Re: The new proposed "VM2" from Chris at DreamMods.net
Anyone able to get the set clock function to retain its values when you shut down the vmu? I'm mostly just wanting to set the dogs to fishes on the clock but it doesn't appear to retain the value. Not sure if that's a bug or how it currently works by design.

Per the manual, the date and time are set when you set the VM2 to GUI mode, connect it to your computer, and then launch the VM2 GUI.Xiden wrote:Anyone able to get the set clock function to retain its values when you shut down the vmu?

I mentioned to Chris having the ability to change the date and time directly on the VM2 itself is a necessary feature, and it's on his backlog of features to implement.

Re: The new proposed "VM2" from Chris at DreamMods.net
got my VM2 today and was wondering.... is there an Archive of 100% *.VMU files anywhere?
I have the VMI/VMS files so I could make them with VMU Explorer but before I go through that laborious process I thought I'd check incase they're already out there in a zip file somewhere.

Dream Explorer has a ton of saves, but it would be a slow going process to upload them to the VMU individually in real time from the disc... They may be stored as files on the disc image, though. I've never looked, but I know they are there in some form.fraggle200 wrote:got my VM2 today and was wondering.... is there an Archive of 100% *.VMU files anywhere?

Re: The new proposed "VM2" from Chris at DreamMods.net
thanks for these but I have them already. was thinking more of 1 *.VMU file per game with a 100% save on it. then it's just a matter of putting them onto the SD Card for the VM2 for the games you want.mistamontiel wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 8:47 am https://www.bucanero.com.ar/dreamcast/

Seems like it might not be out there so.... only 1 thing for it. Looks like I'll need to build them from scratch.

Re: The new proposed "VM2" from Chris at DreamMods.net
Curious if anyone else had this problem, just got mine and have been loving it however when plugging into a PC, its always in "stream-only" even if GUI mode is active (before plugging in), tried different versions of the VM2 Gui, have tried installing the USB drivers and removed them, i have even tried factory resetting the VM2, but even that fails because it can only go into stream-only.
I also tried hard turning it off and draining the batter to see if that would do it but so far nada, any ideas if anyone has come across this?

I've found mine to be a bit temperamental as well when I first got it.itsthinkingstill wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 1:03 am Curious if anyone else had this problem, just got mine and have been loving it however when plugging into a PC, its always in "stream-only" even if GUI mode is active (before plugging in), tried different versions of the VM2 Gui, have tried installing the USB drivers and removed them, i have even tried factory resetting the VM2, but even that fails because it can only go into stream-only.

Have you tried the firmware upgrade? mine wouldn't go into gui mode at all till I done that. I got this GUI https://www.dreammods.net/uploads/2/7/7 ... i_1430.zip then updated the GUI version internally and updated the VM2 fw and it all seemed to work after that.
