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.

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 optional sync/export workflow uses Android's Storage Access Framework, and only accesses the folder(s) you explicitly choose.

Legal & Privacy

• No games included: SUPER3 does not ship with ROMs or game data, and 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.
• Network: Emulation can run offline; Flyer view may download artwork from GitHub.
• Storage: Settings, save states, and screenshots are stored locally; optional sync/export is limited to the folder you choose in the system picker.
