Transferring Sega Dreamcast VMU Files onto PC
Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2007 4:29 am
This is a long shot but there's no harm in asking. I'm trying to back up the files on my VMUs - CvS2 Replay Mode saves, mostly - before i delete them to make room for more. My old way of doing it was to get online using the Dreamcast Web Browser CD, then attach the files to an email and send it to myself. There's a (detachable) dail-up modem on the back of the console.
Well, that doesn't work anymore because Earthlink usernames now include the "@earthlink.net" bit. Most ISPs and web hosts started doing it too. For whatever reason, the DC We Browser has a limit on the number of characters allowed in usernames. Of course the "@earthlink.net" bit doesn't fit. Yahoo and Hotmail don't support POP3 access unless you give them money. I could probably create a short enough email address using my own domain name, but i'm wondering if there's another way.
Apparently this guy kefka_8dragons programmed a custom Personal Data Uploader in CGI-Perl. Unfortunately it didn't make it out of 2001 alive, and both links are now dead. I found the help file on the Internet Archive but the script files themselves are long gone.
Does anyone here have them?
