Collection Wireless mod delayed :/
Ugh was really looking forward to this. Doesn’t look like it’s gonna come out anytime soon…

I have one pre ordered but I'm not confident about this product. Their GC / PS mem cards are great but my VMU Pro feels like a half baked mess.

Yeah. The vm2 from that Greek guy is excellent. IMO. As is his wireless controller.

Yeah I’m glad I got a vm2 it really is such a good clone of the original with the exact modern features you need with just a slightly smaller screen I do wish vmu selection was a little less clunky with one button to scroll through. I have a vmu 2 and seems to work fine but also just doesn’t feel right for some reason

Yea I want a vm2, was gonna get a gnu but I seen some reviews that backs up this guys claim. I hope this wireless mod performs cause it ain’t cheap.

They may have improved it in subsequent batches but the dpad on my VMU Pro is shocking, I'm not bothered about using the emulator function but the dpad sticks on any press and isn't fit for purpose. Add to that, the unit seems very flaky over whether it wants to charge, and I've had to hard reset it multiple times because it becomes unresponsive. I'd recommend their mem card pro products to anyone but I've gone back to juggling data on original VMUs rather than relying on the VMU Pro. Really disappointed me.

Agreed, I've had ongoing charging issues with mine, it periodically develops significant screen backlight bleed. The dpad is pretty awful but I'm not fussed as I never used it u less I'm checking for updates.
I have issues with it working properly with a few games as well so had to fall back to "dumb" mode.
The other Memcard products I have are great, I feel like they tried to make this one do too much and needed to concentrate more on the basic functionality.

How long have you been waiting for this?

I preordered back in March, was originally slated for a July release date and then pushed back to September. Now who knows lol

So, I emailed them asking whether or not this would have vmu animation compatibility and got crickets. Anyone here know?

Darn. I really want this. I’ve been on the email list for alerts once they’re back up for order. I really hope this gets sorted out because the DreamCon S is wayyy too expensive

I was hoping this would be promising. I like their replacement board for the Saturn controller.
