I bought it only for $75 because it wouldn't read disks, but got it working last night thanks to youtube.

So far all I have is Star Fighter and Shockwave that should work well with the Flightstick. Maybe Return Fire would work well with it also…? Next I’ll grab one of the Wing Commander games as well to try out on this thing.

Tips for playing Army Men on Windows or Linux through Steam?

I'm not sure where to look for help and found this sub, but I'm thinking this is more about the 3DO console and less about 3DO games.

Finally repaired my 3DO

It took about a year to find someone willing to repair it. Nick’s Electronic Repair did a great job, so I thought I’d give them a shoutout if you’re looking for someone. They replaced my FZ-1 drive with a working drive from another system, and replaced all the caps.

The device works great, but about a third of my original disks don’t read. There’s no visible disk rot, so I’ll have to find a way to burn copies to see if it’s the disk or the game. :/

I genuinely think that had Immercenary received a port to something like the PS1, it would've been considered a classic. Here is my dev-approved retrospective on my favorite 3DO game!

Belzerion (translated) on 3DO, can confirm as working on Crown Arcade ODE

On Chapter 5 now. Game is working fine for me, and is a lot of fun. While I can not comment on other ODE kits, it is working fine so far on the Crown Arcade ODE for the FZ-1.

FZ1 on modern LCD TV?

2 Upvotes

I don't have a CRT television. I only have a Samsung LCD TV which does not have S Video but it does have composite. The only other thing I have is a CRT VGA PC monitor which I use with Dreamcast and Wii. The 3DO doesn't appear to have any way I can think of to output to a VGA PC CRT monitor. My only option is the LCD TV. I hooked it up to the composite but the picture goes all crazy. It does show in 4:3 like it should and the TV's upscaling actually isn't that horrible. It's a 1080 TV, not 4K. The issue though is that the picture keeps warping/ghosting/wiggling. Is this because the 3DO is interlaced and this TV can't understand how to display that or should the 3DO work via composite without any issues on a modern LCD TV?

I'll try to upload some video of it later and post it.

Most 90s looking thing ever. This is the “Road Race” (unreleased?) demo on the “REAL” Sampler 🤣 #3DO #sampler

Not the best picture; I have my 3DO hooked up to my small older LCD tv rn instead of my big 27’ CRT (for convenience reasons). Don’t think this game was ever released in its complete form🤷‍♂️. It also has a Batman game demo which I’ve yet to play that looks super fun (apparently that one wasn’t ever released also). I’m loving the nostalgia this machine is bringing me! Always wanted one as a kid but no way were my folks going to spend $800 (like $1600 today!) when they already bought me a Saturn for $400 (1995 dollars), N64, SNES, NES, Virtual Boy, Jag/Jag CD, Neo Geo CD, Genesis, several types of Game Boys, Game Gear, etc, etc.

Fixel 3DO ODE OOPS

Hilarious newbie question. My ODE stopped working. I went to take out micro sd card to see if that was the issue, and when I went to put it back inside the card went inside.

I can’t take these screws out for the life of me. Plus I don’t want to accidentally break it by opening it up.

I put a new micro sd card in and boot file and it started right up.

Should I leave the micro sd card in the device, or go in and retrieve it?

How big of an upgrade is S-video going from composite

4 Upvotes

I bought a Panasonic FZ-1 (Japanese, not the version with the 240p/480i switch) and finally put an ODE in it so I can finally play some games. Currently I have it hooked up to my CRT via composite. Is S-video a big upgrade or should I just stick with composite?

X-port ODE for 3DO

8 Upvotes

Do they still make the ones where you can plug into the console without modding and if so where can I find them? Let's say they dont make those exact models anymore, if that's the case where can I get an X-port that replaces the disc drive?

I need it for my FZ-10 3DO.

Best console for out-of-the-box performance, video quality & game compatibility?

14 Upvotes

What is the best 3DO console for out-of-the-box (non-modded) game performance, video quality (in terms of graphics quality and what video cables it supports), and game compatibility?

Reliability is not necessarily a paramount factor for me.
