3DO ZONE Forums

I finally figured out how to compile a 3DO program using 'Arm Software Developer Toolkit v2.50'. It will complain about the header files. The problem is they are in Mac format; which confuses the hell out of the compiler. Once they are converted to windows format, everything works fine. I created a ...

Does the 3DO devkit contain any converter for 3DO fmvs? There doesn't appear to have been any standard for fmvs on the 3DO back in the day and no converter for any of the formats has been made. http://multimedia.cx/mmentry-2006-06-25.html http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/Wing_Commander_3_BUN http:/...

Sweet, I disappear for a long time and come back to see this! Great news! I still have my Basilisk development environment set up, so I will look at cleaning that up and sharing it as a pre-built development environment. It can nearly be done on a PC. I'm using Arm Developer Suite 1.2, and with a f...

Not at all, it worked like a charm! Please note you have been awarded a new rank title.

That's awesome!

3DO Experience wrote:THE NEW VERSION WORKED!!!!

That's great. Did you have any problems with the new version?

I'm in the process of trying to get the Arm ADS 1.2/SDT 2.11a/2.50 compilers working on Windows. The ADS will compile and link the Bounce example, but can't create an aif formatted file. The SDT versions take the same command line options, so they're probably close to the 3DO version, but they choke...

Out of interest what software would be needed to write a new game for the 3DO. Do you have to use the mac toolkit software or can software be written in C++ on a PC and compiled to run on the 3DO some how. Excuse my question but I'm not a programmer just asking for a friend who is :D Ideally you ne...

I uploaded the latest version. This will definitely write the rom tags.

http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/9166/orbv.png No luck here either *sniff*. I found a bunch of character images inside the disc, check them out here: http://emuconsoleexploitnews.blogspot.com/2010/06/orbatak-cancelled-3do-arcade-game.html I've seen that before, can't remember what caused it. If you...

It could be done with something like the Beagle board ( http://beagleboard.org/ ); which does have an ARM processor and an OpenGL ES chipset. But, how do you make it a '3DO' console? The obvious choice would be to sell some sort of 'personality module' that would turn it into a 3DO, and also allow i...

Ok I went step by step with the instructions you sent me. Still nothing. Maybe it's this laptop. I'll try again when I get my PC up again. I didn't even think to ask before... Is it not running in FreeDo or on a real 3DO? If it's failing on a 3DO, what speed are you burning the CD at, and with what...

Here's a full list of steps: Here's the english version of OperaFS[DE]Compler: http://www.mediafire.com/?tm1vjze2mif Here's the homebrew release: http://narod.ru/disk/1528979000/3DO_Homebrew_pack_1.rar.html For orbatak: Used the decompiler on the homebrew release (or Game Guru) to create PARCE_3DO* ...

Ok I've tried as many ways as I can. Even took the Game Guru, decompiled & recompiled then tried to sign and it didn't work. Obviously the thing works because you gave am image that did but it's either me or this crappy old laptop I'm forced to work on right now. I'll wait for the finished version....

Well I don't know what you are doing different, I have tried so many different things with three different images and this last batch stays the same size but never loads. What are trying it with? If you're trying any of the SDK images, you'll have to replace everything in the system folder (except ...

EDIT: I keep ending up with files 1.72GB no matter what image I use. It doesn't even matter what size the original iso is. I uploaded a debug version which doesn't have the problem: http://www.rastersoft.net/3DO/3DOEncryptDebug.rar Probably uninitialized memory, or something. I upped another full v...

Thanks for testing. I'll throw that one in the kit.

Still not working. :( Can you try this one: http://www.rastersoft.net/3DO/3DOEncrypt.rar or http://www.rastersoft.net/3DO/3DOEncryptMinGW.rar This is just the 3DOEncrypt program, but it's been compiled hopefully without the need for the libraries. Or, you might need: http://www.microsoft.com/downlo...

AH!!!! I can't get it to work I keep getting "The system cannot execute the specified program."! It looks like you need this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9B2DA534-3E03-4391-8A4D-074B9F2BC1BF&displaylang=en I posted an updated version, which shouldn't require the Visual ...

A working version of the toolkit can be downloaded from: http://www.rastersoft.net/3DO/3DOHomebrewSigning.rar Source code is also included for anyone interested in how it works. All that should be required is to run the tool on a 3DO iso. Iso's created with OperaFS[DE]Compiler will need to use the g...

Here's the results of my encryption toolkit: http://www.rastersoft.net/3DO/HomebrewToolkit.rar I took the homebrew released CD, changed the banner screen and removed mnemonic's intro. This was all done by decompiling and recompiling the CD with the OperaFS[De]Compiler. OperaFS[De]Compiler doesn't ge...

Orbatak might not be the best test since it is possible that it would look for the special hardware for the controls. I know it works in the emulator but it is just an emulator. I have a copy of just obit in iso from before the homebrew disc came out it you want that. You can PM me and I'll give it...

Applying this to the orbatak iso enabled it to boot to the banner screen, but it went to the 3DO logo and startup screen after that. My guess is there's a problem with the signatures, since the key for it hasn't been fixed. I had to replace the boot_code, os_code and banner screen with those from th...

I'm able to generate a working key for the disc_label rom_tags and boot (This is the 64 byte value stored at 0x900 on the homebrew/game guru disks). It's simply a matter of combining: First 0x84 bytes of the cd image (disc_label) The table located at 0x800 on the cd image (rom_tags). This is variabl...

The signatures are just md5 checksums of the 16 sectors. I ran md5sums on a 32k block full of 'iamaduck' and got the same value posted above. Test.bin fe5b2229c782bd04e680de55cc238725 Any idea about using the provided values to sign something? I need to sign this file http://www.rastersoft.net/Sign....

SIGNATURES contains a signature for every sector. Each 16 byte line in the signatures file represents 16 2048 byte sectors. An entire 16 sectors of 'iamaduck' is encoded as: FE 5B 22 29 C7 82 BD 04 E6 80 DE 55 CC 23 87 25 There are a few rows with all zeros. The blocks containing the signatures is o...

I'm starting to tear apart a few of the smaller 3DO games to find out what is encrypted. Alex Troosh wrote a utility to display the misc_code RSA: http://altmer.arts-union.ru/3DO/downloads/others/UnGroup.zip in system/kernel/misc_code is an offset to a 64 byte RSA signature. In Putt Putt it was 0x00...

I'm sure this will impress the few people that understand what that program is.

Wow, looking good. Now how about the demo with the scrolling houses?

bitrate wrote:I like unreleased and early versions of 3DO games too.

Wow, nice collection. Will those games play on a normal 3DO system, or do they only run on a debug station?

I haven't looked at the encryption enough to know how feasible this is, but it's sounding less-so than what I was thinking. I don't think that Mnemonic changed any of the 'encrypted' files (system files or BannerScreen). As, WindowsKiller stated, it sounds like only the file system 'hash' or ID val...

I had an idea for a bootloader, but it depended on being able to recompile an ISO. To make sure I'm getting this straight, nobody has been able to get a recompiled ISO to run on anything other than FreeDO WIP 1.7? Yep. A valid directory table can be copied to the disk but, the directory table does ...
