help Sega Dreamcast Controller FAQ
Does the standard Sega Dreamcast Controller really have six buttons and a rotary dial?
The official Dreamcast pad has four face buttons, A, B, X, and Y, plus an analog stick, D-pad, Start button, and analog L and R triggers. It does not have a rotary dial, and the six-button layout belongs to other Sega controllers.
What does the VMU slot on the Dreamcast Controller do?
The slot accepts a Visual Memory Unit, or VMU, which stores Dreamcast saves and can show game information on its small screen. A VMU provides 128 KB of storage and can also make sounds in supported games. [Sega controller diagram](https://sns.sega.jp/sp/dl/dreamcast_fb.pdf)
Does the Sega Dreamcast Controller include vibration?
The standard controller has no built-in rumble motor. Sega's separate Jump Pack vibration unit fits into an expansion slot on the controller, alongside accessories such as the VMU.
Can I use a Sega Dreamcast Controller on a PC?
Not directly, because the original pad uses Sega's Dreamcast connector rather than USB. A Dreamcast-to-USB adapter can map its analog stick, D-pad, four face buttons, Start button, and L and R triggers for PC games or emulators.
