Dreamcast-Talk.com

To my knowledge, Blueswirl's uploader is down and I can't find another website.

bswirl isn't down for me?! Or is the VMU uploader page down?

Just the uploader page.

You could just back them up to an email account with the browser's email client. Thats what I do. I do the same thing with Saturn too.

Can you use Gmail POP settings?
Also, are there any mail sites that are compatible with Dreamcast?

I use this site exclusively for my DC/Saturn saves: http://lavabit.com/

I'm not sure if gmail will work you can try it if you want though. To set up email with the Dreamcast browser though, you need to set your incoming (POP) server to the POP server of the email site you use (in my case the lavabit POP server is actually lavabit.com) Then for outgoing you don't use the smtp server of your email site. If you do then all your outgoing messages will fail to send. What you need to do is set the outgoing server to the smtp server for your ISP's email site. For example, with time warner the outgoing email server I use is smtp-server.ma.rr.com. So you should be able to find that out on your ISP's website. Then all the other fields for email client options in the DC browser should be obvious like user/pass etc. After you have it configured your settings will be saved in your Dreamcast internal memory like your internet settings and you can use any browser (xdp, planetweb, etc.) to use your email and upload/download saves.

Here is a list of smtp servers for various ISP's: http://www.realifewebdesigns.com/web-re ... -smtp.html

Lavabit will not let people sign up anymore sadly, at least in the meantime.

wtf they do that like every every month. Well try it with gmail and see what happens. If it doesn't work I would say just try finding a very basic email site that works with POP3.

How long do the blockage there usually last on Lavabit?

I'm not sure exactly how long. It might be random I don't know why they even do that. Maybe they are running out of disk space lol.
