Features:
- 4DO now hides the mouse cursor if it’s floating over the game area.
- Support for more types of controllers/gamepads. I do not know if this also includes xbox 360 controllers.
- Users can now select a different void area pattern (including none/blank/black). This means you can turn off the “bricks” on the sides of the screen. I do indeed pay attention to comments! I personally will be using “Metal” because I like to pretend that I’m manly.
Fixes:
- If you configured your controller settings with a blank set of bindings, 4DO would fail to load it. This is now fixed, although I fixed it by changing how the file is saved.
I’m quite certain that I will be able to hear cheers of joy throughout the day tomorrow as the various people of the world discover that they can now change the void area pattern to flat black (I’m thinking of you, Sedabi!).
A clarification on the added controller support: 4DO was previously looking for input devices that identified themselves as “joystick”. I found another controller of mine that wouldn’t register and discovered that it considered itself a “gamepad”. It was quite easy to resolve once I found this. However, I doubt that XBox 360 controllers fall into this category; they have an API of their own.
The updates will slow down for a while. I want to iron out problems with the video (DirectX) as well as solve the timing issues that some people have been reporting. Because none of my machines exhibit these problems, it’ll take a while to investigate.
To try out 4DO 1.0.6.2 alpha, head to to the download page:

Good news… Xbox 360 pad is working 🙂
Bad news… can no longer play a game when mounted in Daemon tools? Also graphics are messed up in Sam Showdown.
i’ve been using magic disc to mount images. its freeware and it works great.
I’m using 1.0.6.2 with Daemon Tools Pro 4.41 and Road Rash works perfect, exactly the same as 1.0.6.1
Something changed here. Basically, all US ISO’s play fine, however, my Gex (EU) & Demolition Man (EU) images mount but will not play in 4DO? It just goes back to the insert CD / storage manager screen.
Yes! The Xbox 360 controller is working very well … Thank you!
By google translate.
quick tnought, is this video bug only happening on nvidia cards? can everyone verify their video chip sets and post what they have and wether it’s working or not?
nvidia 8800 gts not working
nvidia 330m not working
another strange thought, border still displays correctly with the bug…. is there something the video uses but the border does not?
nvidia 8800 gtx not working too
I have noticed some problems in Road Rash timming, like slowdowns and i belive the emulator are able to reach fullspeed but it doesnt sometimes. Yeah, the game have serious slowdowns compared to Playstation version but there are more often slowdowns, even when is running on 60-70-99FPS
But most of games run quite amazing
You can see this timming issues on this video

Or maybe really is a performance problem, but i doubt it, i belive that my Quad Core Q6700 can handle it 🙂
Hey Johnny, thank for fixing the controller issue. Now I can use my Xbox360 controller and my friend can use his PS3 controller. Keep up the good work it is really appreciated. Hopefully, Super Wing Commander and Wing Commander 3 will be playable soon.
Same strange Graphical Glitch here with a Nvidia 8800GT…
Thanks for the feedback. It definitely looks to be NVidia specific. I also found a machine that exhibited the problem, and I’m working on a fix.
Also I finally got an XBox 360 controller to try. Just like the others have reported, it works great! I’m now drowning in controllers that I have to return.
Hi Johnny.
I have a GT275. a friend has a Radeon.
He also has the same problem.
Another one shows the normal and GT430.
I think it should look more carefully the issue is not to try to find an approach only for Nvidia
As always with the best wishes Sedabi.
Hi Johnny,
Please see my above comment… any idea why my EU ISO’s have stopped working. US ISO’s are fine.
Thanks
If I had an (E) disc to try I would attempt to verify this. I thought I heard once though that most discs contain NTSC and PAL coded versions and which format it runs in depends on what console you put it in. I know it sounds far-fetched but I think this is the case.
Also, are you still mounting the images on a virtual cd drive? If not, in order load an ISO in the emulator, the image has to be ISO 2048. It can not be a raw image.
hallo why doom is work so slowly on 4do?
Doom is running full speed for me. But, it is still slow. This is how it is on a real 3do. The 3do version of Doom is notorious for being bad due to it’s awful frame rate. They only thing good about it is the re-done music. Lots of people praise the music, Id rather hear it through a great midi card for nostalgia’s sake.
I was kinda wrong… I replied to your second post below.
Johnny, why the choice of the curb, the emulator can not remember my option? After re-opening the emulator installed with a border pattern, and it is not at all in choosing a menu option lights up no pattern.
If you click again on it, then nothing changes. First need to select any other option, and then again choose no pattern.
I can verify this bug exsists. If you select “None” and then quit. When you reload the emulator the border is back. When you select none again, it will not turn off. The only way to currently fix this is to, select something else, then select none again.
Johnny, why in the emulsion does not sound stereo and is only mono?
In prisavke very good was the sound, and it spoils everything.
PS I probably bored you already, but if not, then you’ll get good selection of games, where now there are key problems.

Oops … sorry for 2 posts 🙂
hallo jonny why doom work so slowly ib 4do?
on freedo it works faster!!!
hmm you are right. it does run faster on FreeDO. I wish my real 3DO worked so I could see what the real speed is supposed to be on a real console.
I found a video of doom 3do on youtube that wasn’t from an emulator. Doom is in fact running slower than it would on the console but the emulator is reporting it is running fullspeed. This is a good find.
