A new version (v1.3.0) of my VMU Backup CD is ready, and this time with a pretty nice surprise.
The VMU CD now implements the VMU emulator SoftVMS by Marcus Comstedt (ported to KallistiOS by DirtySanchez).
Changes:
- VMU emulator SoftVMS implemented
- Added more games and saves
- 60 mini games available
- 350 games listed with over 3200 saves
UPDATE: I’ve fixed the image. I did a clean rebuild, then made a .ISO with MKISOFS and then just “BIN2BOOT vmucd.iso /nohack”
I burned the disc, tried it on my Dreamcast and worked perfectly. yeah!
Btw, if you like my work, please take a minute to sign my guestbook and leave a comment! I guess the usage it’s pretty simple, but in any case the controls are:
- (UP) / (DOWN) Moves trough items
- (TRIGGERS) Scroll item pages
- (A) Confirm selection
- (B) Cancel
- (Y) Display credits screen
- (X) Exits the VMU emulator
Congratulations Friend…
Excellent work. This is something any Dreamcast fan should have. However, there is one thing that might need improvement. The font is hard to read. I?m not sure what type of font it is but the letters are too close together and some times the background blurs the letters.
Besides that, maybe an actual game intro to the disk, some game images or something? Also, there are some other cool utilities for the Dreamcast such as a mp3 player, gameshark, and others. Maybe there is a way to incorporate them as well.
Again, congrats on this release, it?s real quality stuff.
Te felicito por la VMU Backup CD (es una maravilla se ahorra uno bastantes conectadas a internet) que es una idea que se podria llamar “obia” pero que nadie se habia atrevido hacer y una sugerencia para la misma VMU Backup CD seria posible que le cambiaras el tipo de letra por otra mas legible.
Saludos desde Mexico!!!
Nice work buk
Here, a list with all saves and commentar for all games on this cd. Great works Bucanero. Thx for all.
Excellant work buddy, I just hope you can incorporate your VMU zip feature in to this image too.
Indeed, a package of VMZip + VMU Backup CD was released as the VMU CD DreamOn edition: http://www.bucanero.com.ar/downloads/

Greetings to all! Excuse for this message, but at you excellent design of a site! Very much it was pleasant to me, I shall come here very often!
Ola bucanero, grabe tu cd pero pensaba que se podian meter los minijuegos a la vmu, me puedes decir como se hace?
The VMU backup cd seems to be really interesting, but I have a problem. It doesn’t run on my DC. I burned it in a SONY cd, maybe that’s why
But seriously, does it need to be burned in a special way?
Wonderful thing. VMU Backup is great. It’s my favourite DC soft
Excellent job my friend!! Keep up the good work!!
Greetings from Polonia!!

hey, no saves for virtua tennis 2
There’s a save for Virtua Tennis 2 (PAL) and also one for Power Smash 2 (JAP), you can find them here:
http://www.bucanero.com.ar/dreamcast/vmu/virtuatennis2/
They’re in the “SEGA Sports Tennis 2K2” folder.
Check the file names and you’ll see an “All unlocked. (Euro)” save.
Hi there,
Have just discovered this site as have recently got my Dreamcast out to play with again. I have tried downloading and burning the file onto CD but it doesn’t boot in my (UK/PAL) Dreamcast. Am I missing something? Could you or anyone give me some help?
Thanks in advance, when I do get this working its going to be very useful!!
Hi,
I have been having trouble getting this to work. I have downloaded the file, unzipped it and burnt it onto a CD but when I out it in the console nothing happens and it just goes to the main menu. Can anyone help me out a bit please? Cheers in advance
How do you download the Mini games on to the VMU?
I have the same question.
Copying mini-games to the VMU is not supported, they can only run in the built-in emulator.
I should have noted this limitation when I released my VMU Backup CD, sorry!
Hey man, my dad had this back in like 2010, and I grew up downloading saved games off it. I randomly got thinking, what is the banging music playing in the background?
The background music is a .S3M tracker song called “Haiku”. You can download the original file here: https://github.com/bucanero/vmucd/blob/master/romdisk/haiku.s3m
You should be able to play it with a VLC player.
