OK, what the hell? (3DO Problem)

[ReddMcKnight]

Yeah, I read that it has no copy protection, and I've tried burning several discs for it, but none of them will boot. I know the thing works because I tried an Audio CD in it. Can anyone help me?

The Goldstar version is more picky about the media you use and won't play some 3DO games. What brand Disc are you using, what speed are you burning and what program are you burning with.

Congrats, on getting the worst 3DO model.

[ReddMcKnight]

Philips CD-Rs, Nero 9, and 10x Speed.

Philips CD-Rs, Nero 9, and 10x Speed.

I would recommend Verbatim. I haven't had any problems with that brand on any system. I got all my 3DO roms to try games out from doperoms.com.

I just tried that Brand, that didn't work either.

Try a burned audio disc, that way you can tell if 3DO will at least read the brand CDR you are using.

Older CD drives tend to be more picky on CDR's.

I'd suggest burning at 2-4X, too

And also be sure your images are good and that you are burning them correctly. What format are the images?

ISO/CUE

According to Wiki post some games are not compatible on the Goldstar:

Though it states no copy protection there are incompatibilities on some different language games.

Couple great games if you can find them:

Cannon Fodder
Horde
Out of This World
Lemmings
