Visual Memory Unit - Dreamcast
Hello, dragging on the web I stumbled on it, the virtual memory unit.
Is there anyone here who has looked at a project on this small machine?
Must be able to insert a screen 2 "and a pi zero in. The buttons and the pcb must be able to be used ...
What do you think? Would that be technically possible?

Re: Virtual Memory Unit - Dreamcast
well at any rate, it's probably possible... (I'm not 100% sure if a zero will fit in though but probably) as there's already a super tiny gameboy nano on thingiverse...tikiandskull wrote:Nooooooo i don't have the skill and it's just a question!abrugsch wrote:Don't kill a working VMU...

Re: Visual Memory Unit - Dreamcast
yes, I'm tempted to do one specifically for playing Pico-8 games as they are 128x128

Re: Visual Memory Unit - Dreamcast
that screen looks like a perfect fit!! the only thing i would say may be of concern is the distance from the end of the screens actual visible 'display' area and the end of that pcb. But actually as i am typing this, i realize it is a 128x128 screen, so you could just rotate it 90 degreesabrugsch wrote:VMU arrived! There are loads on ebay right now...

how does the 65mm length of a pi zero compare?
