Hello Retro Users
Recently I decided to take the plunge and purchased a FZ1 Panasonic 3DO Console (Japanese Version). Sadly this consoles was incredibly expensive back in the day and is probably the reason the PS1 prevailed.
I have a stepdown transformer so getting it up and running was not a problem.
Typically me, I have gone a bit mad and bought myself a load of games and I am not going to lie I am pleasantly surprised on this machines capabilities.
I didn't realise there was a machine with the PS1 capabilities before the PS1.
I have never played "Space Hulk" on the PS1 and it was my first experience of it when I got it for my 3DO and I was like wow I did not expect what the game provides I'm not saying its better than the PS1 version but again I have not experienced this version either.
So I googled 3DO Vs PS1 games, video's and was shock at how some look better and others are disappointing especially Doom. I don't understand why it is not full screen on the 3DO, when other games you expect to be worse are actually better on the 3DO.
When buying the console, I did not do my research on the console and discovered after buying that the ODE that was created sadly did not have the greatest support with money being taken but orders not completed, I myself have gone for an AliExpress version of the ODE which is not great because it does not support the original creator, but from what I have seen on discord the original Creator has lost a lot of respect and trust because of his actions.
I'm hoping I can get this ODE working and hopefully it does not need me to remove the Original drive and keeps this functionality, Still awaiting it as of this post.
Anyway attached is a YouTube Video with comparisons of games for both consoles.
