Ok. I have it but what I must to do exactly with txt file?

VMU Backup CD v1.3.0 by El Bucanero, released on 11th August 2005

A new version is ready, and this time with a pretty nice surprise.
The VMU CD now implements the VMU emulator SoftVMS by Marcus Comstedt (ported to KallistiOS by DirtySanchez). With the built-in VMU emulator you'll be able to play VMU minigames on your TV without having to transfer the minigames to a visual memory unit.

Changes:

• VMU emulator SoftVMS implemented
• Added more games and saves
• 60 mini games available
• 350 games listed with over 3200 saves

Download it from my site www.bucanero.com.ar / SourceForge.net (DiscJuggler image, Nero image, binaries & source code available)

Hi.

Thank you very much for the Release. But it's not working with my PAL/EUR-DC (Just a black Screen)

Yes. Its not working. The prob will be fixed and bucanero will inform u when it comes.

UPDATE: I've fixed the .CDI image!
I did a clean rebuild, then made a .ISO with MKISOFS and then just "BIN2BOOT vmucd.iso /nohack". I burned the disc, tried it on my Dreamcast and worked perfectly. yeah!
Again, sorry for any inconvenience and wasted CDs

Please post if everything works fine or not, I don't want to screw many DC fans again.

Ok. Thanks did You insert VMS emulator by Marcus in your bin? If yes so maybe you can insert psx cheating util into bleem to make best psx emulator more comfortable (playing with codes). What do you say?

Secondly - i tried few times bin2boot on ISO image and it cant convert it. I used commands:

mkisofs -C 0,0 -l -v -o data.iso -V CDLABEL data

bin2boot data.iso /nohack

I can burn plain files in nero (mode 1) on cd-rw and rip it to bin/cue in Alcohol but this operations takes a lot of time :/

No, I did not insert the SoftVMS binary inside my own code, I've got the emulator source code and mixed it with my own VMU CD source code, so the emulator was compiled and linked at the same time with my Vmu CD.

about bin2boot, are you refering to selfboot DC homebrew ISOs, right?

First you have to be sure that the HOMEBREW.BIN is scrambled, unscrambled binaries won't work as selfboot. Also you've to create a IP.BIN pointing to the right .BIN file (1ST_READ.BIN for example)

the command I used for MKISOFS:

mkisofs -V SOME_LABEL -l -o data.iso datadir

then: bin2boot data.iso /nohack
(the "nohack" is because only original katana binaries need to be hacked to a new LBA)

I hope it helps and works for you!
c ya!
