Hello everybody.
It was long since our last update. As you’ve probably noticed, i’m not visiting forums as often as before.
There was a lot of load and time pressure in my company. Yet there are some news on FreeDO side.

  • we’ve been approached by far-eastern game publisher, for custom 3DO game ports development. They will be redistributing FreeDO with games for Dreamcast, win32 and MacOS X (UBI)
  • for all Dreamcast and MacOSX fans out there — those 2 ports are ready.
  • Currently we’re holding the release until game publisher will release their games.
  • Despite commercial release of Dreamcast and MacOS X ports, they still be available to download from our web-site for free.
  • There will be no difference between commercial and free ports, except for the games, they’re tailored for.
  • free port will have no extended and improved graphics on selected games. Such games will appear as original 3DO games.
  • commercial port will have extended and improved graphics and sounds with attached game.
  • At the moment we’re developing GP2X port, and soon new board will be opened, specific to this port.
  • Win32 release is being updated and scheduled to be released soon.
