The VM2 from Dreamware Enterprises is a proper next-gen VMU that replicates the functionality of the Sega original while making several quality-of-life improvements. The screen is backlit, a rechargeable battery is included, and it can use a Micro SD Card for virtually limitless Dreamcast saves! In this video, I will take you through setting up a VM2 and at the end leave you with my initial thoughts on the device.
