Accessory Description
The Official Sega Visual Memory Unit (VMU), model HKT-7000, is more than just a memory card—it's an integral part of the Dreamcast experience. Originally released in 1999, this OEM accessory functions as both a save device and a mini-screen-equipped controller companion, providing real-time feedback, custom animations, and even standalone minigames on select titles.
Designed specifically for the Sega Dreamcast, the VMU plugs directly into the controller and offers 128KB of total storage (with approximately 100 blocks available to users). With its monochrome LCD screen, built-in speaker, and navigation buttons, the VMU serves as both a memory card and an interactive display—delivering immersive functionality that was far ahead of its time.
