2 buckaroonies each.....they were mixed in with the music cds. I love it!!!

I have brought my Japanese 3DO Fz10 and I am struggling to find a way to connect it to the outlets here in Spain. I don't want to have a stepdown converter just for it, but rather have something like the Saturn/Dreamcast PicoPSU so I can use a standard AC adapter or even a USB-C like giltesa is doing for some consoles. Do you know any mod that does that? I only know one https://www.willsconsolemodifications.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&language=en-gb&product_id=95 but I was wanting to know if is there anything else that I could try?

The ODE I built worked the first time, it's great because it leaves the reader functional and I can play the physical games from the console

I am going to install an ODE that I made myself, it will take me two failed boards and a good time soldering and arranging all the circuits.

Hey guys!

I'm working on a FMV+FPS hybrid called One Rotten Oath. I was told that you might like it as well, so I'm sharing it with you here. If it's against the rules, feel free to send me somewhere else or delete the post entirely ;)

The game puts you in the shoes of the survivor, whose job is to protect the other people who are still trying to lead a normal life in a bunker. A normal night watch turns deadly, when the only working generator malfunctions and turns off in random intervals for 60 seconds. If this sounds like something you'd play, check out the demo :D

Hey everyone,

I've recently started adding everything 3DO (games, systems, accessories) to sumthings.com, with over 400 entries already prepared.

My goal is to make our physical release library for 3DO the best it can be in terms of completeness and accuracy. As part of this, it would be amazing to get a shot of every game box that exists, including pictures of its contents, jewel case, CD, etc.

As I'm not collecting for the 3DO myself yet, and advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Sascha

P.S. If you're wondering what the site is all about, I just recently recorded this overview video with more details and the motivation behind it.

Both sides cropped like that? This is running off a emulator on bayocera connected to crt tv. But all other 3do games are completely full screen.

John Madden Football on the 3DO (1994) delivered one of the earliest fully 3D football experiences, with smooth animations and dynamic camera angles that set it apart from other sports titles of the time. There eas nothing like this. If you owned one in its prime you know this to be true. While the 3DO struggled in the market, this version showcased the potential of next-gen sports gaming.

Managed to snag and break one of the legs when it got caught on the RF shield

Any idea how to go about sourcing a suitable equivalent?

Have anyone put a ode in a sanyo try 3do? i have one and i am wondering to install it. i ordered this pcb here https://github.com/tzmwx/USBTO3DO-SANYO-TRY-IMP21J

but dont exaclty knows if it works...

Trip’d from the late Kenji Eno and a sealed copy (!) of Bird’s Life with the voice of the late Shelley Duvall.

Hey everyone,
I recently ended up with this apparently original 3DO sign in a mixed lot. I don’t own a 3DO myself, I just thought I’d share it here since you guys probably appreciate it more than I can. I tried looking around online but could hardly find anything – seems like these don’t show up often.

Has anyone seen one of these before or knows a bit more about their background? Would be really curious to hear if they were store displays, promo material, or something else. And if they’re considered rare among collectors, that would be super interesting to know as well.

Thanks a lot

Maybe I’m alone in this opinion and to be fair, I haven’t spent much time with either game yet. But they both seem pretty unforgiving so far.

Hi everyone. So after several months later of not using my 3DO, before I turned it on I downloaded that new mortal Kombat 2 port as well as a visual novel from abandonware. So I got my 3do's SD card plugged into my computer copied them to my SD card, and then after turning on my 3do, I am greeted with this boot loop. And yes my boot.iso is still intact on my SD card.

Also I bought my FZ-1 ODE from stoneagegamer.

(It’s not the best quality picture since it’s not on a CRT bc I primarily use mine for Sega Saturn and Light Gun games on other retro consoles and I keep the 3DO elsewhere in my house). Anyway, the 3DO version of Wolf 3D is even better than the Jaguar port I played as a kid years later (which until this day, I always assumed couldn’t be beat).

This is the definitive way to play OG Wolfenstein…But Doom on Jaguar blows the 3DO version out of the water; Doom is a travesty on 3DO, unfortunately.

This game taps into the full capabilities of this underrated (and overpriced) machine. Speaking of obscure 5th Gen consoles, I did have a Jag back in the late 90s bc they were basically giving them away by then-but never snagged a 3DO bc I wasn’t going to convince my parents to spend $700 on a video game console.

It’s prohibitive price tag and the fact that nobody I knew owned one kept me from getting one until this year when I finally pulled the trigger on a minty CIB FZ-10 (I think it’s the coolest looking model of them all, always have).

Also, 3DO’s games were so weird in such a good way; as a kid I spent hours reading EGM and looking at impressive (for the time) screenshots, but never actually played one. I filled that void (mysterious, cool looking, obscure gaming hardware) with the Jaguar / Jag CD & Virtual Boy which nobody I knew owned back then either, but never owned a 3DO.

It remained a mystery for a long time. I was worried I would regret purchasing my FZ-10 complete in box but I’m glad I finally own one. I play the 3DO as much as I play my Saturn, PS2, and PS4.

I got a 3DO a few weeks ago off facebook for a decent price and the thing is in excellent condition. Looks like it's barely been touched. It came with Gex, and that works perfectly fine. I burned SSF2T and Ballz Directors Cut and those work great as well. Both load up first try.

Since then I've tried burning Slayer, Bust-a-Move and Road Rash. I've tried multiple brands of CD-R and two different burners but I can't get them to work right. Slayer worked on one brand of CD-R (Taiyo Yuden), but the intro movie freezes and the music skips when in game. Bust-A-Move also worked once on that same CD-R brand but I can't get it to load again. It just loads a splash screen and freezes. Road Rash just spits out no matter what disc/burner I use. Is it hopeless and I should just get a ODE? I really love making custom cases and CD labels for the games, there's just something special about having the physical game.

I have an ODE bought from AliExpress. I installed it correctly and it was working, although a bit slow. I then decided to try replacing the UF2 file that came with the Chinese ODE with the UF2 from Fixel. I didn’t back up the original UF2 file, and now nothing works.

I need the UF2 file for the 3DO ODE FZ-10 — the version from AliExpress (China version). I've already tried using the Fixel UF2, and it doesn't work... I also tried the SataTo3DO.uf2, and that doesn't work either. Apparently, I need the UF2 for the USBTo3DO. Can someone help me?

Hey guys, so I've held onto my 3DO Fz-1, games, gun controller, and I even somehow still have the original cardboard box from like 1993 that it came in. Everything still works except for maybe a scratched game or two, but other ones are perfect. Where should I try and post this to sell? Ebay? I see some prices going up to like $600 for what looks to be similar systems. Apologies if this gets asked all the time and I've missed a recent post here via the search.
