The 3DO Interactive Multiplayer is a video game consoles
released in 1993 by Panasonic, Sanyo and
Goldstar accordingly to specifications created by The
3DO Company. The console had very advanced hardware
features at the time: 32-bit main processor, two video
co-processors and two other processors. It used CD-ROMs as a
game media. The console was also able to play audio CDs,
view Photo CDs and Video CDs. It was one of few CD-based
consoles that had neither regional lockout nor copy
protection. Despite all these features, due to high price
and several other reasons, the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer |
 |
was unable to compete with its more successful rivalries,
released at the time by Nintendo, Sega, SNK, Commodore. Soon
after release of the Sony PlayStation (that forced out of
the market many other consoles also) the 3DO system was
discontinued (1995).
The M2 console, that was developed by 3DO company as a
successor to 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, was never brought
to market and company abandoned the console business. For
several years afterwards it was publishing games for
other companies' consoles. In 2003 the company bankrupted
and ceased its existence.3DO Interactive Multiplayer CDs
can be played on PC using
FreeDO emulator (see instructions below).

GAME DOWNLOAD |
The archive below (split into ten parts) contains an image
of the game CD (iso + cue). After
downloading all parts and placing into the same folder, unpack them using WinRAR
program. The image can be either burned to a CD or played directly. The full
size of archive is 298 MB.FreeDo emulator requires
two additional files: fz10_rom.bin (bios) and
so-called ASPI (chances are that you have this ASPI already
somewhere in your Windows directory). You can download
fz10_rom.bin here (565 KB):
fz10_rom.zip
For ASPI I used
wnaspi32.dll. (try Google search for it). Note also, that if you download the last
version of FreeDo (FreeDo17WIP.rar), it comes without
necessary dll-files, so you'll have to download also one of
previous versions of the emulator to get these files (libmmd.dll
etc.). Well, after you have all these files in the same
directory as FreeDo.exe, double click it and browse
for bios file. After this, click 'file'>'open iso' and open
iso-file of the game (3do-bssm.iso). Finally, click
'CPU'>'start'. The game must start here.
(Note: emulation with FreeDo is not perfect - sometime
the game slows down, sound is a bit reverberated and
gargled. But otherwise it is working fine).
