FROM YOUR CONSOLE TO THE CLOUD
Get started on your Dreamcast
The goal of this service is to provide a safe place to backup your VMU saves. It also allows you to download your saves to another console, and share your files with friends!

1. Create your account
Register here with a username, password and email address. You’ll use the same login in the Dreamcast app.
2. Boot the app on your Dreamcast
Use the CDI image downloaded above to start the app on your console.
GDEMU: add the CDI to your SD card using your usual game setup, then launch it from the menu. For other optical drive replacements, check which image formats they support.
CD-R: burn the CDI as a disc image, rather than copying the file onto a data disc. It is self-booting on MIL-CD-compatible Dreamcasts; no separate boot disc is needed.
3. Connect and log in
Connect the broadband adapter before starting. Your router should provide an address automatically through DHCP. Set the Dreamcast’s date and time correctly so secure connections can be verified.
Log in with your DCVMU account.
4. Upload or download a save
Upload: select Upload from the main menu, choose a save and switch VMUs with left/right if needed. Add a name, game and optional notes.
Saves are public by default; or choose private to limit to your account. If a duplicate exists, you can replace it or keep another copy.
Download: select Download, browse your own saves or public saves, then choose a destination VMU with enough free blocks. Confirm the install or replacement.
Keep the VMU connected and the console powered on until it finishes.
Follow the on-screen button prompts to select items and go back. A selects and B goes back.
