[[File:7132-3do.jpg|thumb|The 3DO console]]The '''[[gametech:3DO Interactive Multiplayer|3DO Interactive Multiplayer]]''' was a game console released by the [[wikipedia:The_3DO_Company|3DO Company]] in 1993. Due to the unpopularity of the system, the emulation scene is almost non-existent. However, there are a couple of emulators available.

===Comparison===
* ;Phoenix is a :A newer, closed-source project. It is the most compatible 3DO emulator, but is completely in Russian (you can download a an English translation patch to translate it to English [http://www.rlauncher.com/forum/showthread.php?4160-Help-with-3DO-Phoenix-2-8 here]). Most of the settings are translated [[:File:3DO_Phoenix_Translated.png|in this picture.]].* ;4DO is a :A fork of the FreeDO emulation project, but the standalone version is only available for Windows. The website has been shut down and the most recent release is a year old.<ref name="4DOSite">http://web.archive.org/web/20161213021202/http://www.fourdo.com/</ref> It can [[Overclocking|overclock]] up to 400% of the original 3DO clock speed, which makes low frame rate titles (e.g. Doctor Hauzer) much more playable. It allows upscaling the game in a higher internal resolution by up to 2x, but the game is still only rendered at 480p. Severe audio glitches are very common no matter what settings are used. A libretro port is also available, though overclocking options are not present.* ;3d'oh seems :Seems to have lower compatibility. However, most of the more popular 3DO titles are compatible. 3dIt'oh s a source-only release, so it has to be compiled from source.* ;[[MAME]] loads :Has four <code>3do</code> drivers (two for the NTSC/PAL models, one for the biosBIOS, commercial and one for the unreleased M2 version). Commercial games do not load in the drivers yet (as it is reported as not working and the sound as unimplemented) but it has support for 3DO MAME supports the arcade hardware and the canceled M2 console.
