It`s much more than a memory card! For the first time, you can take parts of a game with you and play with them away from home. The VMU has its own microprocessor, screen, memory and controller and can act as a self-contained game machine. You can save information from your Dreamcast onto the VMU and modify/change/play with that data while you are away from your Dreamcast. For example, download characters from Sega Dreamcast games into the VMU, train them while on the bus, and then load them back into the Dreamcast game. Save special VMU-only games and play them at work or school. Even connect your VMU to a friend`s VMU and compete or trade game files! The VMU`s LCD screen can be viewed while it is inserted into a Dreamcast controller and creates a private viewing device that can be hidden from other players. Now, you`ll be able to select plays in NFL 2K without your opponent knowing what`s coming. The VMU adds a whole new strategic level of gameplay! 200 blocks of memory space for plenty of game-saving power. Built-in controller buttons and D-pad for standalone gameplay. Hi-resolution LCD screen. Complete with cap to protect connector pins.

Anyone wanting to play on the Dreamcast does really need a
Visual Memory Unit (VMU) and if you are looking to play titles such as four-disc heavy
Shenmue or NBA 2K it really is a must.
Although more expensive than its PlayStation counterparts the VMU units hold ample saves, as well as doubling up as a mini game portal for some games like Soul Calibur.
If you don't want the fuss of having to complete games in one go, and trust me you don't, then this VMU with display is a worthwhile investment. --Stuart Miles
