If anyone does know the difference between these two settings, let us know in the comments. There was a non-visual memory card released for the Dreamcast, though these are usually simply called Memory Cards. We’re not entirely sure what the difference between VMS and VMU (Visual Memory Unit) is, as they both seem to mean the same thing in Dreamcast terminology. Light gun emulation is not something we’ve tested yet, but keyboard and mouse should work for games which support that option.Īs for peripherals, you can chose “VMS”, “VMU” or “PURUPURU”. If you choose this and your controller has a vibration feature it may vibrate if the Dreamcast game supports it, but this doesn’t always work.Īs well as controllers, Demul supports some other peripherals that were available for the Dreamcast, namely Keyboards, Light Guns and Mice. The controller in port A has a VMU (memory card) and a Purupuru attached. In the picture above, there’s a controller in port A, but nothing in ports B, C and D. You can choose up to four (although Dreamcast controllers typically only supported two). Port A, B, C and D represent the controller ports on the console, and the boxes underneath list what peripherals are attached. The window lets you configure exactly what controls are attached to your virtual Dreamcast. From the “Config” menu, choose “Maple Device Manager”. Demul can emulate some of these peripherals too. Typically the top one is used for visual memory units and the one underneath is used for things like vibration/rumble packs or the Dreamcast microphone. Dreamcast controllers feature two expansion ports. Maple is the name of the bus that connects a Dreamcast console with its controllers. Don’t forget you will need to configure the Maple Device Manager to play local multiplayer games, so we will take a look at that next. Click on “OK” to close the controller configuration window completely when you are done. You can repeat the process for the other players now too, if you want to play multiplayer, or come back and do those later. If you have a different type of controller you prefer for different games (for instance many gamers like the 360 controller for FPS and driving games but a different controller for fighting games) you can use this box to configure a different set of bindings without needing to reconfigure every time you change controller.Ĭlick on “OK” when you are done configuring your controller. Notice at the bottom of the window there is an “Alternative settings” box. The face buttons are laid out exactly the same as on an Xbox 360/Xbox One controller, although they are coloured differently, and the Xbox 360 controller makes a good substitute for the Dreamcast original. For reference, the original Dreamcast controller looked like this:. So for “UP” you’d press up on your gamepad, or perhaps the up arrow on the keyboard.

You can use keyboard or a suitable USB game controller, you simply need to tell Demul how to map the controller buttons on your pad.Ĭlick on “Joy 1” to configure player ones controller and the window shown below will open.Ĭonfiguring your controller is simplicity itself, just click on the button you want to configure, then press the key on your keyboard or button/stick on your game controller that you want to correspond to that input. Demul can emulate all four controllers, allowing you to play the best of the Dreamcast local multiplayer games. If you read our Introduction to the Dreamcast, you will know that the Dreamcast console had four controller ports. Open the “Config” menu and choose “Controls”. With video configuration out of the way, setting up everything else in Demul is fairly easy.
