SUPER3

SUPER3 is an open-source Sega Model 3 emulator for Android. It is based on the Supermodel emulator by trzy, with additional work derived from the model3emu-code-sinden fork (ARM branch).

This app does not include any games, ROMs, BIOS files, or copyrighted game content. You must supply your own legally obtained game ROMs.

Features

  • Sega Model 3 emulation (compatibility varies by title/device).
  • On-screen touch controls (Service/Test/Coin/Start and game-specific controls).
  • Virtual on-screen steering wheel for driving games (when supported by the title).
  • Save states (10 slots) with automatic screenshot thumbnails and tap-to-preview.
  • In-game pause/resume button.
  • Game flyers (front/back) in the launcher list.

Video settings (Resolution & Widescreen)

From the main game list, open the side menu (toolbar "menu" icon) and look under Video.

  • Resolution: Native (496x384) and integer scale options (2x through 8x). Higher values look sharper but can reduce performance.
  • Match device resolution: Sets the internal resolution to your device's exact pixel resolution (landscape). This also enables Widescreen and Wide background.
  • Widescreen: Expands the horizontal field of view (Supermodel -wide-screen). At very wide aspect ratios some games may cull objects at the edges.
  • Wide background: Stretches the 2D background layers when using widescreen (Supermodel -wide-bg).
  • Enhanced Real3D (experimental): Enables more desktop-like Real3D rendering (multi-pass transparency compositing + scroll fog). This can improve visuals in some games/areas, but may reduce performance on lower-end devices.

These settings are written to .../Android/data/<package>/files/super3/Config/Supermodel.ini (XResolution, YResolution, WideScreen, WideBackground, New3DAccurate).

Files & Storage

  • Save states and thumbnails are stored under the app's user data directory in Saves/ (for example: .../Android/data/<package>/files/super3/Saves/).
  • The app may offer an optional "sync"/export workflow using Android's Storage Access Framework. If enabled, the app only accesses the folder(s) you explicitly choose.

Flyers

  • Flyers are downloaded on-demand (when you switch to Flyer view) from https://github.com/izzy2lost/Model3flyers.
  • They are stored in .../Android/data/<package>/files/super3/Flyers/ as <game>_front.png and <game>_back.png.
  • You can replace or add files in that folder to customize artwork.
  • No games included: SUPER3 does not ship with ROMs or game data, and it is not intended to facilitate piracy.
  • You must own the games: Only use ROMs you are legally permitted to use in your region.
  • Trademarks: "SEGA" and all associated game names, trademarks, and copyrighted works are the property of their respective owners.
  • Not affiliated: This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by SEGA or any arcade hardware manufacturer.

Privacy

  • SUPER3 can run offline for emulation, but Flyer view may download artwork from GitHub.
  • The app stores emulator settings, save states, and screenshots locally on your device.
  • If you opt into selecting a user folder for syncing/export, access is limited to the folder you select via the system file picker.
