Its still early days but basically near to the entire library boots and its like 95% playable at full speed. A few audio pops here and there but its effectively almost a complete 3DO core on MiSTer FPGA

and before you say "har har 3DO sucks"...it kinda does! But in all the best ways and it totally has some hidden gems on it

Finally I can play "Plumbers don't wear ties" as it was meant to be experienced.

3DO sucked, and that's it. But it's a important remark of a great time

Terrific news, someday I'll get a MiSTer for myself

It has some games that are definitely worth playing. People just seem to ignore them

Finally a ray of hope! The hobby of gaming has been on hiatus since 3DO manufacturing was discontinued. A select few were kept alive in the gaming underground, enjoying life while wrapped in a glowing 3DO infused blanket of cathode rays and redbook audio.

I just hope a lot more people give 3DO a chance

Great news considering how difficult it is to find a working 3DO console. I just wish it had a more active homebrew scene like the Jaguar.

I just want to use this chance to ask, how the fuck anyone with a working brain throught that releasing a new console in 1993 with a default controller like this:

1 fewer button than the SNES that released 3 years earlier... and which already forced Sega to release an upgraded controller to match the amount of buttons, BECAUSE FIGHTING GAMES EXISTED... and many of them are incompatible with anything that has less than 6 easily accessible action buttons!

and then you have to remember that the 3DO concept was meant to create a universal standard platform... and that trash controller design that was clearly behind the times is what they went with.

absolutely zero forward thinking happened during the design of this disaster of a controller design. that shitty 3 button layout was understandable when Sega did it with the concept of "let's just add a button next to the 2 we already have on our old controller", but when Nintendo showed the world how you do a modern controller properly, there was no excuse anymore... there's a reason we use Nintendo's exact layout to this day on all mainstream controllers on all platforms.

Ι don't know man, if i played Road Rash or Need for Speed on it in 1994 i'm sure it would blow my mind.

Expensive? Sure but the only thing more impressive than those games at the time was DOOM on a fast 486 PC, which was even more expensive.

I remember renting a 3do for super street fighter 2 turbo. Was awesome.

Didn't they have star control 2 as well?
