    I should have done this years ago 👍

    A less destructive option for the case would be to buy a round LiPo battery that would fit in the space of the 2x CR2032, with 20mm max diameter (same as CR2032) and max 6.4mm thickness (same as 2x CR2032 stacked). LPR581820 is 18mm x 5.8mm 3.7v 170mah, but I'm not sure if any other manufacturers make this type of batteries.

    That's a nice arrange of consoles you have there and good mod. I would like to do it myself, but I don't have a soldering toolkit or experience with that and I'd have to do about 14 VMUs... so maybe one for the future.

    I was recently looking into this for my VMY Vet. This really is amazing to see after thinking about it. Thank you for sharing this with us bro. Now I have to do so with mine. 8^)

      Hi mate 👍 took me about half a hour to do and about £15 so worth it imo them bloody CR2032 batteries don’t last long so going to do a case swop and power supply mod on one of my Dreamcast soon as I feel I’ve not done enough with that console
      Cheers Vet

    Awesome mod! I won't try to do this, as I'm not familiar with soldering, but I'm glad to see how it was made. Cheers from France.

    I got recommended your video and got an idea, how about using lir2050 in the original cr bracket - well it's a bit lower but you can just put a cent in there and then try to fit in some tiny charging circut inside

    All these years and all these VMU mods and yet no one still hasn't mad a VMU with a backlite screen that is ips graded. I hope someone does one day it would be really nice to my screen in the dark.

      @@TheVetUk Oh, right after I posted that comment I found a brand that makes these quality backlight VMUs with insane memory. The brand is called DreamWare Enterprise for Dreamcast. They even make wireless controllers for the Dreamcast with a dongle similar to the GameCube's wave bird dongle. I went in and bought both the VMU and wireless controller setting me back close to 100$.

    Do you know how much longer does a charge will last now ?
    I guess it will also take a while to recharge but yes anything is better than replacing CR2032 batteries all the time.
