The process is summarized in the diagram below, which we will talk through in more detail. "I replaced all the Japanese texts one by one by the English texts from the US Shenmue files to Shenmue NTSC-J version (texts + Japanese audio voice). Rather than attempting to use a set of English subtitle files to go with the Japanese audio files, instead the Japanese subtitle files were used - but the subtitle text inside the files was updated to English content, leaving the rest of the file structure intact. This second Shenmue Undub was created by user Kogami independently of the earlier version, and its release was announced in February 2014. These problems were resolved just a few months later in a separate Undub version that was put together using a similar but extended technique. It turned out that mixing the audio files from the Japanese Shenmue directly with the subtitle files from an English version would lead to issues since internally their structures did not correspond exactly.
