Thanks, where i can download your demo, i want to write a text
editor/browser for my next exams.

The nexus is a memory card like the standard VMU but without the screen
and buttons and comes in varrious flavours, 4x, 8x, 16x.

As well as just being yet another large memory card it has a special
connection which using the special nexus cable can connect to your PC.

The makers of the nexus supply the software to upload and download
files to and from this setup from their web site.

which i 4get, try www.levelsix.com

I'm pretty sure that the .tar.gz you have is the source code to the assembler,
which won't be much use to you, unless you've already got a gcc setup.

What you want, is John Maushammer's windows port of aslc - this can be found on
his site (along with lots of other useful info) ~
http://www.maushammer.com/vmu.html

If you have any other problems, I suggest you have a read of the faq, which has
a good chance of answering at least some of them.  It's url is included in the
footer of all the mails on this mailing list

Hi, I am new to this group and I need the VMU assembler, so I was
wandering if anyone who has it could send it as an attachment to my e-
mail which is Lcysmooth@... thanx in advance.

The VMU2PC-djgpp is not much more than a compilation of the
VMU2PCAlphaRelease using the DJGPP cross-compiler under linux, so you
don't have to do that.

The software you use is the correct one. You won't see any communication on
your oscilloscope until the initial handshake:

The PC sets pin 6 of the VMU to 1 (3.3V).

If the VMU is ready (display shows "WAITING FOR DATA") it responds by
setting pin 11 to 0.

The communication now starts, you can find more info on
<http://soeren.infoserv.de/vm/vm2vm.html>.

Now some wild guesses what your problem could be:

You have to connect pins 1 and 14 on the VMU.
Pin 1 is the rightmost pin when holding the VMU as if you are playing.
Try setting your parport to SPP in the BIOS setup.
I have read about incompatible parports on Pentium-II/III mainboards, if
possible try an old ISA parport card.

Sören

After spending about 1 year developing on the nintendo gameboy (as a
display for data acquisition systems), I recently gained intereset in
the VMU. Software development/emulation works nicely: congratulations
for this.
I then bought one VMU last week, installed the parallel port connexion
as described in http://www.maushammer.com/vmu.html#VMU2PC
and tried sending tetris.vms to the actual hardware. No luck :(
I just checked on the oscilloscope if anything is happening on the
parallel port (0x378, LPT1): I cannot see any signal variation.
So I assume I am not using the right software for programming the
VMU through the parallel port.
VMU2PCAlphaRelease.zip will not work for me as it is compiled
to run under windows only (I only have a DOS/Linux box running).
I suppose I have to understand how to cross compile to DOS from
Linux DJGPP, but I have never tried that.
I used the software by Soren (VMU2PC-djgpp, cross-compiled throught
DJGPP): this is the one that does not seem to be communicating with
the parallel port, even though I precise -t 0x378 or -t LPT1.
Can you confirm if I am using the right software, or otherwise which
version I should use for VMU/PC communication through the parallel
port ?
Thank you, Jean-Michel FRIEDT (friedtj@...)

Hello.

Well, after a little more than two weeks of programming, plus countless
nights of playing with my Chao in "Sonic Adventure" and analyzing their
data, I can finally present you my new and improved VMU Chao Editor. ;)
You can get it at

         http://www.franken.de/users/deco/myfiles/editor.html

The editor can be used right on your VMU, and is by far the most
sophisticated tool to modify a Chao that's available at the moment (brag
brag).  You can set basically everything your heart desires: Type, Color,
Stats, Inventory, Animal Mods, Affection, and lots more, all done with
easy-to-understand text menus.  And best of all, you can even create
'Second Evolution' Chao, like for example a fully-developed NiGHTS or
Sonic Chao.

So everyone who likes those little critters from "Sonic Adventure" and
thinks this little tool might be useful, please check it out and spread
the news. ;)

C'mon, _someone_ must have any use for it, surely?  It was so hard to
write that menu system...

Bye


Alessandro

Subject: [vmu] Web Upload Download Scripts?

Hi,

 

I'm looking to setup a database not unlike Booyaka, as it seems to be one of the only ones, and I would like to allow users to upload both from PC and DC (seaparate upload places I assume), and download from DC, and PC if possible. Does anyone know of any prewritten code which can be modified to upload these from a DC, as to upload them from a PC I guess that you just use the normal upload fields for anything.

 

Is there any documentation or prewritten scripts out there which I can use?

