Hi,
I have almost no DC or VMU experience, so I've thrown myself into the dark a
bit, but have read all the FAQ's and digests of this list, I have however
hit a problem ...
I have a home-grown web server running on a local PC which the DC can dial
into and be served web pages from, and I have modified it to serve up .VMI
and .VMS minigame files.
Using the PlanetWeb 2.6 browser, all HTML files download okay, as do .VMI
files but once the .VMI has been downloaded, the browser reports "Failed to
download the VMS file". The download progress bar pops-up and gets halfway
across before the failed message appears.
I've used Telnet on the local PC to check the pages are being served up
okay, and that the Content-Type: in the header is correct. MS IE downloads
the files when the file links are clicked on and the downloaded images match
those on the server. I've re-assembled the .S file to recreate the .VMS and
.VMI files so filename cases all match etc, but still no joy.
Attempting to download the .VMS directly causes the PlanetWeb browser to
show a page which says "The document you have chosen contains no HTML etc
etc", and then displays gibberish, as I expected, but gives no error
messages per se.
The VMU in the controller appears to be working fine, and can save and load
game save data from DC games.
Any ideas as to what's going wrong or where to start looking, as the browser
message isn't the most useful error message I've ever seen ?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
