not sure if anyone has seen it or would want to use it. but i stumbled on what i guess is a dev manual for the VMU. its almost 800 pages, pretty cool. covers hardware, programming pretty much everything.

I downloaded it the other day, and looked through a few pages. Amazing!
I'll take my time and read through it, to see how this vmu thing works.

Solder wasnt used.)247 wrote:If you ask at the dc junkyard i do think it has been already done, including backlightpoopidoop wrote:i was looking for ways to power the vmu without using coin cell batteries.
