I'm eagerly looking for a way to backup (and restore of course) my VMU saves to PC. I used to use Double Power (http://www.hkems.com/product/dc/dc-dp.htm) for this, but the software is crappy and refuses to work on my current PC setups. After a futile quest for alternative software (http://dreamcasthistory.com/dreamcasting2/viewtopic.php?t=1941), I'm now trying to utilize my newly acquired BBA for this.
I understand that VMUTool (0.7.0 by speud (http://bswirl.kitsunet.org/vmutool/index.php?lg=en) or 0.5.4 by bucanero (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=99309&package_id=106493)) is up to the task. I also understand that to get the PC connection to work, you have to upload the tool via dc-tool from the PC instead of booting it from Dreamcast CD.
Got this all working so far. But when I select a save in VMU tool and start the transfer to PC, nothing ever appears on the PC end. With VMU Tool 0.5.4 I get an error like
Copying (/vmu/a1 -> /pc/vmutool) Name: OOGA___BOOGA ... Error! on the PC end. With 0.7.0 I get no error, still no files transferred.
What did I miss? Any help is much appreciated...
I'm using Linux with dc-tool-ip 1.0.3 on the PC, with a command line like
dc-tool-ip-1.0.3-linux -t 192.168.0.22 -x ~/Desktop/vmutool.elf
