+# Shenmue 1 & 2 launcher
+This is a customized version of the Shenmue I & II Steam launcher that has been modified to accept sm1 and sm2 as command line arguments.
+It was created to allow end users to be able to create desktop shortcuts for Shenmue 1 and Shenmue 2 that launch directly into the game instead of the launcher.
+
+After the 1.01 patch to the Steam version of the game it was no longer possible to just launch Shenmue.exe and Shenmue2.exe to start the game.
+
+To use:
+Rename the existing launcher and put the custom launcher in its place. Then create a shortcut to steam that launches the app with one of those arguments.
+
+`Steam.exe -applaunch 758330 sm1`
+
+or
+
+`Steam.exe -applaunch 758330 sm2`
