Despite its short lifespan and having flopped hard, there is some source code for 3DO games that was released to the public.
The Ur-Quan Masters was built on top of the source code for the 3DO version of Star Control II, as the source code for the original DOS version was lostñ.
The source code for the infamous 3DO port of Doom was released in 2014 under the MIT License.

Something has resulted in two source ports, OptiDoom and Phoenix Doom.

>>8503792
3DO saved to internal memory while PSX saved to memory cards. I guess devs believed at the time that not everyone would buy a memory card so a password system would have to be implemented instead. The just did not go all in like Ubisoft went with Rayman to create both password and memory card save systems.
All of this 100% does not excuse lack of proper save system on Saturn, given that it too saved to internal memory. Lazy frauds.
