Code for using Savefile Icons and VMU LCD

Post by Protofall »

I've noticed a lot of people on Dreamcast servers asking how to make Savefiles with icons/eyecatchers and also display VMU LCD Icons and the code needed to load and use them. For a while now I've had a demo that does this using my own Crayon library (Currently private since its too young and changes a lot right now). So recently I decided to made a version of it that detaches itself from the main library. Below is a link to the program, it includes the Crayon-Savefile sub-library that is able to save and load uncompressed savefiles, detect valid VMUs for saving/loading and also displaying VMU LCD Icons. I believe it will compile just fine if you already have KOS installed, no extras needed.

You can find some tools used to make these Savefile/VMU Icon formats in this repository:

This code wouldn't have been possible without other posts from this forum and also some hints from CrabEmu's savefile code. :grin:

You can use the code from the example in any way you want, so no need to worry about legal stuff. Enjoy!
