Sorry to busy with working on the site side of things

I need to take time out to play my Dreamcast

But yeah downloads are fine, if anyone has probs with unraring, make sure you have the latest winrar, otherwise it might act like they're corrupt.

ok well i'm playing with it now and i must say it's very good.

at first the menus/buttons are a bit confusing but once you figure out what's going on everything's great. it looks good, and appears to work very well. i like the vmu icon feature thats very nice. an excellent release well done

thanks

if i may make a suggestion for a future release, maybe the option of putting a text file with the same filename as the vmu save in the same directory as the save, with a short description of the save. as its a little confusing when you have more than one save for the same game on a cd.

you can already enter a description of your file in the VMI

use my VMI editor here: http://bswirl.kitsunet.org/vmieditor/

oops i managed to crash the options screen, but you did say its a little buggy

yer thats something i mentionned in the readme, but it would have delay the release once more if i really took time to fix this bug that i noticed after i made the final changes. anyway thats the only place where it crashes from my first tests, and you dont need to go in options too often anyway

i got the vmu files list to freeze once too :-/

Sorry to busy with working on the site side of things

nevermind, i thought you tested it

heh i realised the vmi header contains the info after i posted the message doh! that vmi editor is really useful too, easier than using a hex editor

we were discussing the thought of Sanchezs Vmoo and this VMU Tool combiining to make a fantastic vmu emu that can have so many features

btw if youre in touch with dirty sanchez you can tell him im waiting for him to contact me, i too am impatient to get a VM emu with a file selector.

if he his too busy or changed his mind i could try to port marcus' emu by myself but that would require lot of work dirty sanchez already did and probably better that i would, so that would be a waste.

also by implementing the extra icon editor LCD display i thought it would be quite feasable to draw the emulated frames on the VM screen in real time, thats a feature i would really love to see for a VM emu on DC.
