;SoftVMS
:The first VMU emulator, originally named simply Visual Memory System. Supports a heckton of systems, but after version 1.7, the only port distributed with compiled binaries is Dreamcast. Extant documentation is close to zero. The most up-to-date compiled binary one can find online seems to be the MS-DOS port of version 1.8, wrongly [http://www.emu-france.com/?wpfb_dl=50 archived in Emu-France] under Windows. Sound emulation does not seem to work.
;ElysianVMU
;Visual Memory Emulator
