No way to manually feed to a Bleem!ed VMU right?

I recall the VMU Tool Dream Explorer has supposed Bleem saves on it but were fake er could not even write to!?

I don't know that they were fake on that disc, just that they always failed to copy correctly to the VMU. So really pointless.

I am leaning towards not believing the bullshit story of the bleem! leak and the 5 color dc's once again lol
maybe i will rant about it more?
I might be more confrontational this time around :twisted:

It won't work
properly on raw Dreamcast VMU dumps, because the DCM
format is actually byte-swapped. Maybe later it will.

No one knows how Bleem!cast stores the last block
of the memory card. These isn't enough space on the VM
after the VMU headers have been put in as well. So it
doesn't convert the last block

why it does not work

@SMiTH: I think the rainbow colors represented the color phases of the actual rainbow. The 6th color is GOLD, to match the color of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. So we are missing the 6th disc which is somewhere in Ireland on Leprechaun island still sitting in a development kit.

Your mission, if you choose to accept, it is to find this disc, escape the island and only then you will find the Holy Grail of Bleem! Good luck, and carry a 4-leaf clover.

What about the hacks that exist to allow the use of extra blocks on a vmu?
If the vmu uses the extra blocks can a bleemcast save file then be transferred properly?

The rainbow thing after much review seems a bit like fiction but makes a great urban legion. Tom Cruise is available for the movie role.
