Dreamcast Demo Discs, Memory Card, VMU


I just put a few Sega Dreamcast items up on eBay. All of the items start at a low 99 cents. The items include a Generator Demo Disc and an official Sega VMU.

For those of you that don’t know, the Sega Visual Memory Unit isn’t your basic memory card. It also works as a standalone games player. With its built-in D-pad and buttons, the VMU is like a poor man’s Game Boy. Some Dreamcast games like Sonic Adventure and Power Stone had downloadable titles that you could take with you on the go. The catch, however, is that the games won’t work unless the VMU has two functioning lithium batteries. Many of the VMUs listed on eBay, like mine, have dead batteries. If you’re interested, here’s a YouTube video that shows you how to replace them.

One other note: VMUs with dead batteries function just fine as Dreamcast memory cards. All you have to do is plug the VMU into a working Dreamcast controller and you’re ready to go.
