3DO ZONE Forums

The 3do port is superior because it plays in a 3do console. 'Nuff said.

Try to find the big lie in there.

"Big hit in the USA" ?

What do I win

I would try reseating all the connectors in the drive. I'm not adept to troubleshooting the ol'3do as my Goldstar has yet to break in over 13 years of ownership... ::Knocks on nearest wood surface:: You should try a search because I think I read of this same problem before!

What a "feet" of technology...

That rocks man! Its cool to hear when people get things working! I wanted to help, but I have a Goldstar...

Well, yes. But for some reason, RR during-race (crappy) songs can only be heard in Panasonic FZ-1, my FZ-10 doesn't play them.

Well, add that to the list of negatives for having a Goldstar 3do!

And finally, I just got Road Rash for the Saturn. Holy shit what an inferior port. The superior aspect is the better framerate, but that's it. It's in lower resolution, music during the races is even worse than the 3DO original , drab colors in the menus, and the sound effects... wow they are so ba...

I kinda fall somewhere in between. I like GTA, to me its like a sports game. I enjoy playing them, but to me they lack a long term draw. Although in that respect I can see why people like it!

Oh and I secretly like the Wisdom Tree games... so bad it's good.

Those games are all so bad, they need not be mentioned

I recently had the pleasure of wasting 12 hours of my life on Final Fantasy 12. I just kept hoping it would get better, then I peeked onto the faqs to see what was coming... nothing... no big plot events... nothing... just endless offline-mmo-hacking hacking hacking. I couldn't take it any more. I'v...

I'd return the thing... the auction says that its fully operational, which it obviously is not. They say 7 days to return for refund. Try not to take the hit for and stick it to the dick who sold you a brick.

Surely you aren't suggesting the 3do could've pulled off a port of Tekken 3?

I sold my first 3do FZ-10 as a wee lad at a yard sale. Realizing my folly, I later picked up a new in box Goldstar in 1999 and rebuilt my collection. Retrogaming is a great thing to pass the time inbetween the AAA releases. But I'm thinking I might sit out a generation for the first time. At least f...

I knew that 30-40 washingtons was too much for busted, incomplete games. Even if they're for the beloved 3do.

Maybe the controllers don't large profits but the console itself does. Its just a pumped up gamecube with a dual media loading drive and no real HD capability, its one cheap mofo.

Does it have a game save file?

I downloaded the .ISO (*gasp!*) and used the above powertool to burn at a slow rate of speed. But I don't know how they read on 3do systems since I have one of the many Goldstar units that don't read them no matter what. I can only say that it read on my PC. Some one else can fill in the blanks on w...

Try this program, and it is originally free:

I burned some games awhile back but I have a Goldstar so its a lost cause... but the games did play from the CD with Freedo so it works in that regard...

My collection is rather limited in the company of this site (only around 25 games, only ones I felt compelled to play). Some would say that their "Shwartz" is bigger than mine.

Yeah Sony did pay off Panasonic to kill the 3do, and steal it for themselves! Look what I found at a thrift store in downtown Tokyo last week: http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/9584/prototype3dosystemra4.jpg It is a working Sony model FZ-PS1 3do development mule! It plays 3do and some early generat...

My brother used to bust my balls about playing 3do in the late 90's along side Playstation and N64. But it had many good games was my argument, even if it was old. Guess who eventually played it and ended up thinking Guardian War is one of the best games ever...

Shockwave 2: Beyond the Gate

I played it and it was a that's all shes got.

Sorry got a little overzealous there guys. That old 3do fanboy burst to the surface... Its been awhile lol.

You guys are right about the lacks of original colors. I tried tonight, and I guess I never thought about what is an original color! You need to enter codes to get the old characters and their "normal" colors. At least this was true for the arcade version. http://www.gamefaqs.com/coinop/arcade/code/...

Oh why 3dokid, you post this. It makes me sad. It shows the M2 had Dreamcast like power and could've been way earlier to the party

Yeah as long as the criteria is met all should be good to go! I think the only difficulty in building a dual purpose machine will be the 3do blaster requiring a VGA Feature Connector, some kind of old vesa crap. That pretty much limits your video cards to really old AGP video cards at best. Unless y...

To avoid complications, you should probably stick to the requirements as much as possible. After all, the 3do Blaster was an unusual piece of hardware. A 3do on a board merely using your computer for input and output. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Compaq-486-DX2-66-DOS-6-21-Win-3-11-Computer-NR_W0QQit...

Literally tap the button, any more than that will get you the Super Turbo outfits. I always end up with a green ryu myself because I always forget.

It was pretty dumb, but I've never heard the audio clip before.

Finally, it sees the light of day. Presenting an unaired 3do Commercial!
