The 3DO console

The 3DO Interactive Multiplayer was a games console produced by the 3DO Company in 1993/1994. Due to the unpopularity of the system, the emulation scene is almost non-existent. However, there are a couple of emulators available.

Emulators

Name Operating System(s) Latest Version Active Recommended
4DO Windows 1.3.2.3 ?
3d'oh Linux SVN

4DO is a fork of the FreeDO emulation project. It's definitely the most compatible 3DO emulator. Sadly, it's Windows exclusive. It has quite a few features – such as the ability to overclock up to 400% of the original 3DO clock speed, which makes low-framerate titles (e.g. Doctor Hauzer) much more playable. Sadly, severe audio glitches are very common no matter what settings you use. There's also an option to render the game in a higher internal resolution, but it can only go up to 2x, which means the game is still only rendering at 480p.

3d'oh seems to have lower compatibility. However, most of the more popular 3DO titles are compatible.

Note: 3d'oh has to be compiled via its source code.
