found this on reddit.. not sure if it will help but here it is
Your virtual memory card (“VMU”) is full, so you either need to swap the vmu or delete saves in one of the vmus. To do this while playing a Dreamcast game, press and hold all 4 face buttons (a, b, c/x and d/y) and START at the same time, this will open the Dreamcast’s VMU manager where you can select from your 4 memory cards and delete saves to free up space.
Thanks i will try this out as far as im again on the oportunity to play some Pyra ^^

Still fresh, damnit!
I'll note that you'll only have four VMUs inserted if you've got jousticks in each port, because the VMU slot is in the joystick. I don't know how many joysticks Reicast simulates being plugged in.
ISTR you can get at the VMU manager by switching the system on without a game in then selecting it from the menu. I don't know how easy it is to get Riecast into that mode however.

You have got the VMU files within the folder reicast/.local/share/reciast
I recommend to copy the files to a new one wit different name an then delete the saved games in the original files. This way you don't lose any saved game, you just need to rename files again to acess older saved games.
In order to delete files is very simple bu not obvious. Run reicast and instead of selecting a game file just cancel. You will run the bios then and will be able to manage the VMU.

Thanks for the Tip: today I dit run the bios and dit copy some save files to the second memory card , so it’s should now work ^^
I did read the Info to late that i can activate a State Window whit "c" so maybe its time for another Dreamcast Video but now whit FPS?
And i wonder how much different there is between the Pandora (1ghz) Version and the Pyra Release, whe are still struggeling whit Audio Driver over CPU, so its allready a miracle whe get that playable Emulation, but i cant test on my Pandora as its a 700 mhz Device and my right Shoulderbutton Trigger is broken...
EDIT: To show FPS i need to change the cfg file, but what dos "C" show? something whit CPU, is it CPU Work then?

I dit input the showFPS in the Reicast Config File, but nothing happened, i dont know, did i something wrong? i put a few sentences after the = 1 yes and i think also on but when i did run Sonic Advanture, nothing happened, or would this fps meter only apear after the intro of the game?
I also did try 1, on and yes separatly and in the end I put all 3 in the config file but nothing happened
Im still dont know how to enable fps meter in Reicast, and it might be usefull for Pyra Videos ..

Well it's been a while since there was anything in this thread but I've recently got a Pyra so I thought I'd give this a run out, and I'm having some... issues (may be me being dumb)
This is the current version is the Pyra repo.
To start off with the app fails to load and complains about not having permission to create dragonbox/apps/reicast , this seems to be because it's trying to create the directory in / I got around this by manually creating a dragonbox folder with user permissions in root but shouldn't it be using the home version of dragonbox?
Having got that up and (having found a bios version that works) it now boots, but it sits on the setting date/time screen and doesn't seem to accept any controller or key press from the Pyra, what am I missing?
