anyone got a idea how to read the filesystem of a 3do cd in a pc ? ill tried the 3do m2 cd from battle tryst this afternoon but hadnt any luck with normal pc explorer or a mac tool so i think its some special thing? some suggested to me the normal 3do tool 3dofs but that didnt work either on a iso of the original cd so iam a little running at walls =( last option might be try to use the 3do m2 devkit cd drive but i would use that option only as last try =(
you could try if you are desperate by making a iso image and scanning it with isobuster for some kinds of cds works and finds the files you can't usually see under windows explorer.
thanks i tried that already only way to see at least something was to use the direct sector view which isnt very helpfull
Well, the development CD's are in Mac format (which means Windows XP can't read them - it reports a bad CD), but they work just fine on a Mac, even on OS-X (though you need classic MacOS to run the actual software.) Maybe the arcade CD's can be read on a MAc as well....
i used a programm that makes mac cds readable in pc drives and it didnt recocnigize the cd so i begin to think its really a custom format looks like i have to dig it up in the manuals how i hate that :smt022
Here's the best 3DO disk viewer I know of. http://do-homebrew.narod.ru/3DO_Commander.htm I'm not sure if the M2 uses the same format.
Otherwise, this Japanese guy called Kashima has got an analysis (in English) of the filesystem on his website. I lost the link though, but Kyuusaku has it.
