*.VMI aids DC Browsers. *.VMS is game's data.
Browser links use VMI files which point to VMS files. Have both.

clicking the Title/URL lets you go to a new site.

(Note: The Home Page
redirects the user to index.jhtml
which is
http://www.sega.com/index.jhtml
so apparently dcreg is in the root directory of www.sega.com and it isn't
http://www.sega.com/dcreg/index.jhtml or anything similar like that.)
Uploading
-
PlanetwebMaster's
FTP Upload Script is not accessible to PC Browsers, but
users of the Planetweb Dreamcast browser can use this to
upload saves in *.VMS/*.VMI format to an ftp server of
their choice. (Ya' just gotta trust that Planetweb won't steal
the password while using the service.)
-
If you'd like to make your own web page that can accept files, you
can use vmuupyho.zip which
contains some CGI files. You'll need to know how to
set up CGI files on your web server (I believe a Perl
Interpretor is needed), and modify upload.cgi to tell it
where to place files.
These were obtained from the Yahoo! Group called
Video
Game Systems Online which a certain page
(now down, but
cached
by Google) said was
"home of the world's first open-source VMU file uploader."
They were located in
Uploader!
folder of the files section
which had, in the files' descriptions,
instructions to rename upload.txt and cgi-lib.pl
to upload.cgi and cgi-lib.pl. (The files in the zip offered
by this site have been renamed as instructed.)
-
droleen's VMFile Uploader (newtest)
seems to have upload ability.
-
Heezy's VMU Uploader
has 4 popup ads when visiting in a PC browser. Since pop-up
children become the one sole active window, I would think that would
make the parent window inaccessible and make this link useless with
PlanetWeb's browser.
Haven't tried it in an actual Dreamcast, though. They
credit "Yahoo! VgsOnline"
so the VMU-grabbing technology is likely the same as the
vmuupyho.zip file from this page. Here's a form to try using
on his page:
Then check the
public uploads directory on Heezy's site to find the file.
(You may want to make sure the filename is available before you
begin uploading.)

According to
According
to someone called
insidious_plots,
kefka.hypermart.net/home.php has the credentials of
"world's first open-source vmu file uploader, world's first vmu
file uploader that accepts uploads from any dc browser".
Apparently his site moved to
another
hypermart.net site before moving to
www.vmu-harddrive.com.
Maybe you can find something from there.
-
This is more of a private link, but the following form can be used
by a Planetweb 2.0 browser to upload files to this web site. (They
aren't publicly available after uploading, though.)
Or here's a more condensed set of entry fields. (I haven't
updated this yet after having a chance to test this in the
Dreamcast browser and see which is nicer to use.)

VMU Saves. To download a save file in PlanetWeb's browser, the browser
needs to be directed to downloading a *.VMI file. This isn't the actual
save file, but rather, the VMI files point to *.VMS files which contain
the save data.
Here are some more useful locations:

Planetweb 2.6 has support for Dreamcall. Clicking on

That page redirects a
