The '''[[gametech:3DO Interactive Multiplayer|3DO Interactive Multiplayer]]''' was a fifth-generation home video game console released by the [[wikipedia:The_3DO_Company|3DO Company]] on October 4, 1993. It sold for <abbr title="$1,210.87 in 19932018 money">$699.99</abbr>. It had a RISC CPU ARM60 at 12.5 MHz with 2MB of RAM and 1MB of VRAM. Due to the unpopularity of the systemand the cost, the emulation scene is almost non-existent. However, there are a couple of emulators available.

===Comparison===
;[[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]].
;[[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 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
;FreeDO
:An older abandoned emulator that never left beta. Paved the way for preliminary 3DO emulation development while spawning 4DO and Phoenix. Was open source at one point but became closed due to fear of legal issues. <ref name="open to closed">http://www.freedo.org/HTML/faq.html</ref>
;[[Phoenix(emulator)|Real3DOPlayer]]
:The Phoenix emulation project is released as separate emulators for Android, this is the 3DO version. Identical compatibility to PC version according to the author. Requires 1.5 GHz dual-core ARM or better for full speed.
