Hello, I wanted to know, what is the hardware inside the VM2 like?
The original was a 6502-like SoC that was also used in toys like the Tamagochi, I assume they still are produced nowadays, did you manage to get a factory to produce these ASICs for you or is it an emulated device?

that information is not published anywhere. You would have to ask the creator.

Just a heads up everybody, a new VM2 firmware update was released and it provides some new features, as well as stability improvements. No more controller input problems with "Yu Suzuki Game Works". Surely there are other fixes, I'm just not aware of them off the top of my head.

I supposed that ateam would know about it since he knows the creator, what I find to be weird is that no one on the internet tried to open the shell and see what's inside of it.

Latest updates. Mostly power management, and a small minigame fix.

  • SW 1.5.1.0 : Easily lock/unlock the extra blocks per virtual VMU file, through the GUI Utilities.

How does the VM2 operate with the bleem! discs and the PS1 formatting? Is it possible to format only 1 virtual VMU and not the whole VM2?

It's as many VMUs-in-one you can make in the space your microSD allows

bleem!cast is going to use the one you set not take the VM2 hostage
