5DO
Relive the 3DO library with a modern, source-available emulator built in C#.
A modern 3DO emulator built in C#
5DO is a pure C# / .NET emulator for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. It pairs a cross-platform Avalonia desktop shell and game library with OpenGL, Vulkan, and software presentation paths, save states, input recording, screenshots, and a searchable library of ISO, BIN, CUE+BIN, and CHD disc images.
The project is donationware: download it, use every feature for free, and support future development with an optional donation. Donations are voluntary and do not purchase a license or commercial rights.
5DO does not include BIOS ROMs or game images. You must provide legally obtained files for both.

Donation recognition
The desktop app can remember the email address you use on PureLogicCode.com and check whether a completed donation has been recorded for 5DO. The address is stored only on your computer and is sent to the donation API only when you ask the app to check it. Once a donation is confirmed, the donation banner is hidden.
See the 5DO repository for source code, release notes, and documentation.
