;[[4DO]]
: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 many years 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. [[wikipedia:Doctor_Hauzer|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 present only to 2.0x speed (unlike original 4.0x), that still may seem slow<ref>https://docs.libretro.com/library/opera/#core-options</ref>.

;[[Phoenix (emulator)|Phoenix]]
:A newer, closed-source project by a long time FreeDO contributor. It is the most compatible 3DO emulator (claiming 100% compatibility). The PC versions are completely in Russian (you can download an English translation patch [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]].
;3d'oh
:Seems to have lower compatibility. However, most of the more popular 3DO titles are compatible. It's a source-only release, so it has to be compiled.
