The machines used a fairly sophisticated OS. It was an evolution of the Amiga OS, which originally was meant for a console, too, although they kept adding bonuses and abstractions that a game machine didn't need. Compared to its predecessor, "Portfolio OS" also added memory protection, although that was more to implement their copy protection and royalty scheme than for security or reliability.
- kodablah 9y agoWould you happen to have any links to machine docs for the 3DO? I have scoured the net and haven't found official docs about e.g. their graphics processors like I have with consoles like the Saturn.
- puzzle 9y agoNot that I know of, sorry. Perhaps it might be worth petitioning some of the original developers. I doubt Matsushita/Panasonic would have the information anymore, although they would retain copyrights.
