3DO Homebrew Toolkit imminent!

[mattyg]

We could finally be only hours away from a successful 3DO homebrew toolkit! This is massive news for the 3DO community - it is over 15 years in the making and has been the result of much hard work by some members of the 3DO Zero forums and associated fans

See the progress here:

I don't have an account to the 3DO forum, but here's a link I just googled... It's the official 3DO Development kit. If this doesn't get things kicking off I don't know what will. NOW GET TO HOMEBREWING!

The 3DO Development Kit

Something people might want to know:

 

REMEMBER! THESE ARE MAC HFS FORMAT CDs! THEY WILL _NOT_ BE READABLE IN STANDARD WINDOWS OR LINUX PCs WITHOUT SPECIAL SOFTWARE AND/OR DRIVERS! THESE DISCS WERE TARGETED FOR A 3DO DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM THAT CONSISTED OF A MOTOROLA 68040-BASED MACINTOSH WITH ~ MAC OS 7.X (USUALLY A QUADRA 800).

Well here's another interesting find... A 3DO dev system on Ebay.

 

RARE PANASONIC APPLE 3DO M2 DEVELOPMENT FZ-DR21 SYSTEM:

How about this?

 

 

Here's the demo, sources, and Windows tools:

And a repackaged set of lib/headers and a disk signing tool:

http://www.rastersoft.net/3DO/3DODev.rar

 

You still need to find a copy of 'Arm Software Developer Toolkit v2.50', but everything else is there.

 

The tools use only the standard C library, so they will compile on Linux/Mac OSX without much problem. You would need to remove the windows.h include file and add typedefs for DWORD, WORD, and BYTE.

 

For all the details check out the 3DO Zero forum post and the signing tool post.

Cool.

I absolutely LOVED the 3DO. A much underappreciated system! The first system to also create the cd rom trend and the unified ram memory architecture that gave us the Xbox 360!

 

I would DEFINITELY learn an easy to use homebrew kit for this. It never got the library it deserved, but there were a few amazing titles on it.
