Hi! Tamagotchi collector passing through

Post by Teethyfish »

Hello!

I'm here mostly to explore all the cool vpets that are on the VMUs of the Dreamcast.

Mostly interested in the Chaos minigames for sonic as well as the Godzilla minigame.

I know nothing about Dreamcasts so I'm gonna be very confused for a while :D

welcome!

my husband got really into virtual pets and digimon in the past few months. "seaman" caught his eye to the extent that he ended up ordering a whole dreamcast! definitely give seaman a look if you can either find a dreamcast microphone or get it set up on an emulator.


i'd never heard of the godzilla vmu before! i took a quick look, and the vpet minigame is on the Blue Swirl "dream explorer 0.8.5" disc under vmu_games -> misc -> game0006.VMI.
this is a pretty old tool (last release was ~2008), but not bad at all if you only have access to cd-rs.

the individual save file is on the website too, if you happen to have a method to transfer saves directly.
https://bswirl.kitsunet.org/vmu/game/?l ... g=godzilla

it seems like the game basically needs a fresh VMU, so i couldn't fit it on mine. but i'm curious - give me a holler if you get it working on yours!


i hope you enjoy your time on the dreamcast. may all your virtual pets grow big and strong.

no, i don't think so. there's a guide on gamefaqs that says what all the menus do though.

The green one ('Special Edition Godzilla VMU') has the following minigame: Atsumete Godzilla.

Then there are two different white ones:
'Special Edition Gamera VMU' has: Gamera Dream Battle.
'Special Edition Mothra VMU' has: Mothra Dream Battle.

See this thread for reference: https://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5276

Be aware, that if you buy one of these nowadays, the minigame might not be on it anymore. Still, you could use my tool "VMU Archive 1.0" to re-install these games. It's available in the Download section of this forum.
