Hey all. So I've got myself a near-working 3DO Blaster setup here. Have the card, CR-563 CD-ROM, a suitable ISA video card + VGA Feature Cable. Also as an aside, discovered that the pass-through definitely does *not* work with AGP cards, so I've dropped back to using a Trident 8900C-something for the moment - which works at least from a display perspective.
Current status is that the 3DO Player will detect the card happily, but only gives me a black screen (an improvement from the magenta one I was getting with an AGP card). If I drop one of my 3DO Games into the CD-ROM, it'll spin up and do nothing else. I also don't get the 3DO Blaster logo appear in the Player either.
Those who have used these before: What should I expect to see with a working setup? Will it automatically display a 3DO Blaster splash screen when the Player is opened? Does the coin battery on the card have any impact on if it works or not?
Thanks!
