He he... thanks for advertising my Sonic fanpage. :)

You might be happy to hear that I have just finished documenting most of
the new Chao Data used in Sonic Adventure 2 (took me more than two dang
_weeks_ to find it all out).  Right now, I can create all types of Chao
imaginable (even an OmoChao or Egg Chao), set its age, stats, color,
abilities (both learned in school and gained through animals), toys, race
badges, even the Love/Hate Level the Chao has for each character (a high
Love Level means that the Chao will react to the character's whistling and
run over to him - it's really cool). ;)  There still seems to be a lot
missing concerning the Chao's personality and behavior, but I guess I have
enough to write an average editor.

Hopefully I will have a working SA2 Chao Editor in a few weeks... alas I'm
still not not quite sure how to prevent the SA2 game from overwriting the
editor with the Chao Adventure data every time a Chao is released into the
garden.  Any ideas from you people here?

BTW, if there are any other Sonic gamers around, does anyone know what
extra ability the raccoon animal gives a Chao? :)

1 |-|Ave 2 suggestions:

1- Maybe you should r3ad the message next time
2- Maybe y0u shouldn't respond if all you ca|\| c0me up \/\/ith is a
generic responce.

You can see at these pictures that what I am talking about is true too!

P|eze, dont respond without anything useful. We have ad already.





For anyone who know's what I'm doing wrong. please check out these
pictures:
http://ssrg.emulationzone.org/sblur/vmutil/iconview/

This is the problem I'm having. I re-wrote the icon loader yesterday, and
am still having the same problem. Is there something I'm supposed to do
with higher value colors, or does It appear I'm doing everything right
and perhaps my program is converting the data into color incorrectly?
After looking it over, It appears that could be the case, but I'm not
sure why. Anyway, I'd thought I'd ask before I mess with it some more,
just to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

I have 2 sugestions:

1- Maybe you are getting the wrong adress of the icon.
2- Maybe they ARE white. :)

You can see at Marcus' Tetris that the second half of his pallete is white too!

Plz, give me an exact description of what your program do.

I finally got around to trying to write a VMS icon viewer....
But I'm not having luck, so I thought I might ask.

I've followed the documents Marcus wrote on how the icons work. Using
that, I wrote something simple to display a VMU icon in a window....
Some Icons, such as the Sonic Adventure Y2K download display just fine,
but others, such as the Sonic Adventure Christmas download have white for
some colors. On the Sonic Adventure christmas download, the tree ends up
white. I assumed I did something wrong, so I decided to make it draw the
palette on the screen too. The palette shows white in places for no
reason either.
Then I decided to look at the palettes in my hex editor. The program I
wrote appears to be loading them correctly, because I've got colors that
show up as green, yellow, pink, etc. as almost all white (FF FE FF FE) as
an example. How does the dreamcast get anything out of these colors? Am I
doing something wrong, or is there something special I need to load them?

As I said before, some Icons are ok and load all their colors, but others
have white'ish color where there should normally be a solid color.  Any
suggestions, or did I make a mistake in my program that's causing this?

im off the list,i dont need advertisements..
i came for some vmu development help,instead
i get ads...later people.

since we are posting ads now,come to the
REAL vmu dev group that is ACTUALLY doing
something useful for the dreamcast netsurfer,
and not just for a bunch of nerds on PC that
could give a damn whether or not you have
something useful to look forward to besides
a bunch of emails with "insider" talk that
you dont understand. on this list we actually
offer vmu files that convert into email forms,
html editors,ftp clients,loading demo games
from your browser instantly at anytime you
choose without going thru the hoops on the
cd,ALL dont thru your vmu,these are vmu to
browser generated files.....LOL who needs a

Test... ignore... using this one since it's all so quiet anyway...:)

hi,i have a group similar to this one
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/consolebrowsers we focus on developing vmu html
editors,email,editors,ftp tools etc that all load to the dc screen via the
vmu,we have many items that are already in use here
http://angelfire.com/games3/pwvmu/ they only can be accessed via a planetweb
browser,which brings me to this question. How do I make it so a dreamkey or
dreampassport user can download saves just as the planetweb users can? and also
how do i make it so ican upload my completed work via a dreamkey or passport
browser? i dont have a pc nor access to one. om doing all this from my dreamkey
and passsport browsers and planetweb browser. i think i need cgi scripts but am
not sure. if someone on this list has the items i need to make this work,i would
greatly appreciate their offering them for use. if you would like to see those
vm files above in use,just load up a planetweb browser and follow the directions
on the page for making them work.

I have put it in the vmu-dev programs folder here on egroups.

feel free to do anything you want with any of the code gfx etc.

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

You have to construct your own char table as u can not acces the built

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@...)
