3DO ZONE Forums

I figured I would download the FreeDO emulator one more time and try and see if maybe I can get it working with some games this time. I only have one question though, where is the best way to get ISO images or cheap copies of games to try out?

I used a Sony Trinitron Wega for my classic gaming consoles when I was still buying consoles it actually was a kick as tv for old school gaming it had S-video and component inputs. It was also good for my Laserdiscs playback. Currently I do all my gaming on my Toshiba Laptop and the built in screen ...

and people are constantly porting 16bit and 32bit era games down to NES so why can't it go the other direction? I think it goes back to the 3DO not having the same following as Sega and Nintendo which is why you see Sonic on SNES and Mario on Sega but and everything else showing up on NES even Super...

well that is for me to evaluate based on my personal tastes which is not that hard for me cuz I not surprisingly know my own tastes quit well.

Anything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. depending on how you set your 3DO collecting goals, 3DO can be easy compared to other platforms. Say you just wanted PAL releases, 3DO would be a doddle compared to Saturn, SNES, PS1 etc... Well for me it would be very limited, first I would ...

my favorite anime where Project A-ko, Wrath of the Ninja, Project A-ko the Vs, Iria, Macross, Slayers, Ronin Warriors, Little Nemo, Transformers The Movie, Masterforce, Victory, Sailor Moon, Digimon, Vampire Hunter D, Dragon Ball, Z, GT, and I used to watch Patlabor the Mobile Police but the one I h...

Kansas. the dead center of the US, when people talk about the middle of no where they usually mean Kansas. I left a long time ago but that was where I grew up. I am now back in the Midwest but I relocated to Nebraska this time. Everyone in Kansas is behind the times, traveling to the state it like g...

I am not familiar with the term aces is that good or bad?

last movie I watched was Thor, it was just ok not good not bad just ok. I also finally watched The Time Machine all the way through for the first time. I never could finish it because the original was such a bore I had a hard time believing this one would be any good. But in the end it was actually ...

Kendo Rage - SNES A Side scrolling um martial arts type game I think based on an anime or at least very anime in style stars a girl on her way to school who has to fight monsters and ghosts along the way has cutscene and looks very anime-ish. HARD though and not very forgiving but still very cool s...

Cosmic Carnage- Sega 32X A one on on fighting game similar to SF, SS, and the countless other clones. The thing is you are on a space ship with a bunch of space pirates and the ship is gonna explode any minute and you have to kill everyone off in order to get to the only escape pod and save your ow...

I never liked the regular Mega Man games, to unforgiving and brutal. I only really ever liked X and that was about it for me. I do get the following the little dude has I used to play all the games as they came out and enjoyed the cartoons a lot even, but being honest I really never did care for the...

Yeah I live in the US where Amiga never really did take off. Commodore was a lot bigger and I had two of those the c-64 and 128, but Amiga I just emulate on my pc as my interest is more curiosity than devotion. I should clarify I don't just live in the US where Amiga was rare, I live in KS where eve...

well then maybe I might give it another try but even if I do it won't be for a long time cuz I won't be going out of my way to find it.

OK keep in mind I had the Sega CD version I don't know if there are any differences but that could be a factor. All I remember was I never did figure out how to play it or I kept dieing too much either way that really is all I remember.

Ok here I go my top twenty all time favorite video games. IN no particular order mind you cuz I hate raking stuff. 1. Final Fantasy 7 -Playstation/PC (Played both versions both were good) 2. Super Mario Bros. 3- NES/SNES/GBA (Original is great but my favorite was SNES cuz of the save function) 3. Me...

the problem with emulators on consoles and in general is usually the programmers are too interested in emulating the hardware perfectly instead of getting the games to run even if they have to cheat. What would be even cooler than just another console emulator would be pick out the top ten best NES ...

if two guys who played this game to the end can't even remember how to beat it no wonder I had such a hard time my first time playing and I didn't even have manual or anything just popped it in and took off after about 20 minutes of solid confusion and frustration I tossed the game in the trash and ...

Personally, I have found it to be more difficult to collect for than other systems. I can totally agree with this, in all my years video game collecting, scouring thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales, used video game shops, pawn shops, etc, I have NEVER seen a working complete 3DO console ever. ...

this thread reminds me of the time on Psych when this FBI agent shows up and Lassiter is all "what color is that suit" and the FBI guys replies "Black" and Lassiter, wearing a black suit says "Funny it looks blacker than black" and he is told by the FBI guy it is 'FBI Black'

I am not really that familiar with the different models but I will say my most favorite brand associated with 3DO is Panasonic as they are one of my favorite electronics makers next to Magnavox, JVC, and Sony.

my primary interest is in Betamax, Super VHS, LaserDisc, and CED with VCD and Super 8 coming in close to last. For video games the most obscure stuff I am into is TG16, 3DO, 32X, and the Atari-Era stuff like Intelivision, Colecovision, and the like.

XEXYZ NES, a weird but awesome sci-fi game that mixes action, side scrolling platforming, and SHMUPS all into one kick ass game. You are this little elf looking dude and you shoot giant spiders, other elf looking creatures and tons of other weird looking creatures and you get power ups from faeries...

for me I found it was just easier to write the Wii off as a fluke and emulate my games on my PC instead. Just before Wii came out I was one of the biggest and blindest Nintendo fanboys ever, goto nintendoworldreport.com and look for my user name and see how bad I was. I used this same name and 1 ali...

it is perfectly acceptable trust me I used to frequent a site devoted to 32X so I get it.

ok here it is. I am not sure what it is all about but read up on it.

keep in mind that was how I felt about the console back then, when I was 12, not how I feel about it know. Honestly now being such a huge nostalgia nut and a major Atari fan I think I would love to go back and revisit Jaguar now. Or sometime down the road.

No it isn't that the way it works is you HAVE to link your Wii to a Nintendo.com account, as long as you do that they will transfer but most people are too lazy to take the extra step and register with Nintendo online. That was what they told me anyways. I did go through the steps of linking my acco...

like I said it is brand new, everything the laptop the burner everything actually it is a Blu Ray drive it just happens to burn cd and dvd also but will not go below 24x. But I don't think I said it was because I was running Windows 7 I only meant it was because my hardware was too new. And I am run...

Will do.
