Oh dear. That is scary, when a thread i started in 2014 evolves into the most active on the site.
Maybe i should become an admin....haven't got much else to do these days anyway so...
Hi mate, life is too short to worry about breaking things. Your going to have to be your own 3DO repairer. Post your findings here for future generations like those annoying little Millennials. I blame anything i can on them these days, forget about the guns..i have access to four chainsaws, so i'd ...
So it's 2020 and im still alive. Good to see this site is still around. Whats everyone doing? Im running a rifle range on Sundays.... Last year i was given a box of video game stuff from some mystery person, it was on my doorstep in the morning. It had one jap Wii and three PS3's, however, only two ...
Ha, nice.. I had one of those a few years back. A little uncommon, no doubt. You see the red discs floating around all over the place though, it's like everyone that bought these via retail threw away the boxes or something. There's a red disc version? Why did you have to tell me that for? ....now ...
Yeah, the 3DO logo flashes on and off in it's normal colours for maybe 3-5 seconds then black screen. Red power led stays constant with one little flicker of the green led when i turn it on. I mean, i got nothing to lose really, i can solder a bit so i'll have a crack a recap mission. Worst case sce...
Here's my three, the two black ones came with each FZ-10 and i have no idea where i got the big grey one from. When i got hold of a FZ-1 it became it's designated power converter.
Alright fellas, here is my new set up v1. Its work in progress bros. The bottom pic took in the dark to get all three 3DO's lights going. After i post that one here, im gonna post it on one of those UFO site's for shits n giggles, hehe. http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff377/rulie303/RULIES%20ARC...
Hey nice thread Acrof, my fz-1 has just died, like two days ago. Farout i've had a good run out of it. When i boot her up i get the 3do logo then some flicker, a bit of green light then no green light and constant red light. I got the disc out of it eventually but now the tray don't open at all. Man...
No worries mate, I think it says in one of those forums links, something about this darn capacitor being more of a major issue the less you use the machine and, how you've stored it when not being used. Either way, the capacitor needs watching.
Hi all, posted this on a few gamer sites now but the main reason im posting it here is, are there any capacitors like this one on the 3DO motherboard we should know about? Do you or anyone you know still own an original xbox? If you do, and you already know about the exploding acid for blood xenomor...
Nice work mate! Very nice work. I booked marked it for ron. I can't follow you though...i don't have tumbler , or twitter, or Facebook, or Instagram...im a pretty unsocialable bastage.
That is an article from a Next Gen magazine. Would be interesting to see the original date attached to it. I remember reading it with a sinking feeling. By the time i had got my hands on an actual 3DO here in West OZ the system was already dead.
I use a plastic polish to clean up any scratched music or gaming discs i come across. Its an ABRO product i picked up from my local hardware store used to restore perspex on headlights of cars. Works alright. After i clean it all back i'll wipe it over with isopropyl alcohol.
yeah, we got stuck on that bit...so we cheated! Just wait till you get to the darn "hex map" bit right at the end. At first me and my buddy stuck small stickers on the screen each time we got further (as well as drawing a manual map) but in the end...we cheated on that bit too. :P Not sure, about mu...
One of my fav 3DO games. Myself and a friend played it most the way through but got stuck on the "Hex map" path between the sun and moon/planet. :cry: Fortunately the whole game has been uploaded to boobtube albeit the PC version so i got to see the ending. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMsGNU83Sp...
Took me a while to find this forum again after a hard drive malfunction, I had the exact same issue about a month ago when i had to do a complete format/install. Look on the bright side though guys. Eventually if 3DO zone don't show up on google you may become a googlewhack! :lol: https://www.youtu...
yeah well, watch out for Death Tank mate...it is a highly addictive little game and is even more fun if you have a Saturn multi-tap. I here Death Tank was also remade for x-box 360 although i've never seen it here in OZ.
Plays really well with the 3D pad too!! And if you have Duke Nukem 3D for Saturn Duke contains an awesome mini game called Death Tank Zwei that can be accessed if you break every toilet and urinal in the game OR it is also unlocked if you have save data from either Quake or PowerSlave/Exhumed....but...
