hobbes · Post by **hobbes** » Thu May 27, 2004 11:27 am

hey guys I have a couple of vmu questions. first off what are the standard things the vmu can do? I know that displaying icons and some DC games gave u mini games 4 ur vmu.

mods: I know u can put custom icons on the vmu and put in some brew games into it. but is that it? isn there anything more these little baby's are capable of?

could a vmu b used as a watch? all my boys always diss on sega and I have this really cool see thru black vmu and I think it would b cool if it could tell time

if not, can it b done? if so, how long will the batteries lifespan last?

plz someone help me out thanx

So your talking about software rather than hardware mods?

Dosen't the VMU have a little clock?

i honestly don't know about the clock

i've never put the batteries in my vmu, u see i'm new to the DC scene.

hardware/software, anything possible that i can do to the vmu. i want to get the DC's full potential and it's accesories potentials also

Ok, you can backlight it with an LED, stick an LED in the top. Those will drain battery life though. You can make it run off AAA batterys aswell. Thats all I can think of so far

There's a clock in the VMU. That's why the batteries continue to drain even when it's off.

you can put a switch in it to make it really turn off when not using it

but then you'd lose your clock

Well, you can hardware mod your VMU, untill the F! resistor blows........trust me, I know.

cool , i never thought of that , where would you put the LED ??
it would be kinda tight squeeze.

the vmu's could have done a lot more if they had just worked harder on battery life

Just open it up and kill the clock and then you won't have the clock. VMU Mods are hard, well to me at least. They require more work and should only be done when experienced.

It sucked for me, I spraypainted mine and put a red LED in the top. It all works and everything but I cant get the VMU out of the fucking controller with out unscrewing the controller apart!! Any help?! I tried with oil but no luck...
