The user interface (UI) of the VMU Pro has been showcased, providing a streamlined and intuitive way to manage save files. Users will be able to easily navigate through their saved games, transfer data, and even organize files directly on the device. The color screen adds a new layer of interactivity, making it easier to view and manage save data compared to the monochrome display of the original VMU.
In addition to save management, the VMU Pro offers new features such as MP3 playback, turning it into a multifunctional device. This is a significant upgrade over the original VMU, which was primarily used for saving game data and playing mini-games.
