Linux gets VMU filesystem support

There’s a VMU filesystem support patch released for the Linux kernel:

The only physical VMUs released were limited to 128K of memory but it
was generally believed that Sega planned to introduce devices with
bigger memories and certainly the syntax of the filesystem, which I
call VMUFAT, allows for larger volumes.

Some years ago I contributed a driver for the VMU’s flash and
attempted to contribute one for the filesystem (see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/14/127 for instance).

While it might be too soon to know if it’ll be merged into the mainline kernel, the patch can be found on the Linux Kernel Mailing List.
