Average Rating: Rating: - VMU= Very Much Underated The VMU is so cool. I love the mini games. Chao adventure, soul caliber,pac man, and alot more (all must be dowloaded through planetweb). I love the cool translucent colors (red,black,yellow,blue,and green). fits in your pocket and you palm. the lcd screen is also very cool. it tell you how much memory you have used and have left. you can set the time and have a dog,fish,or bird flying around. if you have a chao saved is sonic adventure, you can walk him through different worlds and feed him fruit. they take 2 cr2032 batteries. do not use them constantly (while not in you controller) for they will run out of battery. even if you run out of battery, you can still make them work when they are in the controller. with the 8-bit proccesor, they also tell you what game your are playing by showing a cool animated title. In tony hawk, it even tellls you how many points your last trick was and say stuff like "bummer", "darn", "sweet", and other cool stuff. SO GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT GET IT! Rating: - VMUs are probably the coolest idea since games on CD... The VMU is not only a very cool idea, it's essential if you want to play just about any game on Dreamcast. If you're used to a cartridge-based system, allow me to explain. Unlike on a cartridge, there is no space to store any save data on a CD-ROM (or GD-ROM).. the ROM is Read-Only Memory, meaning you can't write. So, you're playing ... Sonic Adventure, or Shenmue, or any game that lasts more than about two hours.. and you've been playing for a long time, you're tired, you want to do that unknown thing called sleep. You go to save.. and scream. It says that you need a VMU to save. AAaaarrgh! Some features of games can also only be unlocked using the VMU - you can download minigames to it, and play them like a Game Boy. If you examine it closely, it kind of looks like a Game Boy, actually.. Now, let's say you have a VMU. Not the Sega one, mind you, but a third-party one that has about 100x the memory. Great! ..Till you wake up in the morning, and it says "Save file corrupted". This time, you scream so loud you can hear it in Russia. I can't stress this point enough - ALWAYS get first-party memory cards. They're much more reliable .. and that 100x Super VMU Bango Whiz Gee Oh! that you bought doesn't have a screen to play games on. - Again, you also fall in love with that COOL blue color :P Rating: - The best memory card yet, in different colors Considering past memory cards for past systems may not have had all the memory one could have hoped for, Sega decided to change things up when they released the Dreamcast. The Dreamcast VMU (Visual Memory Unit) is a step ahead in designing home system memory cards. Included is a small LCD screen with working buttons to play mini-games along with other features (for example raising Chaos in Sonic Adventure or playing a Pac-Man type game with Namco Museum). You can take the top off the VMU and transfer files into another VMU or link it up to play mini-games together. The VMU can hold up to 200 blocks of memory, and while this may seem like a lot, most of Sega's 2K2 sports titles take just about 200 blocks of memory just to save options let alone a team season. Not to mention that after a while the battery life of the VMU LCD screen will die, and that happens quicker than expected, but the LCD screen isn't necessarily needed if your just using the VMU as a memory card and nothing more. All in all, I would recommend at least 3 or 4 VMU's for Dreamcast owners; they're cheap and affordable and you can still find them at game retailers.
