about 4DO

[eniomarconcini]

Hello all,
I´ m very glad to see this project, 4DO.
I love 3DO consoles, but recently (specifically yesterday) I sold my FZ10 console. And I look for FreeDO news and the site appears to be abandon.... well... Its great that exists this amazing project.

Today I do a test with 4DO using Crime Patro 2, but I see some strange issues like some images appears and disapeas oddly.
Of course my test environment is some crazy, my work lap uses Ubuntu Linux, but I have VirtualBox to run WinXP (to make compatibly with some programs). I pretend to reinstall Win7 in my home lap (its is Ubuntu too) to run all my emulators (like zsnes, epsxe, sega consoles and now 3do) because Ubuntu x64 has incompatibility with PCSX and zsnes.

In the web I found this project (I dont know if its true) http://altmer.arts-union.ru/3DO/docs/3D ... roject.htm

Now I need to know, we have great emulators to Sega Saturn, PSX and PS2, why does not have a 100% fully functional 3DO emu? In FreeDO forums I saw that 3DO ARM arch is so hard to be emulated. It is this true?

Sorry if my words above can offend the 4DO team, I have a great respect do emu developers (all kind of consoles) its a spartan programmers and hard work. But I wish some day to play a great 3DO emu so good like I play my PSX games on ePSXe and PCSX (on Linux).

Please admin and dev team, if you need some help, specialy if you want to do a multi-language to 4DO, I have some time to help you with portuguese language. See that I'm of translators team to portuguese of Ubuntu.
(of course: this my texts can appears to be wrong or bad writted, but when I do translations, I can do it with a great level of proximity of the original)

Guys, how can I get the source of 4DO

thanks and the best regards of
Enio Marconcini

A link to the SourceForge page is on the downloads page. Here is a quick link to browse the source...

Maybe with time it will be possible add a separate language file, so it and to translate into other languages, it's easier than it is to do in the source code itself.

Enio,

I looked into what you are saying about Crime Patrol 2. The game is completely unplayable. The video seeking is not working correctly at all and is causing major lag. The wrong parts of the video are being shown. Is this what is hapening for you?

This also happens in FreeDO, so it seems like it's a bug in the FreeDOCore. I am going to add this information to the compatibility wiki.

BryWI its this that occurs, some videos is showed (sorry I can explain with more detail)

but I have not tested yet on FreeDO

thanks

4DO is ready to accept translations, if you'd be willing to do Portugese for us! http://forum.fourdo.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=32
