		Some 4MB third-party memory card came with a cable and software to copy stuff to/from the card. I don't think you should have too much trouble finding one, they were pretty common. EDIT: http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=...produ... Looks like the cable is specific for that card, but I guess you could transfer stuff to/from regular VMUs through the DC's BIOS.

		You could email the vmu files to yourself using the dreamcast web browser.

		can't......UK DC servers are no longer up!......unless you know of another way?......link a pc-dc via modem2modem cable perhaps?

		can't you just copy save files to different VMUs through the DC system menu?

(UK) So I was looking for other ways to get them from my hard-drive to my vmu. Antime.....your link to the 4MB vmu+cable over at lik-sang is a big help! Thanks! :cheers

		you can re-download them off the net straight onto your VMU -- if you don't know the site, upload them to a webserver.

		You don't need a "DC server". You can use any dial up ISP that doesn't require you to use specific dialing proggies. Just boot the browser and adjust the internet account settings, much like in a PC.

		^I was going to say what M3d10n just said but I'm assuming you have a broadband connection for your pc and don't have any free 56k isp to turn to. If you think you can manage the pc-dc link to use that for internet i'd say go for it for sure... but it looked like too big of a pain for me. My suggestion would be to get a dc card that allows downloading files off pc (I think it was the nexus cards & cable that allowed this). Good luck. ---Ammut

		To freely connect to any ISP you need Dreamkey 3.0. It's bundled with Phantasy Star Online 2.0, or you can supposedly contact Sega Europe and get it for free/for P&P.

		You can also use a dreamcast coder's cable. There is software to do just that, and also backup your games to the PC. Lik-sang carries them too. EDIT: Here is the link to the cable at lik-sang... And the utilities used to backup VMU files... I have used them and they work quite fine.
