Accessory Description
The Official Sega Dreamcast Visual Memory Unit (VMU), model HKT-7000, was one of the most forward-thinking accessories of its time. Developed by Sega as the standard memory card for the Dreamcast, it also introduced new functionality with its built-in LCD screen, sound, and buttons—essentially acting as a secondary display and mini handheld gaming device.
With approximately 100 usable save blocks, the VMU could store game progress while simultaneously enhancing gameplay with visual feedback for select titles. It was an integral part of many Dreamcast experiences, offering features that extended beyond basic save functionality—like on-the-fly play calling in sports games or virtual pet care in Sonic Adventure.
