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.
I went through this same process yesterday.
  • New GUI from the site, then update to 1440.
  • Factory reset on VM2
  • FW update, it threw an error.
  • Reset GUI, and it reads
A bit clumsy, but it came around in the end.

El Bucanero got the fattest compilation, now https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/vi ... =5&t=16328 I think added even further
Does anyone know if the saves in Bucaneros set has been split into JPN/USA/EUR groups at all?

Okay small update, got it working! Emailed Chris and went through several things, was very helpful, in the end was i filming myself how the factory reset was not working, neither setting it to gui mode or not in gui mode would ever work, filmed it twice, then did a third time (same way i had been doing it for a week) and then it suddenly worked.

After resetting, the PC's could see it and allow a firmware update.

Hopefully this helps anyone in the future who have the same issues as me.

I am at my wits end. I just cannot update the VM2's Firmware. I am trying to reset it, but I always get REset failed error. I tried it with 1.4.3.0 and with 1.4.6.0. No luck what so ever. Status is always in Sream-only modus. I tried in GUI mode and not GUI mode.

I am trying to source 1.4.0 as I read it worked there. But I can't find it. Is here anyone who could help and or share the 1.4.0 file? Much appreciated

Send an email to [email protected], he's pretty fast to respond and he can help diagnose what's going on.

Reads like a problem I had. Read this post a few others prior to it, maybe this will help resolve your problem...
