I was just thinking today that it would be very useful to have a
Dreamcast based VMU emulator...
Ideas for features would be:
- to have the VMU emulator controled via the DC controller and have
the program being run displayed on the TV as well as on the VMU
loaded into the DC controller...
- it would would have to load from and save to the VMU in the DC
controller so that the emulator could be used to play the minigames
associated with specific games and acctually affect them (aka skies
of arcadia/sonic adventure 2), so I don't have to buy another battery
- it would have to emulate up to 4 VMU's simultaneousely and support
linking between the VMU's in 2 controllers as well as a virtual VMU
controlled by one of the other controllers...
- is should include all the copying/deleting funtions that are
standard to the VMU interface built into the DC...
- it should allow for upload and download via FTP for VMU files
(including appropriate conversion), so one can avoid purchasing new
Memory cards by backing files up online..
- and for good measure it should have a simple graphics editor that
would let people create and change those VMU image things...

All in all, if it's at all possible it seems like it would make a
very useful tool, and seeing as their are so many people out their
playing with codeing the DC and VMU it seems like it would have
already been done by now... I unfortunately don't have much
experience with programming and stuff so I wouldn't know where to
even start looking for this kind of stuff.

anyways... it's an idea I like to dream about and if you have any
suggestions where I should start looking for the steps I should take
to start creating this kind of stuff I would greatly appreciate it (I
have a couple really good programming buddies who are just itching
for the opportunity to code something useful)
