Yes there's a file for skipping the intro movie and sega screen on the Yakuza 3,4 files page.
Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to skip the intro entirely like I did with Yakuza 6, K2,and LAD. But these files speed up startup by about 6 seconds.
Hi, thank you for your effort. Sega skip works fine but the studio screens and gamepad screen still show, then flash of green lines. Files were installed manually to proper paths.
Hi, That was entirely my fault. Your description was very clear. My mind assumed it included the dev screens. Thank you for the attempt. I don't look at the screen until it's on the menu so I don't mind. The whole reason I care at all is even with silent patch I have to close the game every 60-90 minutes or it stutters, which also means closing before any story advancing so stuttering does not begin during long cut scenes. So instead of seeing it once a play session I have to see it multiple times.
You should try using Special K to see if it can fix the stuttering, I've been using it with all the Yakuza Games (mainly for the borderless window features). Make sure "Enable Small Memory Leaks To Prevent Crashing" is checked.
I've been using Version 21.10.08 because it is the last version to support Steam Input (I like to fiddle around with steam input controller configurations)
Hi, thank you so much again. I never came across that tool even when searching for solutions. I will definitely be testing it out. I also tend to mess with steam input stuff, as it has come a long way since I started using DS4s and switch pros on pc 8 years ago. Thank you for all your effort.
Ah I see, I never used that program before, I just took a look and.usm files aren't supported by that program. You will have to install advertise.usm and CI_us.usm the old fashioned way(make sure to create backups)
However, the Hide Substory Icons portion of the mod WILL work with Ryu Mod Manager, just tested it myself. I added it as an optional file. It wasn't working before because the program saw there were .usm files present and it rejected the entire folder.

I also see those studio screens and gamepad screen.
However, I do use this mod to save my eyes a little.
Dark Mode Sega Sound Logo (Yakuza 5)
Edit: I will now attempt to make an alternate version of this mod to skip EVERYTHING.
If I succeed I will update this mod.
Edit #2: Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to completely skip intro movies.

Hopefully that helps you out.
-Copy(allow overwrite) CI_us.usm to Yakuza 5/main/data/mvstm
-Copy(allow overwrite) advertise.usm to Yakuza 5/main/data/mvstm
-Copy(allow overwrite) map_cmn.par to Yakuza 5/main/data/map_par_hd
I'm using the Ryu Mod Manager to install the files.

Hope this helps, enjoy.
