3DO ZONE Forums

For some reason whenever I put a 3DO disk into my CD drive there seem to be no files on the disk, nor if I rip the CD to ISO, I can't seem to open up the ISO file. Is there any trick to it? I have a little experiment I want to run.

Uncd-rom is one little app that you can use for that and i think windowkiller has made one too but my memory is awful!
btw every experiment on 3do disks is a waste of time,there is not much that you can do!

Thanks, that worked like a charm, I just noticed that the files on the DOS version of Starfighter are identical to the ones on the PSX version, was just hoping I could borrow a few files from the 3DO version to get the DOS version looking great, but the 3DO version uses a drastically different file set up. Oh well was worth a shot.

Yes, I did:

Looks awful but is nice and easy to use, not having to deal with the command line.

Why? With Altmer's OperaFScompiler you can get files from disks and compile them again for playing on the emulator (with the patched bios) or the original console, using some files from the other disks. However, I still can't make that one
Then, you can convert music from game CDs with "Zstreamreader" and look and convert images with "3doresexplorer". And of course nothing stops you from installing 3DO development programs inside virtualbox and change every file as you want.
So there are a lot of things you can do =D
For example - find a nude girl photo in "Alone in the dark 2" in root directory =D

really?

Yes. I had even began a topic about such interesting things on our russian forum. Nude girl in AITD2, secret car in Autobahn Tokio which can't be opened in the game (actually I found out that it could be opened but only through the Game Guru), the secret moonlander game in Icebreaker (included in Mnemonic's Homebrew disk #1), beta versions of menus in Po'eD - these are all things that I had found by myself. I guess there are a lot of such secret files that can't be obtained by any other way than decompiling game CDs.

And sorry for my bad english if there are some mistakes

Oh wow

I'm going to have a look.
