SA2 Chao Market - need help downloading to VMU

Post by Chao Professor »

So, I recently purchased a Dreamcast, along with SA2. Please note that I am very new to the console, so sorry if I make any stupid assumptions.

Anyways, I decided I'd really love to have some jewel breeds. I searched around hoping that somebody might've preserved the original black market chao files for download - and came across this: http://www.dream.slurmking.net/chao/jewels.php

Now, all I need to know is, how do I actually go about downloading these chao to my VMU? I'm fairly confident with hooking my DC up to the internet, so is that all I'd need to do? Or is it a case of using a PC to VMU cable?? I honestly have no idea, but it would be great if someone more experienced with the console can advise me before I go purchasing a browser disc and a new VMU.

You will be better off downloading the VMU Chao Editor!

That looks like where they were made.

You'll need to use one of the Dreamcast browsers to download the .VMI and .VMS files to your VMU and then I'm pretty sure you load them into SA2 the same way you'd take a Chao or egg out of Chao Adventure 2. Most of the Chao on that page aren't normally obtainable jewel Chao, though. It looks like the guy included the edited jewel Chao that the Kids Troop Chao Rangers were in SA2DC before SA2B introduced the usual coloured and shiny Chao, along with the pearl and glass/metal/whatever it is Chao.
