8BitMod’s VMU Pro: Beyond Dreams

The VMU Pro from 8BitMods is not just living up to its name – it’s exceeding expectations. This updated version of the Dreamcast memory card offers more storage, a color screen, and the ability to play MP3s.

But perhaps most exciting for classic gamers is its capability to run Doom, an iconic first-person shooter from id Software. The video footage shows impressive performance with better framerate than the SNES and 32X combined.
