Thanks a ton! That should be pretty helpful, indeed.
Guess I was right about the red games not offering any VMU games. I will see what I can find on the green ones sometime soon.

One thing about YUKAWA SENMU NO OTAKARA SAGASHI: I've tried to translate the text via google, which gives me "the mini-games" instead of "a minigame". The thing is, I've already found ONE corresponding minigame, and was wondering if there should be more of them. Could you please re-check this specific one?

I guess there's nothing I see that would tell me explicitly if it's singular or plural. I was just assuming there's only the one minigame since there's only one description, but there could be multiple minigames where you dig holes for a high score, but I'd guess there's just the one if you've only found one.

Okay, I've been clicking through the game's menus again, and I'm pretty confident now, there's only one minigame - which is:

I just saw this thread. Awesome stuff! If you haven't already acquired or are in need of web space to host these let me know.

Maybe we can find more here: http://bswirl.kitsunet.org/vmu/game/?lg=en&menu=on

You guys, this project needs a little help!
The last few games I have to check for VMU content, namely:

Eve Zero - Ark Of The Matter
J.League Pro Soccer Club o Tsukurou! 2 (aka: Let's Make: J.League Professional Soccer Club! 2)
Kiteretsu Shounen's Gangagan (aka: Kiteretsu Boys's Gangagan)
Marionette Handler 2
Sakura Taisen Online - Teito No Nagai Hibi

...aren't circulated widely. If you have any dumps (.gdi, .cdi, .nrg, doesn't matter) of these, or you can point me to some place to download them, PLEASE let me know!!

Alternatively, if anyone has access to this forum: http://www.cngsl.net, that would be of great help - since they're pretty much all there. I failed to register, just because I can't read or type the chinese captcha :(

Does anyone know a way to contact "Speud" - author of VMU Tool / Dream Explorer 0.8.5?
His mail address listed on http://bswirl.kitsunet.org/ seems to be inactive by now...
