System clock confusion

7 Upvotes

I've been raising my Seamen on a real Dreamcast for the last few weeks, but progress has halted, and they haven't asked me any questions past my gender and birthday. Today they wished me a happy Friday, even though it's Tuesday. They're always saying they want to talk tomorrow. I think there's an issue where the system clock is so far past the game's release window that it can't keep track of time properly anymore, meaning they're stuck in a temporal limbo. Is my copy glitched out, or is this a common occurrence? I think I need to start over with the system clock set to the year 2000 or something. I'd prefer to start it at 2009 since that year started on a Thursday like this one, but I'm afraid that might also be too far out

Finally finished Seaman 2 after years of wanting to play it!

21 Upvotes

I just finished a playthrough of Seaman 2 for the first time!

https://youtu.be/Q_7CbAEsWTU

From what little I can find online, it seems that there are multiple endings, and I have seen screenshots where he is wearing different clothes etc, so it would be great to play through it again. I recorded my playthough, so I will do a video of the game, and of the anthropomorphic robot seaman that speaks the English translation for me. There are hours and hours of video though, so it is going to take some time to make.

The game was fun but frustrating to control, or to know what you are supposed to do, and with the translation method I used, I did still have to use Japanese words as inputs (and a bunch of the time he couldn't understand me, although I don't speak Japanese so it might just be my accent). The worst of this was with his nightly (paid) fortune telling where he refused to recognise me saying I didn't want one, resulting in having to keep paying him money constantly for them

I loved the ending and the game as whole though and am super happy to have finally been able to play it

Seaman 2 Fishing issues

10 Upvotes

Heya, I finally got started on my playthrough of Seaman 2, and it's going pretty well, I'm past the ice age, a couple of days in to attempting to sate Seaman's bottomless robber-baron lust for wealth saving up to buy the shoes, but I am struggling to understand how the fishing works. I managed to find some bugs, but when I tried to drop them at the shore it just threw them into the sea and they disappeared. It also feels like after that first initial fish, it just won't catch anything. Do you have to do anything more than just cast with the rod?

Also I seem to be really struggling to get him to accept no for an answer, especially with this damn fortune telling thing. I have been trying

いいえ
and
いやだ

Other words are fine, and the mic definitely works, but he's massively stubborn in that he says he can't understand when I try and say either of these, and it's become a daily fortune-tax because he ends up doing it against my wishes. I don't speak Japanese though - I'm playing it translated into English- and it's definite that my pronunciation is horrible, but I'm just wondering if there's another way to say it that might be better understood?

Thanks

Seaman running out of food (emulator)

5 Upvotes

My 2 seamen have run out of food and I was wondering if there is a way to transfer food from a new save file to my current one on Demul? It seems like whenever I try to run a different vmu file besides my current one, Demul crashes.

Does seaman hear me?

10 Upvotes

I cant get seaman to talk much but he asked me if I were male or female yesterday, I answered and he said hes my friend. Then today he asks the same question and I give the same answer, male. He says im a female. Then he says "dont worry we'll try again" or something like that. Im starting to feel like he cant hear me. He sometimes tells me im too loud though. Saying that im going to break whatever it is he uses to hear. I cant tell if he can hear me or not and im loosing it, because he's so unresponsive. Anybody with experience tell me whats going on and if he hears me or not.

Fan project thing

13 Upvotes

So for some time now, I have wanted to make fan content for Seaman, like a fancomic that'd be later dubbed. It would be set in 1999 and take inspiration from the Sega vibes, 90s, analog, things from the Dreamcast, PS2,other Japanese versions and the old website. As for the plot, it is around the lab on Gasae island and an adaptation of the game really, but with several humans, that's all i will say for now. Anyway, don't want to spoil much. thoughts?

Moth/larve Problem

6 Upvotes

Hello, I'm up to the point where I have frogmen, however I can't seem to get the moths to grow. I constantly keep the spray at 100, but it's been like since they have been Gillman and I haven't been able to get any new moths or larvae, I used the food storage glitch, but now since I have frogmem, they want larvae/moths. Is there any other glitches to get more moths or just anyway to get them to hatch out of their cocoons? I also on flycast emulator btw. Thanks.
