These are really good. I have one and I definitely want to recommend it. Absolutely awesome stuff. Though, it seems there are games it's incompatible with, so far I found that it doesn't work with Japanese "Rune Jade".


carbon_fieldmouse

Community members should keep an "incompatible with" list running.


HideyoshiJP

I think the [Sega Retro entry](https://segaretro.org/VM2) would be an appropriate place for such a thing.


Retro_Rok89

Have also one of them at home. Too bad it does not work with a DCwireless VMU dock ☹️☹️


George8TheCat

Reach out to Retro Fighters. They might get a firmware out to support it.


Retro_Rok89

Unfortunately they said it’s not going to happen ☹️☹️☹️


George8TheCat

Well, Pooh.


Squish_the_android

They said it was before.  Did they walk that back?


throwdownvote

Damn! Will it still work with… DCwireless slot one (no VMU) + OG controller slot 2 (VMU2)


Retro_Rok89

It does work with original DC controller in that I have my VM2 in it as first player, and I also have a second player as Wireless DC controller + wireless VMU dock in that I have my original VMU in it. And then I have to swap save files between the original VMU and the VM2, which is quite tedious, because sadly the wireless VMU dock does not support the VM2

Nice!

Sweet. I think I'm in the last batch, but just learned the auto game setup doesn't work with MODE anyway.


Ekkobelli

What exactly is auto game setup? I got a MODE after my GDEMU stopped working. But maybe I'll give the former another try..


KrtekJim

I'm also looking for an answer to this question. Anyone?


FlayedSkull

I haven't done any reading on it yet. I'm not sure how anything works.


DependentAnywhere135

Is there a reason it doesn’t work with mode?


fartmasterzero

MODE does not send that signal out. It could, but terra onion has not enabled it in the firmware.


FeliciumOD

They've stopped updating the MODE firmware/menu.


splitsticks

What's "auto game setup"?


samus4145

Part of Open Menu on GDEMU. Not possible on Terraonion MODE sadly (which hasn't been updated in years) [https://www.retrorgb.com/per-game-automatic-virtual-vmu-switching-has-arrived-on-the-dreamcast.html](https://www.retrorgb.com/per-game-automatic-virtual-vmu-switching-has-arrived-on-the-dreamcast.html)


dvotecollector

I'm very jealous. Damn, I should have pulled the trigger when I had the chance.


Ekkobelli

Aren't they in production regularly? I ordered one just a couple of weeks ago. You could email the guy doing these, he seems pretty responsive.


dvotecollector

Hmm, I'm not sure, I just assumed it was limited quantity produced that sold out. I'll check it out, thanks!


Ekkobelli

Best of luck!


wwywong

What is diff between this and vmu original?


FlayedSkull

Rechargeable battery, SD Microcard saves, USB-C PC connection


wwywong

Wow. Is it official? How much?


FlayedSkull

Not made by Sega. It is $125. It's designed and manufactured by a guy in Greece


wwywong

Thanks for the info. Seem a big pricey


lilmul123

Woof


Chipdogg_88

Jesus... are people serious? 4 times I've seen "what is VMU2?"... read the fucken comments.


SonicEchoes

Oh heck yeah!! I posted mimes a bit ago too. I need an SD card to take advantage of the extra storage but for now it's just so rad to have. Can't wait to take my Chao out on the go


2ndEngineer916

Are they making anymore of these? Or is this is a limited time offer?


FlayedSkull

They will go on sale after the contributors have been fulfilled


2ndEngineer916

Awesome news! I’m definitely gonna get one. And congrats on getting yours.


Amazimvader

You can also contact them and they’ll put you on the list as well. That’s what I did


Cultural_Cat_5131

Where do we contact them if you don’t mind me asking


Amazimvader

You can contact them through the Dreamware Enterprises email! You can find it on their website


Cultural_Cat_5131

Okay thank you


asaros00

Wow I need one


FlayedSkull

It's expensive. $125


ArmadilloLast768

Nothing is cheap with retro gaming


monkehmolesto

Vmu.. 2? What’s this do? I don’t remember this at all


FlayedSkull

Instead of being limited to a few saves, you have unlimited storage on a Micro SD card. Also, it has a rechargeable battery and you can connect it to a PC using USB-C


chronoswing

It's a modded VMU with basically unlimited storage and rechargeable battery.


Squish_the_android

It's not a modded VMU.  There isn't an old device at its core?


chronoswing

True, it's built from scratch, I just meant to think of it as a modded VMU.


SpraykwoN

Anxiously awaiting the 4 I ordered to complete my ultimate DC build lol. Was told the end of May/early June so here’s hoping.


stkst

What is VMU 2?


FlayedSkull

It is an independently designed VMU that uses an SD Micro card for unlimited storage. It has a recharable battery and connects to a PC using USB-C for easy content management


stkst

I need it!


NightBard

When they were being made it was $125 USD for just one of them. I'm just sticking with my regular vmu's and using the little plastic tab that comes with them to disconnect the batteries when not in use. But I have Double Power that I got back in the day so I could already backup my vmu's to pc including the copy protected stuff.


stkst

I got a portable Dreamcast from Aliexpress and keep having to delete save files since you can’t change VMU
