No VMU found in slot 1

[kevc]

Hi, i'm a noob and I am trying to configure nulldc. I have my save plugins selected but every time I load a game it says:

 

No VMU found in slot 1.

 

Any help much appreciated here.

I figured out how to format the memory cards.

 

How much GB memory does each stick generally hold and how much GB memory does each save generally take up.

 

I only have 80GB memory and approx 5GB spare for saves.

GBs, as in gigabytes? That would be utterly ridiculous. A VMU file has to total capacity of 128kB (as in kilobytes) on your computer's hard drive. Each game save you make occupies a specific amount of blocks on the VMU. The actual Dreamcast only sees and cares about blocks similar to the PSX, it does not care about actual computed filesize of the emulated VMU.

 

Also, I doubt you have 80GB of memory, more like 80GB of hard drive space.
