So does anybody know where I can find a 2.0 browser? I've been using the 2.6 and have had no problems, has anybody out there actually HAD their DC memory wiped by the 2.6 browser?
Hotmail DOES recieve attachments, by the way. Are you all backing up using the original Sega VMU? My main char is on there but I've been testing the method using chars from a Nexus 4x and it doesn't seem to be working...
Only thing I did to retrieve it was to check the mail with the DC web browser. Opened the mail and then went down to the attached file. Clicked on save file and chose the VMU I wanted to save it to. Popped in PSO and away I went...
Last night I battled with my dreamcast for a long time trying to figure out what was wrong with my character file. I made a new character and uploaded him to email to look at the file. I viewed both the system files on wordpad, and allthough it was just a bunch of computer language, I could tell that the character file that was not working was screwed up. My email address and mail server were written all over the file. So, i figure something messed up when i emailed the file in the first place. I thought I had lost my character with all of my hard work. But, the strory ends happily, because I remembered i had sent myself the character earlier in the day with a slightly lower lever. I downloaded this file and it worked perfectly. No one can understand the relief I felt as i stared at my once lost character in the wee hours of the morning.
Just thought somebody might like to know the story
I found the easiest way to do this is to simply e-mail right to yourself. Whatever (POP or SMTP) e-mail account you have set up on your DC, that's the one you send it to. ONLY send the .sys file, do not try and send the .sys and the .gcd in the same e-mail, that looks like it corrupts the main save file. You can copy the .gcd to another vmu through the DC's built in memory manager. I've done it several times this way, the only problem I've ever had was trying to attach both files at the same time.
i filled out the form for a free browser from sega.net and i got 2.0 in the mail like 4 days later. i email both the gcd and the sys in the same attachment, then i hit my homepage and go back to email and its there waiting for mei love it! too bad 56k is so god awful slow :/
I recently came across some news regarding a device called the Double Power VMU that lets you copy VMU files (even copy protected ones) from one VMU to another. I have read that it does work on the message boards I visited. I just ordered mine from www.levelsix.com (about $25 w/o shipping) and will post my findings if anyone is interested.
Yes! If you find the Double Power useful, I would like to know. I want to backup my character just in case I get the black screen of death. This sounds like a much safer solution than emailing it to myself.
Yeah guys, be wary of Web Browser v2.6... from what I've heard it will reset the DC memory, which will mean you will lose your PSO serial Key. And a serial key can only be registered once in PSO, so you will end up having to call Sega to remove the old key while issuing you a new one. A whole lot of hassle =/
Just use 2.0 =) If anyone needs it there is a link I have around here somewhere...
