I've got these two VMUs and they are full. I don't want to lose all my savedata. Is there a way to upload them somewhere or something like this?
you could always get more VMU's they are rather cheep plug 2 into each controller for a total of 8 VMU's and back up the data to other VMU's as far as i understand VMU's are NON-volatile memory and just require the battery for the clock and screen so even if its battery dies your saves should be safe
If you build/buy a sd-card adapter you will be able to transfer VMU saves, along with bios/flash to your SD-Card, for prosperity.
I used to have nexus + cable. I can find the cable now but not the nexus, but that is an option also.
Yeah, the SD cards are a good way to backup your saves. I have a 2x memory card and an official vmu though, 1 I have formatted for Bleem games, and the other Half-Life mod saves. The VMU I use for retail games so I can see the nice lcd graphics. Anyway, if you want to purchase the sd card adapters, I have written up a nice faq and tutorial/review over at Racketboy. http://www.racketboy.com/forum/view...&sid=f1e7bd82aef0543209e499d55aa232ad&start=0 I say get them. I have a 32gb sd card on mine, and it is nice to have an unlimited medium for storing tons of emulators of all types on it. I have over a GB of Snes roms by themselves. Chui just updated almost all his 4all line of emulators to utilize the cards for browsing roms, and saving, so for these, you don't even need a vmu plugged in to save.
The SD would be perfect to me. I've been searching for them locally (someone that has bought a pack of them, etc) but to no avail. You know, I am kinda scared of importing them from China. Who knows if it will really arrive to my country. :/ Is it safe? Thanks for all the input though, guys.
You can find them on ebay too (link posted here, instead of ebay thread, for convenience, I got nothing to do with sellers): http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=sd+dreamcast&_sacat=See-All-Categories
WTF! This dude is trying to rip people off! http://cgi.ebay.com/Sega-Dreamcast-...ssories_JN&hash=item41589368e8#ht_1530wt_1139 As for mine, it arrived here in 2 months and 2 days, snail mail, and cost only $11.14 total. I used Buyfromtaobao.com. There is another guy selling these for $21, free shipping and it will arrive from 7 to 30 days depending on where you live. http://dc-sd.com/ I got mine from taobao, so they are reliable on shipping.
iirc i used the web browser to send and receive files from my vmu to pc... i used to use some site called buyaka idk if its still around.
I used to do this too, before I got ahold of some of the easier methods. Website appears to still be up: http://www.booyaka.com/ but I dunno if it's functional these days. DC isn't handy atm so I can't really check it out right now... It was a great site back in the day and there's some cool info floating around there for people interested in the VMU.
