Keep the untouched source outside the live game/emulator save directory.
Additional formats / Format hub
Dreamcast VMU / VMS Save Formats tools & compatibility
Dreamcast Visual Memory Unit flash images and the specifically documented Nexus DCM and VMI metadata representations. SaveEditor treats fixed filesystem/root constants as evidence only and does not synthesize CRCs, FAT chains, directory entries, allocation state, or game payload bytes.
01 / Format context
Confirm the container and the profile.
SaveEditor separates wrapper recognition from semantic compatibility. Before processing a file, confirm the game or emulator, platform, version, expected size, and integrity rules described by the Tool itself.
Choose only a Tool whose support notes name the same format/profile.
File-size, encryption, signing, account, and browser-local limits still apply.
02 / Active tools
Dreamcast VMU / VMS Save Formats tools with explicit support state
Planned and deprecated Tool records are excluded. Phase 43 cannot make an existing Tool verified or operational.
