This one is a few months old but I haven't posted it here yet! Magic 8 Ball for the VMU. Ask it a questions and it will randomly generate 1 of 20 possible responses. Just like the old toy I'm sure many of us had!

Another new game. Street Race VMU. The game features 6 tracks with varying difficulty, greyscale graphics and optional sound and audio. I'll be posting a download link in the next week or so. Sorry about the poor quality videos, I'll get a better camera someday haha

I think this stuff deserves more recognition then it's getting. I may be wrong, but I think you've single handedly developed more on-VMU homebrew than everyone combined in the last 10 years. Great work

After the Dreamcast's commercial era ended, there hasn't been much stuff like this seen. But again I could be wrong. In any case keep it up man

Family Dog I think you should check out the link below it might be of interest to you since you'd made your own VMU helping keep the dreamcast indie scene alive , its an event for dreamcast homebrew developers

Thanks DR TEAMCAST. I'm not aware of any VMU homebrew since about 2005, I thought it could use some love! It's such a great concept it's a shame there isn't more.

Looks interesting. I'd love to commit to it but it's hard to find the spare time. If a few more people join it'd be cool to make an mini-vmu version of some of the games.

Really cool Family Dog! I'm definitely going to keep an eye out on your developments and looking forward to your compilation CD, that would be really cool to have and a convenient way to get all these games on my VMU =)

That is impressive for a potato chip of a game console. That is where I get most of my demo art from across various systems.
