gonna give emulating another chance
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?

You can buy games from eBay, amazon, estarland, gooddealgames... ect and then rip them into ISOs. There are also games up for sale by members in our Open Marketplace. I might suggest maybe buying a sampler disc so you can try out different games.

it will if you get the version that (i think) has the need for an aspi layer removed. Find freedo alpha 2.1, it wont be on the official freedo site. It's on a russian site, it's legit though. It's the guy who was actually doing most of the work once the other devs got perma-busy. It will run faster if you make an image of the disc. dont worry when you put the disc in a pc, yeah you wont see any files. still make an image of the disc. It will be good.

Agreed, the emulator comes nowhere close to the real thing.3DOKid wrote:The emulator is fine and dandy. I think later releases did away with the need for the ASPI driver. It should just boot a 3DO CD. I used the emulator all the time, but honestly, the real thing is, as Trip would say, "The R.E.A.L thing"

Some of the later Russian releases of Freedo are awesome. You have to throw a decent PC at it to get the best from it mind you.phatrat1982 wrote:is that just personal preference or does the emulator underperform or something? Yeah I want a real console I do but I can't afford one right now butI do want to try out some of the games.
One of things I didn't like about earlier releases was the changes they made to the graphics output. Smoothing and aliasing and stuff, the games didn't look 3DO to me. It's what put's me off some PS1 emulators. Sure they look a bit better, but the experience isn't authentic.
But it's not bad. I prefer the real machine, but... (that's just me )
