VMUPro Handheld & Visual Memory Card for Dreamcast (Smoke Black)

PRE-ORDER STARTS 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM UK @ 15 May 2025

 PROUDLY MADE IN UK!

Introducing the VMUPro

The last visual memory card you'll ever need for your Dreamcast. But it's not just for your Dreamcast.
The VMUPro has the ability to run applications and 8-bit console emulators turning it into a small handheld. Enjoy your favourite games from consoles like the Game Boy & Game Boy Color, NES, Game Gear and Master System on its amazing Backlit IPS TFT 16-bit Colour display.

The power of MemCard PRO

The VMUPro comes with all the features you loved from our MemCard PRO memory cards and builds on them to provide an even better experience tailored to its 1.5" Colour display. Automatic game detection through our innovative GameID system and multiple channels per game come as standard and can be stored on an up to 2TB microSD card (not included). A single gigabyte on your SD card is equal to 8192 original memory cards!

We've also added an amazing virtual memory card manager directly on the device! Cut/Copy and Paste your saves between virtual memory cards, delete them at will, or transfer them to another VMU or VMUPro by connecting the cards together. If you have more than one VMUPro, you can also transfer your saves between them wirelessly!

Wi-Fi + WebUI Reimagined

The VMUPro comes with our new unified WebUI which offers a more streamlined and user-friendly experience to manage your saves with ease, see playtime statistics, save game artwork and manage the device settings.

VMU Mini-games

It wouldn't be a VMU if it couldn't run your Dreamcast mini-games! The VMUPro is utilising a full EVMU Emulator to accurately run your original VMU mini-games. You can also choose up to 5x scaling, enable or disable a pixel effect or even choose your own colour theme!

8-bit Console Emulation

The VMUPro comes with 5 emulators as standard that let you play your favourite Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Gear, Master System and NES games directly on your VMUPro! All emulators support SRAM saving and 8 slots of save states for each of your games. The Game Boy emulator also comes with multiple palette options to give that game the original look you love. And all handheld emulators let you choose between original pixel rendering or 1.5X scaling mode to fill the screen. All that while running at full 60 fps!

Full-range Audio & Bluetooth LE

The VMUPro has a mono 0.7 watt speaker on-board that can play all your favourite tunes, from the beeps of the VMU mini-games, to the 8-bit emulator music or full-range 44.1khz mp3 audio! It can get loud, so it would only make sense to add support for Bluetooth LE Audio to enjoy your games or music anywhere!

Great battery life

The original VMU suffered from terrible battery life due to the dual coin cell batteries that had to be used for it. So getting this right was important to us.
The VMUPro has a 720mAh battery that can give you up to 6 hours* battery life when used at its most demanding task: playing emulator games.
It's also able to stay in deep sleep (stand-by mode with real-time clock active) for a full month! And if you really need to preserve that battery life for months later, you can fully shut down the device too!

A great future ahead

We love extending the capabilities of our devices beyond what they were originally designed for almost as much as making them in the first place. The VMUPro will receive continuous improvements and new features during its lifetime in the form of free firmware updates. We have quite a few surprises planned for the future, some of which will be available even before the first wave pre-orders start shipping!
