    I bought a set of dev library CDS and I intend to put them online for download. :)

    Anyone remember what format 3DO graphics and sound were? I'd like to convert them and offer them dual packaged.

    Nice! I have the SDK, but if this is several CDs it sounds like something new!

    Sound was standard AIFF, I believe they called their graphics cels and they were bitmap images. They also had 3DO Animator, which made animations and supported QuickTime (MooV), MacPaint, PICT and TIFF. If you have the 3DO content library amongst those discs, that's a library of multimedia files - so check what formats they are. Anything you have in 3DO format should be viewable in 3DO Animator or maybe 3DO Construction Set.

    Wait... you BOUGHT something 3DO related? I thought you hated it?!

    It's 200 CDs of random clip art and sound fx. I have the same set sitting in my closet. Not extremely useful, but interesting nonetheless...

    I want to rip then consolidate to a dvd, offer torrent.

    It's not terribly useful but it's nice as afar as collectibles go.

    It's nice, and (legalities aside, that probably nobody would care about now), I'd say it could well be useful to those of us who code.

    Yup, get packing - you can do 100 discs and peekb the other 100 ;) lol
