I'm having a big problem for playing Half-Life.
With each save, the game requires more space VMU. Is there any way to solve this problem, because if the size is limited to 200 Save blocks will not be a problem, but if it requires more space than the VMU, it will be a problem for me. Do not want to play it on PS2. I want to play it on Dreamcast it.
The Dreamcast version was a BETA I believe, so it wasn't complete... I heard later on in the game it requires 200+ blocks and crashes a lot. There's nothing you can do about that because the game wasn't finished. :shrug:
Far as I know, the Dreamcast version is ready and needed a few tweaks to be marketed.Quote:

He does not accept my unoficial VMU 4-in-1, so I'll just buy an official VMU to play Half-Life.
Thanx man!
There is a VMU utility that can free up an extra 40 blocks on a VMU I believe, but I don't know how much use that would be...
If you save when it has just loaded a new area the saves are considerably smaller ;) you can even have more than one save in 200 blocks though I have to admit I have 244 blocks on most of my VMU's and even my 15 page Nexus memcard has most set to use 244 blocks aswell (half-life saves on the nexus card fine aswell)
beter than the mods for Half-Life on the Dreamcast that you can't save on at all
I have a Nexus but when I try to use it, an error occurs and the game does not save.Quote:

What makes the VMU DreamExplorer to make available those extra blocks?
It just opens up what Sega blocked out to round it down to 200 blocks of the 244, you used to need to format while opening up the extra blocks but this no-longer is the case, this is reversable and goes back to the 200 blocks if cleared(all saves selected and Delete)/formated by the Dreamcast bios (if memory is not formated) [Never come across unformated memory except from new VMU's/Memory Units]Quote:

Personly I would still backup your saves on another VMU anyway though
Our Nexus cards are not the same card so maybe there are issues with your 4 page Nexus card with some games, personly never had an issue with anything I have thrown at my 15 page Nexus card
