Hello everyone, I'm new on this forum and this is my first post here.
I love everything related to SEGA and I'm happy to say that I'm a Dreamcast owner.
I've had my Dreamcast for only about one month now but one of my VMUs is already starting to give me some serious problems.
First of all, it restarts kinda often when it's not plugged into the controller. I have already changed the batteries so I don't think these are the problem.
Then, today I was playing Sonic Adventure and I transferred a Chao over to my VMU.
I played Chao Adventure for a while, and as I wanted to transfer my Chao back, I was about to switch the mode from game to clock, but as soon as I pushed the MODE button, the VMU froze with the ! icon on.
After some minutes the VMU turned off by itself. I was worried something might've happened so I put it back in the controller and turned the Dreamcast on. I browsed my VMU files and I saw that my Soul Calibur save file had a red cross on it and its "title" was gibberish.
Luckily I haven't played much on Soul Calibur yet but this is nightmarish.
Do you have any clue why this has happened? Do you know how can I avoid something like this in the future?
I have already made a backup file for Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi.
Thank you and have a dreamy day!
