3DO ZONE Forums

well it was only a preliminary hack, basically somebody got Sonic 1 Genesis to run on 32X hardware and bypassed the Genesis somehow or something like that. It was not very stable if I remember correctly but he said the only reason he was doing it was to learn the system. I started out trying to prog...

I guess I just never was any good at getting anything done in DOS.

that is the reason I gave up entirely on Sega Saturn, everything is either ultra rare or too expensive. I think I only had 20 or so games when I sold mine and gave up entirely.

This was anther doomed console from the 90's that I read about in magazines only this one went beyond that I never seen a 3DO in my entire life to this day, the only CD-i I ever came across was at a Shop Ko training orientation, and I only seen a Neo Geo in the arcades. BUT I was lucky enough to hav...

HomeBrew on the 32X appears to be alive, I played 2 home brew games one was a port of Sonic the Hedgehog and the other was Wolfenstein and that one was actually pretty good.

I only ever had it for PC and 32X, to be honest I preferred the 32X version for one reason, I didn't have to fiddle with DOS and it's overly complicated command structure and I could never get doom to run on any version of Windows I ever tried it on always crashed. But We were poor I didn't get my f...

you can store them on an SD card and play them back now last I heard, but they are tied to the console they are purchased on. If you sell the Wii the only way to keep your VC games is to call Nintendo and disconnect the account tied to the system and then connect that account to the next console you...

then add that to the list of games I might check out on 3DO someday.

ok I see, that would explain why I never got anywhere cuz I never knew any of that. I always thought it was just random and stupid.The one FMV game I did really get into was called Microcosm, did that get a 3DO port?

yeah I would imagine so. I used to frequent a sega board and a nintendo board and it was funny how on the one board Saturn was talked about as the greatest console everybody should own and the other it was laughed at day in and day out.

thanks for all the replies you guys have been most helpful.

I just have joined so many forums over the years and I usually just bounce around from place to place. Kinda like in real life how I move around all the time. I don't even know what it is I am looking for at the moment mostly just have questions and it is nice to have people to talk to from time to ...

how long I stay depends on how long it takes to get all my questions answered and how friendly the people are and how informative this places becomes.

that is what I did, I had I think like 75 games when I sold my console and I got a lot of money for it that day.

Then I will look for a good arcade stick and look into those 6 button pads. call me crazy but I hated the SNES pad.

thank you for reminding me what why I forgot I even played this game. It was so awful and boring that I convinced myself I never even played any 3DO games and then you reminded me that oh yeah I did get that thing working once.

I am not afraid to admit it but I watched the cartoon when I was a kid, a kid not a teenager mind you, and I don't remember much about it other than (stop starring at me I have 3 sisters sue me) anyways what was I saying? Oh yeah I remember reading reviews for this game way back in the day and alway...

I had this game on Playstation and it was one of the very few games that made me keep my stupid Playstation around for so long. If I ever get a 3DO this will be one of the first games I get. I heard the Saturn version was better but after I sold my Saturn I swore I would never own another as long as...

Back when I used to read about 3DO in EGM magazines this was the game I wanted the most. After the awful Genesis and Sega CD ports I almost gave up on finding a good home port.

this was *the* game that ate all my quarters as a kid right next to good old Mortal Kombat. I have it on my cell phone SNES, GC, had it on Saturn, and would kill to get an original arcade cabinet running this game. If I ever buy a Neo Geo this is the first game I am buying.

I had this game on Sega CD and I must have played it a hundred times and never got past the first level. I never could figure out what the hell was going on. That was my experience with most FMV games I tried so I learned to avoid them, maybe I was playing it wrong I don't know but it seamed to me n...

I have a brand new laptop running windows 7 and it only burns cd's at 24x nothing slower. I always buy good media though so I rarely have problems but cd's are so damn cheap anyways it's nothing to throw a few coasters away.

I have mixed feelings towards VC, honestly and I know people often hate me for saying this but honestly I only bought a Wii just for VC and after I started emulating on my PC I sold the thing and never looked back. I wanted to like it I tried to like it I stood in line in the cold all night at Kmart...

Then I must have gotten confused or something I don't know I just got into emulating a couple of years ago and I sorta went all in head first and have been knee deep in roms and bios files ever since. I do think honestly I will track down a proper console anyways. If for no other reason than to fulf...

OK so then I will see about tracking one down next time I have some money to spend. I have been obsessing over this ever since reading that article all those years ago and for the longest time I was convinced I must have imagined the whole thing. Especially when I search google all that ever comes u...

yeah it looks like there is more activity here, does not guarantee I will get all my questions answered but gives better odds anyways.

I am mostly interested in watching movies via VCD and playing a few games that I do remember reading about, like Gex, Street Fighter, and a few others. But I have a few questions because there are so many old CD based consoles I want to make sure I am not getting confused on which one does what. I a...

now that I think about it maybe I did finally get it working but the game was just so dull I tossed it aside and gave up. After looking at the screen shots posted above it brought back memories. So Maybe I should re-download it and try again but with a different game maybe. I am still kind of new to...

well I can't speak for everyone but to be honest I used to be in the original hardware only camp for ever until I got a Wii specifically for the virtual console and then I got hooked on having all my old classic games in one place so I switched to emulating and never looked back. I find for me it is...

I honestly don't know I think I got into the BIOS and I remember loading up the system menu or something but I never could get any games to play but I gave up and I might try again latter but right now I think I will look for an actual console to mess around with instead. It is like Saturn emulators...
