Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown Unlocker
Last update: April 19, 2021
Turns VF5FS arcades into a full console game.
This page is for the in-game unlocker. For a standalone executable, check out Yakuza Arcade Machines Player.
This plugin for Yakuza 6 and Yakuza: Like a Dragon modifies in-game Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown arcades to boot into a previously hidden console mode instead of the arcade mode. This enables users to play a nearly complete Xbox 360 version of Virtua Fighter 5, natively on PC!
The plugin does not modify Virtua Fighter 5 in any way – what you see is exactly how the shipped game works. At the moment I don’t plan to address any of the game’s shortcomings in this plugin.
Known issues and shortcomings
- Saving doesn’t work
- To start the game, coins must be inserted twice (Y/Triangle on the gamepad)
- English texts are cut off, as this build of VF5FS seems to be a Japanese SKU with English texts
- Pause menu is tricky to access and resuming the game does not unfreeze gameplay
This plugin only works with the Steam version of the game!
