Playing Shenmue II with a VGA

Can anyone tell me which boot disc to use to play an European version
of Shenmue II on an American DC with a Performance VGA? I have searched
for this topic and still not sure which boot disc (Utopia, Gameshark
etc) will play with the performance vga. I did get my DC on 9-9-99. I
was also thinking of getting the Euro version of Headhunter, does one
boot disc work for both games? Thanks for any help!!!

I'm not sure about the compatibility with the Performance VGA, but the
"DC-X" boot disc has an option for VGA output. I *know* it boots with
HeadHunter, as I have it(not sure on Shenmue II, though I'd assume it
would).

No; the DC-X will allow Shenmue II to play on a TV but not on a VGA; the
Gameshark will allow Shenmue II to play on a VGA but not on a TV. I have
yet to hear a good explanation of why this is so, but have done it and
so know it to be true.
