and Microsoft has broken its cover and gone public. Designed for networkconnectivity and multiplayer gaming, the Dreamcast has four controller ports, an integral 33.6 Kbps modem, and an innovative visualmemory PDA card (seen that somewhere before, eh?) that slots neatly into the top of the controller and presents the user withvarious interesting gaming functions. The machine will shift 3 million polygons per second, features a 64-channel Super Intelligentsound system and rocks along with an SH-4 CPU, Power VR2 graphics engine and a customized version of Windows CE under thehood. There"s no price or hard-and-fast release date yet, but the press pack tentatively suggests November 98. Available separately,the PDA cum memory card looks uncannily similar to Sony"s efforts, but instead of attaching to the controller port, the visual memoryinserts into the controller itself, a bit like the planned N64-Game Boy Pocket Monster converter and is configured for super high-speeddata transfer. A scenario envisaged by Sega"s PR department involves using the modem to hook your Dreamcast up with a friendsmachine somewhere far away, thrash the friend at a game, then gloat over your victory by means of a chat session conducted

Crazy cool thing I just discovered: The LCD TV has a Picture-in-Picture feature, so if I was to plug to Dreamcast"s into the TV via different types of connection (Aerial and RGB, or something). could play two games at the same time! Even better, get out two copies of the same game, and compete against each other to see who can beat it first! I had a go at playing Sonic 1 with a Mega Drive and a Saturn at the same time and struggled on my own, but once a mate comes over..

As for your "grey box" with composite in (yellow cable) and VGA out, that"s not a DC VGA box. That"s a composite to VGA converter. And those suck, which is why you aren"t getting a good result. Get an official or officially licensed VGA cable or box made for Dreamcast (and only Dreamcast). You"ll see a huge difference.

That"s another thing: the article keeps mentioning the VGA box as a "converter". VGA boxes for DC (officially licensed for Dreamcast) don"t "convert" the signal. The DC outputs VGA natively. All the box or cable (there"s a VGA cable as well for DC that plugs directly into the console, so no need for a box) is carry that signal. Again, the DC outputs that signal on its own.

If you take A DAMN SECOND TO LOOK AT THE PICTURE...you will see that the VGA box IS directly hooked up to the Dreamcast. You can switch outputs on the box from VGA and Composite for games that don"t work with VGA.

If it was just a composite converter like you say the VGA box wouldn"t be hooked up directly to the Dreamcast. The composite would go from the Dreamcast into the VGA box Not Directly out of the VGA bo TO composite and VGA

I bought a VGA Cable for my Dreamcast to hook up to my 19inch LCD. And as i thought the picture looks horrible! LCD"s look crap if there not run in there native res. Luckily i have an old CRT so i used that instead and the picture quality is Amazing!

I guess you need an LCD TV for it to upscale from 480p? I"ve looked at all my Monitors options and there is no "Game Mode" or anything along those lines to upscale.

I got a VGA box but it doesn’t work with my LCD so I"m looking into a VGA to HDMI scalar. Anyone tried the lkv351? Comparison pictures of these also would be really handy to see how the Dreamcast looks scaled to 720p!

Dreamcast’s Green Memory Card Complete with its own LCD screen and controller buttons, the VMU can: Play self-contained VMU games, display secret info during Dreamcast gameplay, download and modify characters from Dreamcast games, trade files with other VMUs, save Dreamcast games files.

You can find all sorts of strange tech on Indiegogo, but this fundraiser for an improved version of the virtual memory unit (VMU) for the Sega Dreamcast is one of the zanier gadgets I’ve heard about this year (via Notebookcheck). The company, Dreamware Enterprises, is in the process of developing the VM2, which it calls a “next-gen VMU for the Dreamcast.” It’s a one-to-one recreation of a niche accessory made for a failed console that it plans to release in black or white in the summer of 2023.

Some of the improvements seem great, like a higher-resolution LCD screen with backlighting, microSD card storage for offloading and injecting saves, a rechargeable battery with USB-C charging, and mini-game support. It’ll ship with PC connectivity, with its own GUI for Windows. The firmware and software of the VM2 are being developed by a single person named Chris Daioglou. The Indiegogo page states that production will take place in Greece.

