Whoops, I got it wrong. Its the first one.

Looks lke we need to translate page 22 of the instructions.

The game options are:

1. Single-person BATTLE
2. Everyone BATTLE
3. Kaiju LIST

Okay, time to give the upcoming release a name. It's gonna be called "VMU Archive" - very surprising, I know, I know
Can anybody please tell me, if the translation to Japanese is correct? So far, all I could do was asking google for it...

About the release:
Like I said before, it will be available on June 30th 2020. I guess it won't be the most groundbreaking software ever, but still for the first time you will have (almost) all official VMU executables in one place and ready to be transferred to your VMUs. It's gonna be released as an offline .cdi - so no need for going online with your DC. There will be a user interface, that'll let you sort everything either by name or origin, and optionally you'll be able to list everything in separate categories (games, clocks, animations and tools). Furthermore there will be a VMU manager similar to the one from the DC's bios.

Well, that's about it. In case you're interested, make sure to have some CR2032's by the time of the release

Any feedback on the Japanese translation, that I attempted? Does it read "VMU Archive" or "Visual Memory (which is ビジュアルメモリ, if I recall it right) Archive"?
OatBob… Xiden, maybe?

It looks to translate to Visual Memory per google translate

What it says is "visual memory archive"
If you're wanting it to say "VMU archive" it would literally just be "VMU アーカイブ"
When letters are read as-is, they are rarely put in katakana.

Thank you!
I think I will go with ビジュアルメモリ, since that is what's written on some back covers of Japanese games too:
What do the two extra characters add that are seen behind ビジュアルメモリ in the picture above?

That's taiou. Basically means "supports" or "compatible with"

Similar to the recent issue with the Godzilla VMU, I am also looking for the correct filename of the minigame on the red "Giant Gram / Giant Channel" VMU. Does anyone here have that one and could help me out with this particular info? Thanks in advance!

Did the VMU Archive ever come out?

Of course. I totally forgot to post something about the actual release here
You can find it in the "Downloads" section...
