{{for|other emulators that run on 3DO hardware|Emulators on 3DO}} The '''[[gametech:3DO Interactive Multiplayer|3DO Interactive Multiplayer]]''' is a 32-bit, fifth-generation home video game console released by [[wikipedia:The_3DO_Company|The 3DO Company]] on October 4, 1993, with an initial MSRP of {{Inflation|USD|699.99|1993}}. It has an ARM60 RISC CPU clocked @ 12.5 MHz, with two accelerated video co-processors, "Madam" and "Clio", clocked @ 25 MHz.
The system was discontinued in late 1996, as it proved uncompetitive in the fifth-generation market.

::Based on the FreeDO emulator. 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.
:;[[4DO|4DO]] / [https://docs.libretro.com/library/opera/ opera_libretro]
::4DO is a fork of the FreeDO emulation project, only available for Windows and no longer active. It offers features such as CPU [[Overclocking#Enhancements|overclockingenhancement features]] by up to 400% of the original clock speed, making low frame rate titles (e.g., [[wikipedia:Doctor_Hauzer|Doctor Hauzer]]) much more playable just like [[BigPEmu]] emulator for [[Atari_Jaguar_emulators|Atari Jaguar]] or [[xemu]] emulator for [[Xbox_emulators|Xbox]]. Additionally, it's possible to force games to run in a higher internal resolution (up to 2x). Severe audio glitches are very common, no matter what settings are used. A libretro port named '''Opera''' is still in active development, with many of the same features. However, overclocking only allows up to 200% (unlike 4DO's 400%)<ref>https://docs.libretro.com/library/opera/#core-options</ref>.
;[[Phoenix (emulator)|Phoenix]]
:A 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 [https://www.rlauncher.com/forum/index.php?threads/help-with-3do-phoenix-2-8.4160/ here]). Most of the settings are translated [[:File:3DO_Phoenix_Translated.png|in this picture]].
;[[Phoenix (emulator)|Real3DOPlayer]]
:The Phoenix emulation project is released as separate emulators for Android; this is the 3DO version. Identical compatibility to the PC version, according to the author. Requires 1.5 GHz dual-core ARM or better for full speed.

[[Input_lag|Input latency]] will be a crucial factor, but its impact likely varies depending on the specific technique employed, it's recommended to use '''after applying the "Internal Framerate Hack"'''.<br/>While '''AFMF''' or '''LSFG''' can be used with MAME, please be aware that some visual glitches and artifacts may occur at this time.