It costs a whopping $114 to place an order for one, and I mightjust do it. Why, exactly, do I really want one of these? Because I’m one of those people who still has a Dreamcast in their entertainment system. I guess that I have an obsession with dead gaming gadgets.

Enough about me. I could see the VM2 being very popular among the Dreamcast’s surprisingly active player base. There are those who still play it for the enjoyment of some of the finest fighting games. And then there are the more involved fans who have figured out ways to host or join dedicated servers for online games that have been officially out of commission for several years. Not to mention, some indie developers are still making games for the Dreamcast. So, yeah, there’s an audience for this thing. And that audience has spoken with its cash. The campaign has 18 days left, yet it has sailed past its goal of raising $89,119.

I might get one because I also just really dig the original concept. In case you missed the too-brief Dreamcast years before it was squished by the PS2, the VMU stood out because, unlike other memory cards, it had a screen that could display contextual info on a per-game basis through a window on the console’s controller. It could display your health, your next football play, or just show off the game’s logo recreated in pixelated fashion as you played. And notably, you could yank it out of the controller and trade saves by linking up with another VMU. You could also play solitaire on it with its D-pad and two face buttons, take care of Tamagotchi-style pets, or play other mini-games installed from some of the Dreamcast’s titles. Look, it was a different time.

Sega may have long since left console manufacturing behind, but the Dreamcast remains one of the longest-lived games consoles going, with fans ever so occasionally putting out new Dreamcast releases. The system has a cult following - the Dreamcast never dies.

The latest new development in Dreamcast technology is now available to be backed on crowd-funding site Indiegogo - and it’s a curious upgrade to one of the system’s most unique features - its VMU memory cards.

For those of you who aren’t rapidly hurtling towards their forties or indeed already there, the VMU (Visual Memory Unit) was a fascinating take on the memory cards of the time, making them interactive and fun rather than simply a slab of plastic that held your save data. Original VMUs contained a little LCD screen that could display information from the game you’re currently playing - providing a very rudimentary two-screen experience years before the Nintendo DS would do the same with far more utility.

Unplug the VMU from the controller, where its screen stares at you even when docked, and it had simplistic game controls meaning you could download mini-games from your disc-based, full-fat Dreamcast games and then play them on the go. The VMU also shipped with a Virtual Pet game built-in.

This new crowdfunded project is aiming to offer players an upgraded version of the VMU, improved by modern technology. Despite the improvements, this ‘VM2’ device retails all compatibility with the original Dreamcast.

Among its features, it offers a higher screen resolution, a high-capacity battery, the ability to stream the VMU LCD games to a PC via a Micro-USB connection, and a huge 128kb of storage - that’s 200 ‘blocks’, in Dreamcast parlance.

The Visual Memory Unit (VMU), also called the Visual Memory System, is the primary memory card produced by Sega for the Dreamcast home video game console. Sega Corporation is a Japanese video game developer and publisher.

The Visual Memory Unit features a monochrome liquid crystal display (LCD), multiplayer gaming capability (via connectors at the top of the device), second-screen functionality, a real-time clock, a file manager, built-in flash memory, and sound capability. Before the launch of the Dreamcast, a special Godzilla edition Virtual Memory Unit was released in Japan and was preloaded with a virtual pet game. The VMU is basically a removable storage device, but can also serve as an auxiliary display during normal gameplay and acts like a handheld game console through the use of additional software. The Visual Memory Unit includes a screen, speaker, proper directional pad, four action buttons, the ability to download additional games, and the ability to connect and interact with other VMUs.

One of the greatest Dreamcast assets, was for sure its unique memory card, the VMU: Part memory card, part second screen accessory, the VMU was also a mini-game console with its own small library of mini-games. It wasn’t perfect but it was such a cool idea at the time.

6. The small memory size of 128Kb. Even though Sega (and also 3rd parties) released larger memory cards, they all were actually a ripped VMU, lacking the LCD screen and supported only memory functionality.
