Title: 3DO Videos ?
Post by: Huggybaby on February 25, 2008, 02:46:30 pm
I just extracted the intro and ending videos from my SCII 3DO iso image, which many people have had a hard time finding or converting. These are the two videos that currently work with UQM, as noted in the Technical Wiki (http://uqm.stack.nl/wiki/The_Ur-Quan_Masters_Technical_FAQ#How_do_I_use_the_3DO_intro_and_victory_movies_in_the_game.3F).

Is it OK for me to post them? Is 3DO considered "abandoned" yet?

If not, and your disc has gotten scratched, feel free to PM me.  ;)

If so, then the intro video sets up the game in a way that the slideshow simply can not!

Thanks,

Huggybaby

As far as I can tell, the answer to both questions is "no", which is why we aren't distributing those videos, even though we'd love to do it.

The sad quagmire of legal mumbo jumbo that is Star Control 2 lol, or so it always seems to me.

Better things are coming anyway.;) And they will belong to all.

Huggybaby: Ever tried going after the .ISO with a hex editor? ;D

No, it never occurred to me...but now I'm curious.

I found the SVN snapshot too, very interesting progress!
