Problem with VMU transfer via coder's cable

[magicrat]

Hey everyone....

Got my coder's cable up and running using Serial Load and Tera Term for backing up my GD-Roms. Have successfuly dumped about 5 games now without any hickups.

Though the next step for me would be to clean out my 2 VMU's. Did plenty of forum searches and software downloads, but can't seem to get any of them working. I'll explain further.

Tried DC-Tool GUI v2.0 with DCload 1.03 and tried an upload and execute with the following bin/elf files (restarted DC and PC program after failed attempts)
obs-vor1.bin
vmu_070.bin
vmu_066.bin
vmufrog.bin
Progress stays at 1 bar and doesn't budge. (leave for 10 mins even overnight for one). DCload just says Recieving data... (00000000/00032d0c) and nothing else (the 32d0c changes for different files).

Tried the same with the DOS based DC-tool with dc-tool -x file.bin
Also threw in -t COM1 and -b 115200 and -b 57600 but still get a stale mate.

When I try a link test in DC-Tool GuI i get the following output:

OUTPUT:> File format is elf32-shl, start address is 0x8c010040
OUTPUT:> Section .text, lma 0x8c010000, size 125440

Hope someone can help, or recommened another way around this.

Can't go the modem route, so please don't suggest this, And I want to remove the saves from the VMU not put any on there.
