Brazilian Fan’s Dream Color+ Brings Color & Modern Flair to the Dreamcast VMU
What happens when a passionate Sega fan in Brazil decides to modernize one of the most iconic (and underappreciated) accessories of the Dreamcast—the Visual Memory Unit (VMU)? Enter the Dream Color+, a clever PCB upgrade that slots into your VMU port and adds color animation, SD card storage, and even homebrew app support. Yes, your VMU can now do more than flash a sad little black-and-white icon when you pick up a life in Sonic Adventure.
Right now, the Dream Color+ works with 22 games—including fan favorites like Sonic Adventure 2, Crazy Taxi, and GTA III—but developer Ângelo Pontes promises more titles are coming. And if that weren’t cool enough, there’s also a full controller option with dual analog sticks (handy for Android/Windows compatibility), making it nearly playable on modern platforms.
The crowdfunding campaign is live on a Brazilian site (yes, still only 7% funded on day one), but it ships worldwide—starting at ~$115 for just the PCB, up to ~$172 for a full controller. With two months left, it’s not too late to jump in if you’ve been dreaming of a VMU Renaissance. 🎮✨
