Introducing the VMU Disc Builder

Derek Pascarella has developed a tool known as the VMU Disc Builder, which simplifies the process of transferring save data to and from Dreamcast VMUs.

Key Features:

  • Ease of Use: The tool is designed for simplicity, allowing users to download necessary save files, burn them to a CD-R, or load them onto their ODE’s internal storage, then run it on their VMU.
  • Versatility: It makes the process accessible without requiring special cables or dedicated hardware.

Availability:

The tool is free and available for download: here

As save management becomes more streamlined, it raises questions about broader features. How might this ease of transferring files impact the overall gaming community’s approach to managing and backing up their retro game saves? Do you think this tool will lead to increased interest in preserving and engaging with classic games?

    Cool project. The description here reads to and from Dreamcast VMU, but from what I’ve read on the Github page it’s only to get them onto the Dreamcast, and not from. I’m still looking for a way to backup my physical VMU and to be able to continue playing on emulators.
