The Jump Pack (referred to as the Vibration Pack in Europe and the Puru Puru Pack (ぷるぷるパック) in Japan) is a insertable accessory for the Dreamcast controller's expansion ports. When placed in the controller, it allow compatible games to give force feedback to the controller, a concept pioneered by Nintendo with the Nintendo 64.
Contents
Hardware
The Jump Pack is similar in appearance to a VMU, though has no screen, buttons or memory capabilities. The accessory is bulkier at the back, meaning the preferred position is to place it in the second second expansion slot (some third party alternatives are built in such a way where this is not necessary). Because the Jump Pack is removable, it can be placed in a number of other Dreamcast controllers - for example, in theory it could be placed inside the Dreamcast Gun giving the controller a more realistic feel when firing. However, it does not work with the Dreamcast Arcade Stick, Race Controller, and Dreamcast Twin Stick.
Dreamcast was the last console to have a removable vibration pack. All future consoles have had the technology built in to the controller.
List of compatible games
In contrast to the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation which received their vibration options some years after going on sale, the Dreamcast's Jump Pack was available from the beginning, and so is widely used across its library of games. Support is usually only omitted in game genres where vibration would make no sense - the only optional peripheral that is more widely used is the Visual Memory Unit.
