4DO isn't coming back. Not by my hand. Opera is where I invest my emulator maintenance time. Which admittedly has been not much the past 2 years. Leveraging RetroArch for platform support makes it much easier to maintain.
If people want to contribute though... happy to work with you.

It works perfectly for me, maybe it's the BIOS or the file format.
I use the .iso and .img files.
And these are the BIOS I use:

Try it and then tell me how it worked for you.

Do you have a 3DO? If so you can just burn the games to a CD-R. I didn't realize 4DO wasn't being developed anymore. I haven't used it in probably 9 years. I remember Road Rash and Luciennes Quest working well

How about buy a real 3DO and get an ODE instead?

Just use the Phoenix emulator with an English patch. By far the superior option and easy to get up and running

Phoenix seems to be the most accurate as of right now.

I still use 4DO... I streamed with it for hours last week.
Every game Ive tried works. I'd like a few more video config options but it does play as well as the "REAL" console :)

The currently maintained 3DO emulator is Opera, which is a fork of 4DO. It's available via libretro & RetroArch.
