Accessory Description
The Performance Mega Memory Card for Sega Dreamcast (Model P-20-312E) was a third-party solution designed to expand the console’s limited save storage capacity. Offering a massive 800 memory blocks—eight times more than the standard VMU—this high-capacity card became a go-to option for gamers who played a wide range of titles or wanted to preserve multiple save files across RPGs, sports games, and fighters.
Manufactured by third-party accessory brand Performance, this aftermarket memory card eliminates the need for juggling multiple VMUs or constantly managing file space. Though it lacks the screen and interactive functions of Sega’s official VMU, it delivers what many gamers needed most: reliable, high-capacity game save storage at an affordable price.

- Ideal for gamers who play multiple titles or require large save files

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
During the Dreamcast era, memory management became a real challenge for players—especially those deep into RPGs like Skies of Arcadia or Phantasy Star Online. The Performance Mega Memory Card was a popular solution at the time, offering massive save capacity at a fraction of the price of multiple VMUs.
