change the battery in the VMU, thats the only thing I can think of..

Well, the DC controller comes out really easily, and if you knock it out it says that. 🙂 So check that out. I dunno.

Try the controller in another port and see what happens. If it continues, probably controller. If it stops, possibly bad port on the Dreamcast. Hard to say for certain though.

Sounds like a bad/dying controller. Is it the Sega one? If so, try it in another port or try another controller instead. Strip the system down to the DC and one single Sega brand controller.

If it stops happening then - add the other peripherals back one at a time until you find the culprit.
