USA VMU with Japenese Software

Post by **gradualmeltdown** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 2:11 pm

hey there,

I can't get Under Defeat or any other japanese DC game to create a save file on my VMU. The VMU shows up but will not accept a save. Is this normal and if so how can I trick my VMU into being Japanese.

I don't think that is normal. I bought my VMU in the second-hand market, so I don't know if the previous owner did something to it, but nevertheless it is an European VMU and I have no problem saving Japanese games.

I've never had problems saving japanese games on US VMUS and memory cards, is your VMU officia?

Weird... I've tried 2 Sega VMU's and a third party one. They show up and the screen on the VMU shows a logo. I wonder if its a battery thing.

Yeah I use my Australian bought VMU's for japanese games and they work fine.

Your controller could be the problem. The VMU interfaces through the controller. I would get a 2nd controller and try that.

Seems like it is only Under Defeat that won't save. Tried several VMU's, controllers, and cables. I even reset the time and date on both VMU's using the DC control panel. Kinda sucks because I really want to keep stats and start from 2-1 everytime. Damn it!

Never had an issue with Japan / PAL games on my US VMUs either. Out of curosity, is your Day of Defeat original or a backup?

Original legit copy of "Under Defeat"

Did you have a previous save file for the US version? I remember spawn screwing saves between regions
