Hi all,
Juat wondering about the best solution for backing up my PSO characters. I'm running old school Dreamcast hardware with VMU's (Nexus and dreamcast memory cards). I've lost some very high level characters on my Gamecube and do not wish to have the same issue here. Is there a tool or a method to do this safely?
Thanks for the help!

Re: PSO Character Back Up
You can also do a serverside backup, which once setup will be automatic . These are good as a secondary measure, as it doesn't save everything. It wont save what is in your bank, but will save all your current stats and equipped items.
You can read about it here: https://dreamcastlive.net/blogs/post/ho ... haracters/
Also, I wouldn't use a 3rd party multibank memory card to save PSO data. If you want to use a multibank card, I would get an official SEGA one. PSO has issues with those, especially higher bank cards.

Re: PSO Character Back Up
I haven't tried it myself but supposedly you can swap the VMU in the middle of playing and then try to save. It will complain about the VMU being different and not work immediately, but after 5 tries or so it should save to the new VMU.

Re: PSO Character Back Up
Here is the tool to backup any save to another VMU.

This is a very useful tool in general, it also allows you to unlock an extra 44 blocks on every VMU you have.
