It's called Visual Memory Unit ;)

Anyway, homebrew on Dreamcast is very easy. You only make the image about your emulator, demo or any homebrew file and burn it to a CD-R using diskjuggler. Also, check if your Dreamcast wasn't made after 2001 (only if it's american), because these units don't run cd's.

The sticker on the bottom. also look for a number in a circle on the bottom right corner of said sticker. if the number is '1', chances are, it will boot homebrew.

Most of the old classics run very nicely (bubble, bobble, robocop, final fight, tmnt etc). :)
