ALIE Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about 3DO emulation? Any whispering out on the World Wide Web. 3DO hasn't been updated in a long time as far as I can see not assuming the Retroarch core is much more advanced.

SentaiBrad Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I've gotten 3DO working in a tutorial, did you try that? It's probably stagnant because not as many people want 3DO as they do other systems sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIE Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yahoo got it working with 4do and Retroarch. I was just wondering if any progress had been made but I guess sadly not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crush Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Phoenix is a good 3DO emulator: http://www.arts-union.ru/node/23 It is in Russian but i can provide a rough translation file in English if anyone wants it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, if this is the emulator I'm thinking of, I saw this last night after I posted on the thread. 4DO is still good, but I do want to check this one out, and I found a fully translated version of it.

I would love that or if Brad finds that English version maybe he can share it. I was reading and maybe it's bragging or a bad translation but do they claim 100% compatibility? If it's so good why isn't it more know. Nevertheless very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I did post the link, check my edit. I don't know much about it's claims, or it's compatibility vs 4DO, but another emulator doesn't hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks for the link @SentaiBrad. Also a big thanks @Crushfor showing us this :). Edited February 26, 2017 by ALIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALIE Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Works really well. But I can't get LaunchBox to launch the games directly anyway? @Crush @SentaiBrad Edited February 28, 2017 by ALIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'll see if I can't find command lines, but MESS also runs 3DO well apparently. Edit: Which I can't find any, that sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spycat Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The 4DO emulator uses the following parameters for LaunchBox to run the games -StartFullScreen -StartLoadFile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use 4DO in RetroArch you only need the regular RetroArch commands, and if you sue MESS you only need the MESS commands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Crush! Finally got round to trying Phoenix and wow what an amazing emulator! I tried Alone in the Dark which has always had emulation problems, (looks hideous in retroarch, sounds hideous in 4do) and it ran perfectly! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to suport command lines and it seems that rocketlauncher doesn't support the new version either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 It might support command line, it might just be specific commands that we don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgarath Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I trawled through google translations of the russian forum and found no mention of command lines, You're right it may support command lines but I'm willing to bet it doesn't. I have got it working through rocketlauncher now though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SentaiBrad Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Even if the site doesn't say it, it still might. I've come across many emulators with basic or custom command line parameters and it's not put down in an easy to find location like a documentations page or a wiki page. RetroArch's commands for example are not easy to find. They are now that our website has tons and tons of mentions of them (which is why we get a ton of RetroArch questions now), but that didn't happen overnight. Getting in contact with the translator or the developer would be best. Obviously the dev is the best choice, but the translator may be easier to reach.

Once you've done all that it should work from rocketlauncher and of course then works from launchbox if you set rocketlauncher as the emulator. Hope that's clear(ish) but I'm shattered and off to bed now, any problems I'll try and help with in the morn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
