4DO is a fork of the FreeDO emulation project. It is the most compatible 3DO emulator, but only available for Windows. It can  [[Overclocking|overclock]] up to 400% of the original 3DO clock speed, which makes low framerate 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.

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.

It can overclock up to 400% of the original 3DO clock speed, which makes low framerate 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.
