VMU Backup CD v1.2.0

Post by bucanero »

Here's a new version of my VMU Backup CD, released on 15/May/2005.

Change list:

+ Icon display added: Now you can see the VMU icon for each save.
+ More saves added: About 200 new VMU saves included.
+ No more miss-classified saves: Now you'll find only correct saves inside each game title.

I could add a simple vmu manager to the next release, I think its a good idea! Thanks for the suggestion hrb2k! :)

My idea it's not doing a fancy manager, for that you already have the original VMU manager in the DC BIOS, or other tools like VMU Tool. But adding the posibility to list the actual contents of any VMU and to list/delete files should be good enough for the next version. It would be useful if you need space in a VMU to save a file, and want to delete some other files without having to restart the DC and go to the BIOS manager.

About the save regions, AFAIK, there's no info inside the files to know that. But a good option is to look for a save file with the same filename of a save you already have for that game.

For ex: if you have a save for Sonic Adventure called "SONICADV_INT", then you should look for saves in the VMU CD with the same filename.
