Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: 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 Manufacturer's Description: 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. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Sega Visual Memory Unit ReviewI'm Pretty Impressed Than You Can Use a VMU as an LCD Portably But My Only problenm With the VMU Is That It Can Store Very Little, It Has about 350 Blcks Space and Each Game is take about 30 Blocks, And For a Game It Takes 120. But If You Have a Dreamcast, Get It! Rating: - Best memory card out there, but...This is an awesomely intuitive memory card. The LCD screen, capable of displaying animations and even playing games while you are not on your Dreamcast is the best idea I've seen in years. The only problem I have with this, however, is that the capacity of the VMU is too small. Very often you will run out of room to save your games which is a shame. I would like to see an 8MB version of this or something like that, although I see it as highly unlikely. Rating: - Reliable and Multi-purpose!Well what can you say about this? The official visual memory unit is used for storing your game saves, but during gameplay the screen can display useful information (ammo remaining, radar, stats of player etc.) which is very useful in some games. Some DC games allow you to download information to the VMU and play mini-games which can unlock secrets in the main game. So it's like having a mini-gameboy in that sense. As for saving I for one have never come across any problems, such as corrupted data, with the official memory cards (and I have three!). Very reliable saving system. If there's one gripe it's that the batteries wear down too quickly, but despair not - there is a trick to preserving their life. Keep the tiny plastic ... Read More: Rating:  - GREAT!!! V.M.URecently i bought a v.m.u for my dreamcast and i am very pleased with it, its secret info is very handy when playing your favourite games, and also you are able to store a load of saves with its 200 spaces, another great thing is that you can play games on the LCD screen. All i can say is buy it, NOW! Rating: - ExcellentYou can save up to 15 games on the vmu and the LCD screen enables you to see additional game info whilst playing. You can also download games onto it and use use it as a tiny handheld console! More still you can personalise it with your own icon on the LCD screen. On the downside the batteries run out pretty quick, one tip - **always unplug the controller from the dreamcast when you finish playing** - this will conserve battery life. Still, it's more fun than your average memory card - thumbs up from me ;-D |
