting that this site seems optimised for the Shenmue Passport browser.

I've included photos, if anyone else wants to test out what they can find then the JP Shenmue Passport disc will work with F355 data from any region.
