SUPER3 is an open-source Sega Model 3 emulator for Android.
It is based on Supermodel by trzy, with additional work derived from the model3emu-code-sinden (ARM branch) fork.
This app does not include any games, ROMs, BIOS files, or copyrighted game content. You must supply your own legally obtained game ROMs.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
