Help needed accessing the arcade games!

[Kak]

Back when Yakuza: Like a Dragon was released, there was an issue where some of the game's store listing didn't come with any ROMs for the arcade games, which meant the minigames basically didn't exist for many people.

I'm not sure how many people this affects, but I for one have had this same problem with Infinite Wealth (Spike Out etc).

The fix that fans made last time was having someone who had the ROMs in their game files share them for others to download and drop into their files. I'd like to see if I (and a kind helper with the ROM files) can put a fix together before SEGA inevitably takes weeks to patch it themselves.

Unfortunately I don't know exactly where the ROMs are supposed to be, but if it's anything like the previous game they should be in this minigame folder: https://imgur.com/fkhxdeA

So, if anyone has anything I don't in their minigame folder, could they please host it somewhere so that I can download it and try out a fix? If it turns out to be a solution, I would appreciate the help.

I would also be interested in knowing if there is anyone who is able to play the arcade games but has the exact same minigame folder content as I do, so I can narrow down what might be missing.

As far as I see, the number of folders on my minigame's folder it's pretty similar to yours.
Although arcade and original minigame are called as "minigame", the SEGA arcade game files actually is not as same path as other minigame's folder,
You might wanna take a look the SEGA arcade game files on "../././LikeADragon8/runtime/media/pre3/"

As you requested, here I drop my LAD:IW minigame and SEGA arcade game files:

I hope the devs gonna fix your issue soon.

I see, thanks for looking into it! Unfortunately your Dropbox link doesn't seem to be working at the moment (Error 400), but if that fixes itself or there's an alternative I can see if that's the fix. I do have some files in my pre3 folder, but perhaps not all of them.

Update: Never mind on the link not working, Steam was redirecting me incorrectly!

Weirdly, we have the exact same contents for both files. Unless there are some other files we don't know about, I guess the issue might not be that the ROMs are missing but more that they don't work on my settings? I'll experiment with some things like DLSS or overclocking later.
