One of my first VMUs
This is one of my main-o VMUs. I bought two of them and a Grey one. These were one of a kind units. You could store game data, download VMU icons (I customized all of my VMU icons), download and play mini-games. Some games, like Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia added content to the main game, as well. Sigh, a by gone era of stellar storage paks.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first VMU... and my coolest VMU
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2021
Verified Purchase
This VMU is my first and I got it new in box, making it also the coolest VMU I will ever own. I was a GameCube kid so I missed out on the Dreamcast, but I bought a broken one on eBay and fixed it up. This worked great with it. It holds my save data, and I can play Chao Adventure! The transparent blue plastic is really nostalgic.

This was a brand new sealed VMU purchased in the year 2020, I didn't think it would be easy to find something like that 20 years after it hit the market. Works great, and does it's job.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great buy, but with a possible drawback
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2018
Verified Purchase
I bought this because I really wanted to play 2 games that were only released for the dreamcast as far as home consoles go. Zombie Revenge and Sonic Shuffle. Mainly to play the VMU games for Zombie Revenge. I have been playing it alot, and after about a week, the battery has now died. Now my Dreamcast doesn't seem to read it at all. I am guessing that if the battery dies, your data saved on it becomes inaccessible until you replace it. I have yet to test that theory. Other than that, the product came as advertised, and I am satisfied. If my card is read and my saved data on it is ok when I put in a new battery, then I am pretty satisfied with it. I will post a response to this when I get the battery replaced!

I can't believe I was able to buy a mint condition dreamcast accessory for so cheap! The screen is stronger looking than the VMU that came with my Dreamcast as well.
