i think the VMU could have been great if it was not so hard on battrys or it had rechargeable ones (that recharge in the controller). i only really used it one for playing a game, sky’s of arcadia. the mini game was a kid u met in a bar. once he joins you crew, he can do min quest in the vmu, and any treasure he find can be used in the main game, it was great. to great round the battery problem i attached to small lead to where the batterys sould go and connected them to 2 AAA batterys ;)
