From what I understand, this machine was designed by a bunch of the same guys who designed the Amiga, if this is the case, I can not see a reason why such an emulator shouldn't be ported to AmigaOS, MorphOS, and AROS...
I guess it's also GCC which is Amiga friendly right?

68k please :) :) :)

If we had 200Mhz 680x0's (like the Atari community seems to have) then we just "might" be able to run this, considering it was originally planned for release on the Sega Dreamcast.

All right, a 3D0 emulator! I can't tell you how long I've been waiting to play...to play...
...wait, it'll come to me...
...oh, right, this is the 3D0 we're talking about, a.k.a. The System Whose Software Library Consists Solely Of Ports From Better Systems And "Interactive Movies." Never mind :/

Sad but (essentially) true.
-
Not so not so. The 3DO's library consisted of a lot more than mere ports. There were many titles that released on the 3DO alone. Also there were a few titles that were on other systems, but paled in comparison to the 3DO version, I.E. Road Rash and Po'ED.
-
They also had one called Slayer, which was a port of Dungeon Hack for DOS. I can't imagine the 3DO version not being better, but I haven't seen much in the way of videos showing it.
Dungeon Hack would be an awesome port to AmigaOS. It's essentially Dungeon Master meets NetHack, using AD&D 2nd edition rules.

Edit: Found a video of it for the 3do. It's almost totally different, full 360 degrees, it looks more like Daggerfall than Dungeon Master. The Dungeon Hack for DOS is just like Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, etc.

There was Slayer, then they later released Death Keep. I think if you get that chance to play them that you'll find your self liking Death Keep the best between the two.
I also really enjoyed playing Alone in the Dark part 1 on there, as I believe this was the only console that that game ever made it to, which was ironic as that games still stands (in my opinion) as the best in the series.
I believe it was the 3DO port of Flashback that featured the hi-resolution graphics which didn't grace the PC till much later. And of course there were a few RPG's on the 3DO that I loved playing, though I forget the name of the one I played the most...
Speaking of which did anyone ever get a chance to play Lost Eden? Was it any good?

Hey, at least I didn't suggest a Phillips CDi Emulator...
Though it did have those three crappy Zelda games... :)

I would be interested in a NeoGeo emulator (one probably exists, I am just lazy.) Some damn good games on that gear.

A little bit of topic, but the Need for speed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Need_for_Speed) series had its debut exclusively on 3DO in 1994.
(got the URL tag working :D )

Really how do we get one?

Immercenary would like a word with you.:) Such a bizarre but good fps. Also, Guardian Wars and Lucienne's Quest are pretty good, imho. Like most kids in the 90's, I had parents that were fairly clueless about game consoles and computers. So it was a nice turn of events when they came home one day with a brand new 3do for both my brother and I, along with about 30 games, thanks to Best Buy having a clearance sell right around the time of the 3do's demise. Total cost, around $50.:lol:

LOL that video is so funny, considering he is a dwarf his head is nearly touching the ceiling throughout the clip :roflmao::roflmao:

Heh, those remain the reason to have a CDi :D

I've just dug out my FZ-1, time for a dose of Road Rash methinks! :)

I dont know what 3do youre talking about, but that description doesnt fit the 3do I know.
Need for Speed and Road Rash began life on this 3do (and it looks somewhat nicer than psx/saturn versions), Space Hulk on the 3do was its own exclusive version (that got butchered and ported elsewhere later on), best version of Street Fighter for a home machine up until that point, Fifa international was overhauled and turned 3d for 3do (well before saturn/psx), Return Fire rocked, Primal Rage mirrored SSF2T, NBA Jam was better on 3do than any system before it, Another World was overhauled (only version to have textured mapped gfx still), Super Wing Commander was the penultimate Wing Commander game up until that point as well as many more.
While it was only short lived there was some quality titles for 3do, and had it survived it couldve gone on to compete with the saturn and psx once they were released. As much as I love the amiga I have to admit that it was in a different league to the cd32 and outshined the Saturn and PSX in some ways too.

there's one at os4depot.net if you've got OS4.1...haven't tried it myself yet but generally HunoPPC ports are great quality

The Coldfire project, drool!
Atari users are lucky! :)

I still think Need for Speed on my 3DO is one of my favorite racing games...
Great system..

This emulator is pretty heavy though, I doubt OS4.x hardware is up to the task. Higher end Macs (ie. Morphos) might just manage (although it wouldnt be great for a lot of stuff). Only AROS really has the hardware grunt for FreeDO (Win port requires roughly a 2ghz athlon xp if I recall correctly, with an athlon64 the minimum target for a good experience from most games, both of which are significantly more powerful than any available desktop ppc systems)).

No kidding.
They got their free OS clone way before we did, which opened a possibilities.
Atari even used it before they stopped making computers.

I wonder how the heck they ever imagined they'd get this running on the original XBOX? That was their original plan back in the day.

The 3D0 had a 12MHz ARM CPU, you'd need a 25MHz 68030 to get the same native performance, so you would need a rather hefty machine indeed to get a cycle accurate emulated CPU experience. And that's before the chipset. I suspect this will be for PowerPC Amigas only.
-
This source uses a cpu intensive usage, is slowly on high clock g4 cpu
-
It's not impossible Im confusing this for Yabause actually (sega saturn emulator), but Im pretty sure FreeDO had similar requirements. I'll have to have a look when I get some time, would like to play Another World again anyway after this thread :-)

You can play Another World and Flashack, this engines was ported to os4 and morphos.
Well you only see this on windows version:
Factorization made by 3DO community, represented by commands [tPORt] - SUPER!
OS: Win XP
Recommended requirements: 2xCPU - 2GHz
Minimum requirements: CPU - 2 GHz
Audio - OpenAL, setting emulation speed through the speed of sound
Video - OpenGL, supported by extrapolation, full-screen mode, the increase in domestic permit consoles twice
CD-ROM - Driver not required
Office - any, supports plug-ins.
Supported images: ISO, CDI, NRG, BIN, IMG ...
Extras: supports screenshots and save anywhere.

Sure, Im aware of RAW and Reminiscence (I ported both to AROS), but the 3do version of Another World is enhanced over the other versions.

3dO have fantastic games, rebel assault, wing commander, need for speed, G-rex... but this emulator is brute force cpu and is designed for x86 high end cpu´s.
The best another world is the 15th anniversay, the game was reworked 100% with the original amiga spirit but is not available for amiga and compatibles only on PeCe :(

Strange post you say another world 15h anniversary best versio n then post a review saying its not worth it

for me is the best version this 15th anniversay :)

Which is why I'd find it much more interesting if it were the 3D0 Operating System that were going Open Source - I don't much care about their hardware.
-
I would love to see AROS take on an emulate and integrate stance. The UAE integration is going well. Wouldn't it be cool if we could launch 3DO apps as if they were AROS apps, and have them run like they were native? How about being able to do the same with C64 apps, or SNES, or any other system.

Speaking of Another World aka Out of this World, I wonder why no one ever seems to bring up Heart of the Alien and the fact that there is an Open Source Redux of it out on the web?
http://hota.sourceforge.net/
This was ported to BeOS, but sadly I've not yet been able to get it to run under Haiku. It would be great to see it on Amiga OS 4, MorphOS, AROS and the like...
