VMU Backup CD v1.0.0 Released

[bucanero]

Hello!

Well, I'm back from the grave!... Over a year has passed without doing any development for the mighty Dreamcast!

So I'm posting this thread to let everybody knows that I've just released my new "VMU Backup CD"!

I guess you're asking "and what is it?"... in short, its the greatest VMU save collection ever made! (what a humble definition, uh? )

But its not just +3000 vmu saves for over 300 DC games, because everything is packed with this pretty neat VMU app that I´ve coded specially for this disc, so you can browse all the games, see all the saves and read the description of each save.

Screenshots: http://sourceforge.net/project/scree...group_id=99309

So, go and grab this selfboot CDI (made with Padus DiscJuggler 4.1) and have fun!

Well, I prefer to work and then to talk. Not viceversa.
Anyways, it was a bit more than a month of work, until I got it just like I wanted to be.

btw, not related to this topic, but fackue's DC help site its pretty good! I was looking for some info about scrambling bin's and other stuff and your site had the right answer.

Heheheh, you see, sometimes dreams come true! :P
To be honest, I made this app because I wanted to have all the DC saves available anytime, without having to connect to the Net and use a DC web browser to download a single vmu file.

Thank you very much - this is sooooo awesome!

DCEvo's images are awesome too! Feel free to post a link to my files in your site if you want. If you want to create a custom disc, my app is available for download at sourceforge, source code & unscrambled binaries.

Thanks a lot for posting it on the main page of DCEmu!

btw, can you check the links? because the sourceforge.net links at the main page are not working. I think that maybe after copy&pasting my post the links got broken somehow.

About the DC coder rank, just take your time, as long as I can post my work in the forums of this great site, everything is fine!

thanx again, c ya!

Your question reminds me that I forgot to tell something about this CD:

The disc contains all the saves available at dreamcast.planetweb.com (PlanetWeb's VMU archive), and it also contains all the saves available at www.dreamcastcn.com (Jeff.Ma's rare Jap saves and more)

So, in case you're wanting to add some save file from either of those sites, I´ve to tell you that those files are already in the CD.

But, in any case, the app is totally customizable, if anyone wants to add a game, just edit GAMELIST.TXT and add a line like this:

GAMEDIRNAME=Some Game Description

then, create a directory GAMEDIRNAME, and inside of it you'll have to create/edit SAVELIST.TXT and add as many lines as you need, in this format:

EXAMPLE.VMI=This is the description for this vmu save file.

That's all... you can add as many games and as many saves as you want.

I hope this info is usefull for everyone who wants to customize this app.

greetz!

Sorry to tell u but there is a lot of perfect saves missing (like cleared for Tennis 2K2 and Virtua Tennis 2, Le Mans 24H with all cars, Action Replay with 423 game codes, Propeller Arena, NEO CD Emu and more). U can once more update save collection with saves stored on www.blueswirl.fr.st (maybe Speud can make rar file with all saves stored on his site?), http://www.booyaka.com/games/vmu/saves.fcgi and get some mine perfect saves from ( http://members.lycos.co.uk/dreamplay...pav_vmivms.rar [1.12mb])

This rar file cointains all codes for DC games - U can add this file to ARCDX Dir: http://members.lycos.co.uk/dreamplay.../pav_codes.rar

ps. delete all bleem! files - its one big fake

btw. there was in past a greatest site with saves and only with it: www.dreamsaves.de / www.gamesaves.de - maybe some1 has sotred saves from this site or know BigRib - site webmaster...
