I just learned that this is not a very common mug in fact it’s very rare i’m debating on whether or not I should sell it or put it in a collection if I were to sell it how much could I sell it for?

Google and Reddit can easily reveal conversations and attempts on making 3D printed controller port covers for both types of Panasonic/Mitsumi controllers.

I am specifically referring to the port into which you plug an additional controller, giving the 'daisy chain' for multiple players.

There are discussions and even STL files, but everything seems 'in-development' with no finalized products. Further, they are from years ago.

Are there any STL files of a finalized product? Or sellers on the likes of eBay and Etsy selling these caps?

I have an FZ-1 with the 240p switch.

GEX ran, surprisingly, atrocious in 240p.

The load screen animations (Gex being chased by a dude with a lance, for example) running too fast was the first warning.

But worse is the screen scrolling. I have heard reviewer commenting on the jerky scroll, but in 240p, it looks like there is no scrolling at all, almost like the PC-88 version of Mario (just no black screen).

I guess for 240p it is off to the PS1 or Saturn version.

And I thought someone like the Director once said that the 3DO version was 'definitive'...

Edit: Sorry to care about Gex

Technically 3DO related, nearly have a complete Army men collection, just missing a couple gameboy games now.

Wanted to share the love for Army men and 3DO

The colection should feature at minimum:

• Lucienne’s Quest
• Star Control 2
• Road Rash
• Policenauts
• Snow Job
• Immercenary
• Return Fire
• Way of the Warrior
• The Need for Speed
• Wing Commander 3: Heart of the Tiger
• Pebble Beach Golf Links (both 3DO & Saturn versions)

I think there would be 35 games in this collection, with 31 I already have

Hey everyone just wanted to share my collection. I've had everything here for over 25 years. Hoping to finally add more games soon. I had Street Fighter in long box but it went missing somehow 😭 Love this group!

I've got a SegaCD ALG Gamegun and was wondering if anybody has any info on getting it to work on the 3DO?

I've tried researching this a few times and all I've found are a few mentions in forum posts. I know the pinout is different, and I've seen conflicting opinions on whether the differences extend any further than this.

I've got a ton of different lightguns and a couple of Sindens knocking about too. But obviously an actual ALG gun would be the way to go. The only thing I unfortunately can't do, is afford an actual 3DO gun lol.

If anybody has any experience, or knows of any resources, I'd be really grateful for ideas or a point in right direction.

Hello! Just ordered it off Facebook Marketplace for only 150, but no controllers. Seller says it's functional. Assuming it is, is there anything I have to look out for right out of the gate? I know that for some of these older consoles leaky caps can be a big hazard, but I'm very ignorant to the 3DO and it's hardships. Anything specific to look out for?

I recently got a Panasonic 3DO FZ-1. It boots up and when I put in a CD, close the drive, the green access light turns on for a bit, and turns off. The CD does not spin.

However, if I open the unit and manually move the laser sled, the cd will spin up, move to the front, but never read the disk. When I turn the 3DO off and then on again, the drive does not spin until I manually move the sled again.

I was wondering what the issue is?/what parts I should purchase to get this working?

Thanks!

It's basically crying out for that treatment with its standard sized 5.25" bay/cdrom drive. I know this has been done with several other consoles before such as the dreamcast and saturn, but haven't seen anyone do this yet. I love the FZ-1 case.

Hey everyone - I have a BlueRetro for the 3DO, and was wondering did anyone have a recommendation for a controller that has a similar look/button layout to the original controller? Cheers!

Hi. Develop for 3DO was hard compare to develop for other platforms? I'm talking if you have experience of coding and develop games

EDIT - Solved! Was just a storage device issue. Swapped it for a USB3.0 Kingston DataTraveller and it worked great. Thanks everyone!

Hey all - installed an ODE from China into my FZ-1. Plays games all good, but any FMVs stutter and skip like crazy. Anyone else experienced this? Using a 128gb Sandisk Cruzer USB2.0 formatted to FAT32.

I recently started hearing "broken audio" and "crackles" about a month or two after having an ODE installed. Now there's almost no sound at all.

Is this a coincidence? Any ideas what could cause this?

I'm not sure what exactly to call it or I might have better luck finding one. Anybody have suggestions for getting a replacement for my FZ-10's LED light guide? My 3DO came without this piece. Seems like it could easily be 3D printed if nothing else.
