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.

Back up first

Keep the untouched source outside the live game/emulator save directory.

Use explicit support

Choose only a Tool whose support notes name the same format/profile.

Respect processing limits

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.
