Like most Yakuza games, Yakuza 6 features a number of classic arcade games. One of them is Virtua Fighter 5: Final Shodown and from the looks of it, this is a full console port of the X360 version. And, thankfully, Silent released an unlocker that lets you play the game.
As Silent noted, this version does not contain any DLC data, and attempting to force unlock them softlocks the game. Still, this port actually comes with a proper Exit Game option.
What this ultimately means is that owners of Yakuza 6 can use this unlocker in order to play VF5 without booting Yakuza 6. And, since the PC never got an official version of VF5, it’s the closest thing we’ll ever get to such a thing.
Since this port is based on the X360 version, it only shows X360 gamepad icons. Furthermore, saving doesn’t work and to start the game you’ll have to insert two coins (instead of one).
You can download the unlocker from here. Obviously, you’ll need a full copy of Yakuza 6 or Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Also note that this unlocker works only with their Steam versions.
Have fun!

why play in such absurd conditions if you can emulate it with rpcs3
What if they already have those games? Why would they go out of there way to emulate?
To show the might of the Master Race
What does it mean “does not contain any DLC data”? Is it missing content?
Yes, the DLC.
I figured but what was it? Fighters and stages?
I dunno, maybe it wasn’t included and the game crash or something?
Nice clickbait title. 😉
That’s cool, too bad i don’t care about fighting games, but at the same time it is dumb how SEGA doesn’t capitalize on this and simply port the game to any PC digital game store.
That’s cool and all, but you can emulate the PS3 version (runs and looks great) with all the dumb DLC.
Most people would rather not emulate, given the option.
Or just use TeknoParrot, RPCS3 or Xenia.
