I've just tested, and the Soul Calibur DLC works fine through the site now

I hope BomberMan Online is the next, this one without doubt is the most interesting game to play Online in Dreamcast after Phantasy Star.

I don't know if Bomberman Online has a website, which is the part of restoration I'm involved in. I know Shuouma is working on getting the multiplayer back online though. The website will become a priority if DLC is found.

I use "VMI Writer" from here but it's not as simple as just creating a VMI file for a VMS. You need to know the correct filename. The VMS file isn't copied to the VMU as is; it's renamed to something else that's recognized by the game (in the case of the text adventure, it's "SCALIBUR1_VM". You need the original VMI in order to know the filename. So essentially it's only useful for fixing an existing VMI. A lot of people make the mistake of renaming the VMI and VMS files which breaks the link; this is where the VMI editor comes in handy.Roareye wrote:I don't know how to generate VMI's.

Re: Soul Calibur site and DLC!!!
just pull it from the actual game itself. This isn't perfect but it does a decent job of filtering and getting closepcwzrd13 wrote: but it's not as simple as just creating a VMI file for a VMS.

Re: Soul Calibur site and DLC!!!
Well I have no idea what any of that code is or how to view it. I have literally no code experience whatsoever. However I tested the site on Dreamkey on real hardware and the game downloaded fine, so the DLC does work.
