Search the board for VMU Explorer, it should work better. The VMS Browser assumes that all VMS saves need a VMI pair to go with it, otherwise the program won't even try importing a save. Needless to say, most sites that offer savegames only carry the VMS which isn't enough.

VMS files are also available on dc-planetweb site (that's where bucanero's saves come from), they are not linked directly because dc browsers only need the link to the VMI.

If the link points to http://dreamcast.planetweb.com/gamers/saves/sonic2/v88812.vmi the VMS is downloadable from http://dreamcast.planetweb.com/gamers/saves/sonic2/v88812.VMS, just copy link location and replace .vmi with .VMS.

You can get VMU Explorer from http://blueswirl.shorturl.com (or direct link here), as mentionned previously it fixes some bugs vmsbrowser has, and includes some exclusive features.

You can also get some exclusive VMU saves in VMI/VMS or DCI at http://bswirl.kitsunet.org/vmu/saves, feel free to upload your dreamcast saves there.
