Hey that's great! Nice to see some substantial progress in the 3do emu scene. Just wondering... Do you think it would be benificial to create some kind of plugin system... Probably not yet though huh. Anyway, awesome job and keep it up.

Eikef7:I don't think awright69 and is team are ready to talk about this kind of feature.

Right now the only thing they do is try to get something on the screen

In about probably a year or two we wil be able to have info on this kind of thing

"Hello.

First of all we like to say thanks to all people, who keep tracking our project.

As you can read at previous posts we will not be anymore open source project, therefore we've take decision to change our host.

It will not be anymore at sourceforge.net .

Our new web currently under construction, and as soon it will be finished we will let you know.

It can be found at http://www.freedo.org . "

Hmm... I sorta forgot about this emulator. Three questions:

1) What are the best 3DO games?

2) How big are the games? Not asking for where to download them!

3) Is this new release going to emuate any games?

1.I don't know what type of game you like but for myself Need 4 Speed 1 Road Rash 1 Megarace 1 and Star Figther all games that have a pc or psx version

2.Their on CD-Rom so probably around 600mb

3. Well as the images show it does emulates somethings on some games but i'm not sure if games are playable , probably tough.

I had a goldstar verison and made that one looked so sweet ^_^, then I sold it lol. Then I missed it and go another one on ebay (not a goldstar though :()

But anyway, I still have most of the games for it... or did I sell them on ebay.... shit I don't know lol

But of the games that I played I loved
Super Street fighter 2 Turbo
The Horde
ShockWave 1
Shockwave 2
Samurai Showdown
and a few others. This system had potiental but it had a fucked up controller and was way overpriced when it originally hit.

Man I was waiting for the addon too, so it was gonna be at least an equal with the jaguar ni terms of power... :( Then they stopped the addon and tried to make it a new console but scraped it :(

Mmm Road Rash rocked too ^__^

You've forgot Star Control II - 3DO version is da best !!!
Captain Quazar (ok, i know there's PC port but it sucks)

SSF2T definitely better than original arcade version
Samurai Shodown looks like NeoCD version copy but it loads much much faster.

I have all 3DO software + R.E.A.L. one and waiting for SDK...


P.S. I found something interersting inside the system ROM:

Does anybody know how to get this test mode to work


I've also found some sound samples and text that looks like command line
tools help strings

-c check-repair
-d defragment
-m mount
-u unmount
-v verbose
-y yes


Defragment ? mount ? Smells like hard drive :)
