Double Power Unit OR Memory Card That Can Link to Computer?
Does anyone know where I could get a Dreamcast Double Power Unit or a memory card that can be hooked up to the computer (I have a cable that will apparently work, so preferably without the cable)? Thanks in advance.
If not, is there any other way I can transfer saves to my computer?

Uhm, no you don't.mrooobaa wrote:Well that could work, but I need a cable or something to do it with.Smurph wrote:Host a webserver and use the upload script.
Of course, this assumes you have Cable internet.
1.) Host the server (configured properly for DC files) with teh script.
2.) Dial Up with your DC, and access your webserver.

Lik-sang has it: link. In my opinion, it's well worth the money. With this, you don't have to be confined to a single card as you are with the Nexus. You can use any card with Double Power. Also, it's nice to be able to backup all of your data so quickly.

I got my double power at a local Gamestop for about $3. Just remember that a double power does not simply transfer files from one vmu to another. It makes an exact copy of the saves on 1 vmu to the other. Hence, I am still looking to find a replacement save file for my Record of Lodoss War...

It will do individual file copying from VMU to VMU, but you have to do it from the PC.
It works like this:
To copy an entire VMU to another blank VMU, plug both VMUs into the unit and hit the red button on top. That's all there is to it.
To do it via PC, plug in both VMUs and the PC 25-pin parallel port cable to the Double Power unit and then load the PC application "DC Linker 2.3b"
It'll look like this:
This utility is really handy because can you not only transfer saves with a simple drag / drop, but you can also load saved memory cards into the virtual memory card below and drag / drop them individually. On top of that, it also have a built in save editor so you can easily add special characters to your names / edit the maximum pool online save.

You can get the coders-cable at Lik-Sang and many other places like Play-Asia.com. The coders cable is not illegal, it's very handy and you can use it to run many other tools like MP3 players, demos, games and of course, code your own dreamcast software.mrooobaa wrote:Hmm, I know that the BBA is really expensive, but where could I get a Coders-Cable? If it's illegal or something of the sort then nevermind.
