VMU Emulators are software applications that allow you to run enjoy VMU ROMs, games, applications, and animations without needing the actual VMU hardware.
- ElysianVMU
ElysianVMU is a cross-platform feature-rich emulator being developed alongside the Elysian Shadows Toolkit, with the goal of bringing Dreamcast-exclusive VMU content to all platforms supported by their engine. The team has decided to release the emulator to the Dreamcast scene. It serves as a gaming platform, VMU filesystem manager, and even includes development tools targeted at helping developers write custom VMU software.
