VMU Pro Firmware Update v1.2.0

You thought your Dreamcast’s VMU was cool? Yeah, me too—until the VMU Pro showed up. Now it’s basically a Pocket PC that remembers your saves, plays emulated games, and still looks like it belongs in 2001. And just dropped: firmware v1.2.0, and it’s packed.

No more guessing if your battery’s dying—there’s now a pre-loaded calibration profile. Forgot your WiFi password? No sweat, you can forget and re-pair. And here’s the kicker: you can now build and push game binaries directly from VSCode over USB. That’s right. Code your Dreamcast game on your laptop, hit “upload,” and boom—your custom level’s live on the little screen you used to use for Chocobo racing.

The SDK got a serious upgrade too: stack traces, memory usage stats, and even dev tools that don’t make you want to scream. Bug fixes? Oh yeah—no more accidental BIOS overwrites, broken audio, or lost mini-game progress. Plus, new VMU images now come with all 200 blocks free (no more “where’d my space go?!”).

If you’ve ever wanted to mod your Dreamcast like it’s 2024 and not 1999… this is your moment.

Pro tip: Grab one before the next firmware update adds a built-in espresso machine.
