If you want the files to change the background and enable hidden bios. I found them here
Quote: Here's an update to James' post below (and cross-posted into the other
: Dreamcast related groups). : : The mechanism to add your own background image to the DC's BIOS screen has : been figured out. And in addition to the new background stuff, we also : now know how to unlock an entire hidden second BIOS menu. : : If anyone wants to try out these features, you'll need a way of getting : files from the Internet to your VMU. If you have a Nexus memory card or : Double Power or other device like that which connects between your PC and : VMU, you can download these DCI files: : : http://www.rattlebrain.com/~opaopa/EXTRA_BG.DCI is the file to replace : your background image. It's a pretty big file since I don't have the : software to compress PVR textures. It's just a swirly logo. : : http://www.rattlebrain.com/~opaopa/ICONDATA.DCI is the file to enable the : hidden BIOS. Press start at the BIOS screen to switch between the original : and hidden BIOS. : : If you don't have one of those nice PC linking devices, you could connect : to the Internet directly with your DC and point the browser to the : following VMI files which will download the VMS files directly to your : VMU: : : http://www.rattlebrain.com/~opaopa/EXTRA_BG.VMI is the file to replace : your background image. : : http://www.rattlebrain.com/~opaopa/ICONDATA.VMI is the file to enable the : hidden BIOS. : : Theoretically, if neither of those is an option for you, you could use the : VMU Tool app and burn it to a CDR with the raw VMS files and get them on : your VMU that way, but VMU Tool is still an early beta and not very : user-friendly yet, so I don't think it'd be worth the trouble. This stuff : is cool, but not quite that cool yet. : : A note: The file that enables the hidden BIOS is an ICONDATA_VMS file, so : it will change the logo of the VMU it's downloaded to (to an orange swirly : thing in the case of the file I just posted) and it also means the file is : hidden in the DC's file manager, so means there's no easy way to delete it : if you tire of it. You'll either have to have batteries in your VMU (who : does?) and delete it from the VMU's file manager or else you'll have to : completely reformat your card (or it could be over-written with another : icon file, I suppose). : : If you can, you should totally try this stuff out, it's very cool to see : your Dreamcast doing something new after all these years and amazing that : with all the hacking of the Dreamcast that's gone on, we're only now : finding this stuff out thanks to Sonic Team's kindness in including the : hints in Puyo Puyo Fever. |

Yes, thsi is very nice. I worked all last night to try and upload the files to my server, but when i tried to download them to the vmu it wouldn't work. Im going home today and downloading it. I am at school right now though so i can't but i will when i get home. | ||||

yeah gamzor i realised that but the point of the conversation we were having in another post was that you could put your own picture into a certain file format and have it as your background, not just downloading the puyo puyo fever one, check the post i started about a new dreamcast feature, i can download the puyo file no prob, but people are talking about changing the file to create there own backgrounds capish? | ||||

I think you need a program called 'The Gimp' or something like that. I am going to download that and try to edit the file I have, and download it again. If this works it will be so awesome. | ||||
|
||||
u need a "pvr" but somehow it needs to be made into a vmi file. erm | ||||
