Having big color corruption problems though, even with the screen colors on 256. That machine is in fact playing SWC best, if a bit too fast and uneven in regards to the framerate. I have a G4 iMac, one of the 800Mhz iLamps. I know, I played the hell out of that game as a kid (barely understanding english, that is).
#3DO EMULATOR MAC OS X MAC#
I have WC3 and Shockwave Assault on the Mac and UrQuanMasters for my SCII needs. Long story short, save your money to build a proper Mac. Hell, even the asteroids in Mac SWC look and behave better than about any other version. This control issue, combined with the Mac's superior rendering of ships, smooth animation, explosions, and sound make the Mac version the GREATEST by far.
If you go hunting for one on 3DO, make sure it is in good condition.
#3DO EMULATOR MAC OS X PRO#
Is it worth it to buy a CH flightstick pro for 3DO? I would say yes, but not for the money that I spent on the NOS one ($95). The control is just WAY superior on the Mac. It's not that the games are unplayable by any means on 3DO, or the Sega CD, which has no flightstick support that I'm aware of.
#3DO EMULATOR MAC OS X PC#
You are also going to have control issues if you are a traditional PC WC fan who is used to a PC with a nice flightstick. Even with my 3DO NOS CH flightstick pro, the games lack the sense of proportional control that you get on a proper Mac with a nice Gravis Blackhawk, Mouse Stick II, or ThurustMaster. HOWEVER, the control on these WC games seem to have been designed around the stock digital 3DO gamepad. I would say that it is fairly worth it to get a 3DO for these, as well as Star Control II, and some other 3DO titles. I enjoy SWC on the 3DO, and also feel that WC3 is done pretty well on 3DO. I also managed to get a brand new CH Flightstick Pro for 3D0. I did buy a 3D0 FZ-10 in December of 2015 primarily for SWC. I guess a comment on SWC for the 3DO is warranted here. This was too fast as stock to properly run SWC, and it also had issues that I will explain in my next post. It took me days just to get all of this crap out of the machine.ħ300/200 as received: 32 mb ram, 604e (820-0928-01) 200mhz processor card, 256k cache, 2 gb HD, 2 mb Vram, no keyboard or mouse. It was covered inside and out in concrete dust.
However, it was running OSX when I received it. It was a complete desktop (with no monitor, keyboard, or mouse) and it would boot. My 7300/200 was a storage unit rescue that cost me $100. Smooth graphics and animation, great sound, actually good voice acting, and some very unique (and tough) missions make SWC an awesome experience. IT IS WORTH IT! If you are a big fan of WC1, WC2, and the Privateer era WC games, you will love playing SWC on a proper system. I wanted to post this as I have received some interest from other CIC members who potentially wanted to do the same thing, and some wondered if it is worth going to such extremes when we have been blessed with SM 1.5. Thanks to the advice from "Bandit LOAF" and others, I have finally assembled a machine that is playing Super Wing Commander very well. Over the past couple months, I have been working on restoring an older Power Mac (7300/200) as well as a original Blue Bondi Imac (G3 233) mainly for playing Super Wing Commander.
