I still want to try that library disc case i linked earlier because the jewel cases are not very solid. Thankfully, there's GameGuru to compress such saves but this makes me wish it was bundled with the console instead. Quote from: DJ Omnimaga on August 20, 2016, 12:00:24 AMģDO saves are generally not very big (only a few bytes) but some of them (JRPGs actually) can be up to 6kb ! It doesn't help there are a lot of fakes out-there. I admit i had some issues to find a proper dump of the GBA bios too.
For the GBA I remember I spent an entire day trying to find a BIOS XD (most links just led to a link directory asking me to vote for my favorite emulation website and all links there linked back and forth between similar sites with absolutely zero download link). It's not like 3DO games were that complex either (compared for example to Final Fantasy VII where you have 200+ different items and 200+ equipments, hundreds of character stats, side quests and stuff. Are they generally big? I mean, I think Illusiat 13 save was about 600 bytes large and that was because it used floating points.
Plus on the side you could put "For use on 3DO" or something. Try to pick the ones that have a transparent side and back cover, though, for extra artwork space. I agree that you might be better off going with a standard jewel case. They look much nicer but they aren't as durable. As for cardboard I just noticed some music artists release their collector editions in cardboard jackets. I didn't know the 3DO boxes were not solid. There's also a japanese battery backup memory for the 3DO but it's so rare it might as well not exist.Īs an alternative though, there's Game Guru, a utility that can compress/uncompress saves.Īh ok that surprises me lol. It is very small though, around 32kb, like the Amiga CD32 actually. On an off-topic note, are 3DO games saved on an hard drive, a battery backup memory (Sega Saturn style) or a memory card?ģDO Games (including this one) are saved on the internal NAND.

I think i will go with a standard CD jewel case. I wouldn't call a cardboard sleeve "fancy" though. In any case, while it's good to make your games look as authentic as possible, if I was you I would avoid original 3DO cases because they're just too big vertically and don't fit anywhere.Yeah, i agree the huge 3DO boxes are pretty bad and not very solid. Or you can just go with a standard DVD case. QuoteAs for packaging I generally go for a standard case like most music albums, but to be fancy you can always use a cardboard one like some music artists. It's much easier to find than the GBA bios, you should not have any trouble to find it. I bet it's easier now but the 3DO sold much less than the GBA. I hope it's not as difficult to find as it was to find a GBA bios back in 2003-05. All patents and trademarks are owned by their respective holders.QuoteYeah the issue is I don't have the Bios.
