Re: Was There Ever Supposed to be a ShockWave 3?
Interesting question. Without further evidence it can probably be assumed that the developers hoped that there would either be a third game or an add-on pack like Operation Jumpgate, so left the ending as a sort of cliffhanger. Did EA want one though? Well, they didn't even bother to port 2 to the S...

How to unlock the extras in D Director's Cut
As some of you may know, Disc A of D - Director's Cut contains two options that are inaccessible by default. It's been posted how to glitch into them, but I haven't seen anywhere in English how to properly unlock them. Here's how: "D" Goes Overseas: You will need the original Japanese version of D t...

Re: Road Rash saying not enough memory to play music
This was a known problem back in the day. There were a few games, Road Rash being one of them, that misbehaved on Goldstar and/or FZ-10 models (no idea about the Sanyo). I don't know if a fixed version was ever released, but I suspect not.

Re: Getting all the beetles in D

Re: Out of this World: 3DO still got it
While it's a good port, I really don't like the graphic "enhancements" made to the 3DO version. Some of the backgrounds are too detailed and painting like compared to the originals, and don't mesh well with the simple polygon look of the original game. IMO, the anniversary editions did a better job ...

Re: Iron Angel of the Apocalypse: The Return
Use Phoenix instead? It works fine in that, the only potential issue being that the emulator is in Russian. Viktor is aware of the problem with the game in 4do but that's the only option I know of until it's fixed.

Try selling it on ebay if you want to find the value but my guess is not much. Rare does not always equal valuable, especially with lesser known PC stuff it seems.

Re: Doom on 3DO

Re: Top Scratches, the bane of Retro Gamers and CD's
Unless your games are actually not working properly, don't do anything. All you'll be doing is risking causing further damage by trying to fix something that isn't even a problem in most cases. The error correction can cope with a surprising amount of dots, and not all of them are user inflicted dam...

Re: Stepdown transformers
How can I tell if I have a Japanese 3do? The FZ-10's easy: Japanese text in the intro screens + the memory manager is in Japanese. Just let it play with no disc in. To be honest, unless you consciously bought one, you probably don't have a Japanese model. FZ-1: Not so sure but again, there's probab...

Re: Japanese FZ-1 console not reading backups.
Cleaning the laser might help, then again it might not. My FZ-10 will read CD-Rs if the wind is blowing in the right direction but my FZ-1 has never liked them.

Weird FZ-10 laser problem.
Ok, I recently got hold of a Japanese FZ-10, and it has some issues. Virtually every Japanese and US game works just fine, however it has problems reading some European discs. From the noises that it makes it sounds as if it's constantly having to reseek. To make things that much stranger though the...

Re: 3DO FZ-1 - Noise when lens moves
Both of my 3DOs are noisy but yours sounds different in that video. My only real concern would be that the noise after you load the disc tray sounds rather like the laser banging against the stops, and that's not too good in the long run. That said, my Mega CD has done it to an extent for years and ...

Re: Games recoded for PAL
Rise of the Robots was one. IIRC it, of all games, may have been the only 3DO game to fill the screen on a PAL 3DO.
EDIT: Another World must have been as well. The US version (Out of this World) has sound sync issues on PAL consoles.

The 3DO version of AitD 2 is awful, but the PS1 version is ugly and awful. Texture maps for the sake of texture maps. So to say that the PS1 version is graphically inferior to the 3DO? Aesthetically I'd say so. The problem was that they slapped texture maps on to the same low polygon models that we...