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Jey Biddulph

Here's what (I guess) you'd need

1) cgi script to handle the upload of .dci files from a PC - this should,
ideally save the .dci file, available for PC download, and also convert the
.dci into a .vmi/vms pair available for DC download

2) cgi script to handle the upload of data from a DC - this should convert
the data into .dci and .vmi/vms


If you're webserver supports compiled C programs as cgi, then you could
modify my vmux program to do the file conversion [source @
http://vmudev.dcemulation.com/ ] - that can convert .dci <-> .vmi/.vms




However, Loren Peace (creator of Booyaka, and the PSO image snapshot
converter) has already got working scripts for doing all of this.  Perhaps
he might be willing to give you copies of his code.  Are you still out there
Loren?

--

I just found an old post from Loren to a different list, so I'll reproduce
the info he game there:

--

> Oh yeah.  Can anyone give me info on how the upload from the dreamcast
> browser works (for both dreamkey and planetweb)?

I can't comment about dreamkey, but here's the deal for planetweb:

first your web page needs a form like this

<FORM METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="upload.cgi">
<INPUT TYPE="VMFILE" NAME="VMUDATA" VALUE="None">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Upload">
</FORM>

The value you will get for the VMUDATA parameter is a line of attributes
followed by 2 line breaks and then the data in a shifted base64 encode.

The attributes look like this
filename=BOOYAKA.LOG &fs=1536&bl=3&tp=0&fl=0&of=0&tm=200006301201345
filename is obviouse, fs is file size in bytes, tm is the date on the
file in year(4)month(2)day(2)hour(2)minute(2)second(2)dayofweek(1) format,
bl is the number of VMU pages used; tp,fl,of have been zero for me so
far, so I'm not sure about them.

The rest of the upload is the base64 encoded file, first you must remap
the data sent to their proper base64 values, attached is a perl hash that
maps the letter used by PlanetWeb to the real one used in base64.  (If
anyone doesn't know perl here's how to read the hash so you can use it,
left letter is what appears in the upload, it should be replaced by the
letter to the right of the arrow. ) Once you have remapped the data
simple base64 decode it and you have you uploaded save.

For any perl people I have also included a sample upload.cgi that will
upload files and place them in three parts in /tmp
<file-name>
<file-name>.ATTR
<file-name>.ORIG
where file-name is the filename attribute, .ORIG in the non-converted
base64 and .ATTR in the attribute line.

Let me know if I need to clarify anything better.

maps the letter used by PlanetWeb to the real one used in base64.  (If
anyone doesn't know perl here's how to read the hash so you can use it,
left letter is what appears in the upload, it should be replaced by the
letter to the right of the arrow. ) Once you have remapped the data
simple base64 decode it and you have you uploaded save.

For any perl people I have also included a sample upload.cgi that will
upload files and place them in three parts in /tmp
<file-name>
<file-name>.ATTR
<file-name>.ORIG
where file-name is the filename attribute, .ORIG in the non-converted
base64 and .ATTR in the attribute line.

Let me know if I need to clarify anything better.

There's been a GBA scene since before the system came out.
There were even emulators of the system from before it came out! I dont
remember where it is, but there was a nice site with some information and
demos to download for GBA. I think you can find the link on zophar.net

Errr.... This wasn't very VMU releated so.......

------------------------

[Plug:]
My mac VMU utility program, MacVMUtil has been updated to version 1.2.1
This version fixes a bug which caused the VMI verify to freeze if a backup
VMI already existed, and it also fixes a bug in the DCI to VMS convertor
which causes the file size in the VMI to be incorrectly reported. The
program hadn't been updated since Augest, so I thought it would be a good
time to update it. :-P
Unless there's other programs I dont know about, this should still be the
most complete VMU program of any OS. It converts to and from nexus
formats, and allows you to verify and edit VMI files all in one program.
http://www.emulationzone.org/projects/sonicblur/vmutil/

I don't belive there is. There's prolly not enough of us around to make a
channel worthwhile, however, you can find me on IRC every other night or
so (kinda depends on how much homework I have, etc.) on the Open Projects
IRC Network (irc.openprojects.net) as 'antigrav' in #aclug, #sdl and
somtimes other channels. We could make a #vmudev channel if anyone is
interested.

Damn, Is there already a scene for the GBA? I must be out of the loop.

Hi, I'm a newbie in VMU development. hehe.
I don't have a DC, but already made the needed connectors, so I can upload
with the PC's parallel port.
I prolly make 1 simple game and then throw the thing away ;) (As GBA is much
cooler)

And I don't have questions yet.
well, just one... is there an IRC channel for VMS dev'ing ?

D.F.

you should be able to just email it back to the DC and resave it to the VMU

or if you want to post it on a webpage for download you'll need to generate
VMI & VMS for it

check that faq out, for now.. coz i'm on my wait to bed

I sent my PC a DC save through e-mail. It came over as a .dat file.
Does anyone know how to make it back into the correct DC format so I
can download again?
It's a PSO level 73 HUmar and I dont want to lose him.
Please, any help would be nice.
