Re: [DCBG] More VMU Question(s)
ok,aside from emailing (which I have tried with my PlanetWeb 2.0
browser at various hours via different server names,etc.....well ok
basicly I can STILL not get it to respond when I go into the PW 2.0
menu>email>and I always get a error...no matter what
service,server,etc.
however if anyone can assist me on that it would help...basicly I'm
just trying to mail myself my own vmu saves on yahoo or my hotmail
account or well otherwise :\
now the whole reason I posted this to begin with,is since planetweb
went down...and I'm not really sure if the saves on my personal
portland website (I did manage to upload .vmi's and .vms's thanks to
planetweb's tools...but that was a year ago) and now I'm trying to
find out if there's either A) a site or some script or something that
works with pc and dreamcast browsers...and if possible has a "browse"
button so I can hit browse,then just select the files from the vmu,hit
upload and boom!
or B) a dreamcast-compatible ftp/web file transfer thing...that can
upload vmu saves (or any files from the vmu...such as game saves,game
settings,etc.) to a website/ftp/online storage place
there used to be a place (from what Google Cache searches say) called
vmu-harddrive.com...however it doesn't exist today
and C) of either a or b to maybe make a vmi or vms or both vmi & vms
file...so far the only thing I have figured out by editing the files I
uploaded with planetweb a year ago is that .VMI files are super small
and like link files...I guess you could compare it to maybe a .url or
a .torrent even
whereas the .VMS is the save data itself,be it of a game or settings
or what
example: my NFL_2K1.vmi is only 108bytes on the pc,yet the NFL_2K1.vms
is 46KB...and according to the dreamcast the NFL 2K1 save itself is 92
VMk(or pages/VMU space)
I'm just trying to learn and help here...so I'm asking questions and
trying to find answers :|
and PS: yes I know it would be alot easier to just go out and hunt
down a place for another vmu...if such a place existed,I don't trust
ebay nor online buying,the only place within 50 miles of me that
doesn't hang up when I call and ask "Do you have any sega dreamcast-"
is a place THAT...still has games...but used and at the same price
they were on retail/launch (think of a "used" sonic adventure game for
$39.99)...and of course I would prefer to find a free way to do
this...and yes portland is a FREE WebHost as is the 10 hours per month
I use with my dreamcast on Juno :P
besides the econo-...ok perhaps I've said enough already :x
