Has anyone used a 3DO VCD Adapter here?

I just acquired one of these and I am curious what, if any, VCD's out there will work with this. Basically I don't want to go buy some to find out they don't work with it.

Any VideoCD will work, as that's the whole purpose of the adapter. Some early movies were "Digitial Video on CD-i". These may not work, as they are slightly different from the later VideoCD standard. But they don't claim to be VideoCDs anyway.

 

Video norm (PAL / NTSC) must match, but I'm sure you are aware of that.

Yeah, I was aware of PAL / NTSC, I just wasn't sure if there had been any changes over the years to where there might be compatibility issues in the format etc.. I appreciate your answer, that helped alone

I have the VCD adaptor for my FZ-10.  Pretty fun add on and any VCD will work.   I'd really like the memory unit one day.  My number one "problem to solve" with the 3DO (not enough space for game saves).

I want one too, but they are like 200+ dollars! ?  Crazy expensive.
