VMU management device/card

Post by Claeris »

I had an odd question. I know I can use Dreamshell to manage VMU files and while I was debating getting into that (I don't use one or gdemu), my next thought was what about a bank switcher? Like a simple wired device like a mechanical AV switcher that lets you plug in, say, a dozen VMUs and then just push a physical switch to switch to the desired on, like an overblown version of what the 4mb cards can do lol, but then I had another thought: there's that dang ps1 memory card out now that lets you basically have infinite 'cards' and transfer them to and from a mirco sd.

So my question is, does anyone know if anyone's working on a similar concept for Dreamcast? Sure would be nice to have something just like that for our scene here. I'm getting overwhelmed with VMUs and trying to remember what's on what, and I'm still trying to figure out a rechargeable battery solution for them so I can actually enjoy the games and chao stuff while still having a job and a life.

tl;dr: What VMU and save management tools are out there besides dreamshell, gdemu's manager, and blue swirl?
