VMU (possibly broken?) issues
Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2022 4:31 pm
hey all - i have an old green VMU i've used for ages, but recently, it kinda went dead - like, if it's plugged in, not only is it not recognized in the system's memory card screen, it also deadens the controller itself.
fearing the worst, i tried what little i know the other day - cleaned the contacts, popped it open for new batteries & lo and behold, it let me set the date and i could see stuff on it! ...but plugging it b back in gave the same results. i tried other controllers as well.
at one point it started beeping on & off (maybe the batteries aren't in good contact? i should clean those ends as well) but i'm not sure if any of that's related or not.
any ideas here? any means of possibly getting whatever data is on there off/transferred? i swear, that VMU 2 can't come quick enough for me.
