Hi all new to the forum! I read on another forum that somebody on this forum has a fully working mp3 vmu player (like the one in picture below) If true would it be possible to get some pictures of it etc? thanks
Not sure if that person is still around but yes I do remember it coming up. Chances of images coming up now are slim though. And as far as it working I really doubt it. I think they were just prototype models with no real software complete for them. Same with the Zip Drive from what I remember reading.
I believe there was a custom someone made from a VMU a few years back. That may be what your thinking of but the ones shown had nothing electronic inside. Case only.
A custom? cool i made a custom zip drive for my Dreamcast i've been searching the site for it but cant find the vmu thing - if anyone finds it or know who has it/who made it let me know:thumbsup: thanks
Spot on afaik. I don't recall if the zip drive actually functioned but there were electronics inside. Likely it was because there wasn't any software that could actually use the zip drive rather than the electronics being non-functional. The MP3 player is a shell best I recall. Same with that Dreamcast DVD player that amounted to a Dreamcast on a chip as ODCM once put it.
Someone did make a pretty cool MP3 player out of a VMU with the new iPod Nano: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxWzBINS8ko&feature=player_embedded Sure, it's not it's own thing, but it looks pretty damn sexy. I want one.
That's what I had in mind but was going to use some of the VMU buttons for volume controls. Sould be a very simple build as well.
yeah i did see that i-vmu i only found out about the dreamcast zip drive on ebay after it had been removed from ebay - if i'd have known at the time it was on there i'd have bought it on my credit card:nod:
I want to buy an iPod Nano just to do that with a VMU; that is so amazing and very easily done. Should buy in bulk and sell those on Ebay! haha.
