If you want to see positive 3do reviews check out Gamepro during that time. Constant 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0. They were very fair about the 3do, at times too fair :wink:

Freedo ported to Playstation 3 Linux?

I found this clip on youtube, is it real or fake?

I think it needs a closer look...

Playing the most expensive console of all time on the second most expensive console would blow my mind!

If its fake why crush my dreams?

A little off-topic. It seems that the Angry Video Game Nerd has finally touched on the Jaguar. I wonder how long until he touches on the 3do? He has some rather constructive arguments when it comes to his console reviews. I wouldn't be shocked if the review was at first "wow this sucks" but then you...

The PlayStation port of Doom is rather excellent. But I was surprised to see how the lousy 3do port compared to the Saturn one.

I would try powering it on with the cover off and pushing on the chips to see if the condition goes away. Use the plastic end of a screwdriver. Maybe you have a loose or bad solder connection.

3DO systems are very durable. Cheap example: FZ-1 and FZ-10...no problems whatsoever. (Made in the 90s) Xbox360...died within 2 years. (Made a few years ago) Yep, they just don't make them like they used to. So you compare the lifetime of a, by today's standards, very simple console running at 12.5...

Saturn fanboys are the worst of all. It always comes back to "well they never learned to use the system" but neglect the FACT that it couldn't be utilized fully because of the system bus. And nothing on the Saturn looks as good as anything on Playstation, besides the 2d stuff. Playstation in general...
