Re: Soul Calibur site and DLC!!!

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

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.
