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.

Comparison

  • 4DO is a fork of the FreeDO emulation project. It is the most compatible 3DO emulator, but only available for Windows. 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.
  • 3d'oh seems to have lower compatibility. However, most of the more popular 3DO titles are compatible. 3d'oh has to be compiled via its source code.
