yeah blueswirl.fr.st still exists thankfully...yet on my dreamcast
every link I click (for a save or toerwise says "404,please contact
planetweb"

I saw the "open-source vmu uploader" link on another site,clicked and
joined the VGSO group,then joined here to ask my question (also I have
two yahoo accounts,so it might look like my original question got
answered here but unanswered on VGSO...more or less I have one I use
for the dc with a short y! pass and the other for pc/and well here)

anyhow I saw the "beta" uploader and wanted some help on it...since
planetweb did recently shut out all of thier dreamcast stuff (pimaraly
the "tools.planetweb.com vmu ftp uploader") It seems few places even
still have anything to do with the dreamcast,even in 2002 I called
ebgames about a nextus card and a link cable to the pc...and they tell
me "Dreamcast? uh dude...we quit carrying that stuff and sold
everything in the bargin bin like 2 years ago...Sega's out of biz. go
use ebay"

and no offensive or anything but I'm not 100% safe with online buying
(especially with ebay)...it's almost the same as you said about a file
getting corrupted

BUT that's not the thing I'm getting that,the thing I'm getting that
is I've tried yahoo (both in the files area of groups and emailing
myself the vmu "files") as well as hotmail (through blueswirl's "Hail"
or Hotmail-Lite,very good but through Hail I've sent myself about 5
emails,each with a save or mutiple saves attached...on pc when I
login...there's nothing,and I'm not blocking myself for spam,lol)

but it seems there needs to be some sort of browse button in the file
manager...and used either through email or a dc-compatible site(I
think one that allows .htaccess files and mime control types or
something...so I've heard)

blueswirl.fr.st and gamefaqs are the two places I know that have
dreamcast saves...but I through through the internet...even with my
old sega vmu of 200k(or 200 pages or whatever) I could help test and
work on the vmu uploader that this(or rather the group that spun off
to THIS) group made...I just need someone to tell me how I put a
"browse" button into the document so it will work with pc files AND
windows one

as I said I've tried hotmail and yahoo,as well as the juno email
account of my own that I use to sign on with the dreamcast...all when
I get to "attachments" via the dreamcast either have no browse button
or like yahoo says:
"Click <b>Browse</b> to select a file to upload. If you do not see the
<b>Browse</b> button, your browser does not support file uploading."

I'm using the Planetweb 2.0 one that came with the dreamcast...and I
guess it doesn't supporting uploading to yahoo...again can anybody
help me out on this

PS: also when I go on the dreamcast into email,it always says try
again later...maybe pop3 email isn't supported anymore on the dreamcast?
